I'm new to red light therapy. How should I start?Updated 15 days ago
Start low and build up slowly. Everyone absorbs light differently, so your best routine comes from small changes over time, not a fixed recipe.
- First few days: 1 to 2 minutes per session. With a panel, start about 12 inches (30 cm) or further away and move closer as you get used to it.
- Build up: add one or two minutes a day. Most people start to notice benefits at about 5 minutes.
- Pay attention: sleep, energy, how your muscles feel after activity. Changes in skin or the look of a scar take longer.
A simple journal of your settings and how you feel makes it easy to fine-tune, and to get help from us if you need it.
