I'm new to red light therapy. How should I start with my G4?Updated 15 days ago

Start slowly and build up. Everyone absorbs light differently, so your best settings come from small changes over time.

  1. First few days: 1 to 2 minutes per session. Start about 12 inches (30 cm) or further from the panel, and move closer as you get used to it.
  2. Build up: add one or two minutes a day. Most people start to notice benefits at about 5 minutes.
  3. Stay within the limit: no more than 20 minutes in total in any 6-hour period.
  4. How often: 3 to 6 times a week, with one day off a week generally advisable.

Using too much can cancel out good results just as using too little can. A simple journal of your settings and how you feel makes it easy to fine-tune. Need help? [email protected] or 877-664-6484.
