Who should not use red light therapy with my G4?Updated 15 days ago

Rouge panels are general wellness devices, not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Red light therapy contains no UV light and has a very good safety profile, but check with your doctor before you start, especially if you:

  • are pregnant
  • have an implanted medical device
  • have an overactive thyroid (take care on the neck and upper chest)
  • have epilepsy, seizures or sensitivity to light (never use pulsing)
  • are sensitive to light from a condition such as lupus or from a medication
  • have confirmed or suspected cancer (don't direct light at the area)
  • have an eye condition

Wait until you've recovered before using it on open wounds, skin lesions, infections or sunburn, or with a high fever.

Every session: wear the supplied goggles and don't look into the LEDs. Stop right away if you feel discomfort or see skin changes. Don't use the panel on infants or on anyone asleep or unconscious, and keep cables away from children.

See it in the manual: G4 Series User Manual, page 16 (contraindications)
