In general, more than once per day is too much. For most people, the optimal frequency is 3 to 6 times per week. Doing too much would give less beneficial results than doing the right amount.

For an acute problem, like healing an injury, it may be ideal to do one treatment per day.

When using our panels and Mini60Pro handheld mini panel, we recommend being at least 3 inches away from the device. 6 inches away is ideal. The mask, eye treatment and hair growth helmet are made to be used closer to the skin.

For most purposes (anti-aging, boosting immunity, decreasing inflammation), the time of the day does not matter at all.
If you are using it to enhance fat loss in response to exercise or for cellulite reduction, it may be beneficial to use the light on the target area right before doing exercise.
If you are using the light to enhance performance during physical activity, use it on the muscles that are going to be more active 5 to 60 minutes before the activity.
If you are using the light to speed recovery after exercise, using it right after exercise or several hours later is ideal.

If you are using the light for pain relief, you will notice an immediate pain killing effect after 20 minutes.
If you regularly get cut or injured in some way, and you observe how long it typically takes you to heal, you will notice it heals much faster.
If you are using it for hair loss and you take photos, you will likely notice that over weeks or months, your pictures show improvement.
If you are using it for arthritis, you may notice after a few weeks or months of treatment, that your joints hurt a lot less and move better, or you don't get pain the day after exercise, etc.
If you are using it for wrinkle reduction and anti-aging purposes, you will likely notice effects within a few weeks (and may even have people complimenting you on how good you look!)

If you want to use the light to treat deeper tissues like glands, muscles, bones or tendons, go for pure near-infrared or a 50-50 mix of red and near-infrared. If you want to do anti-aging or heal things more in the surface tissues, red light may have an advantage. But keep in mind that both red light and near-infrared will work for both purposes

In general, the research indicates that red and infrared lights are beneficial to eye health, but the brightness of a powerful LED light can be too hard on the eyes, so use the protective glasses sold with the panels to protect your eyes.

No, they don't. UV light is another part of the light spectrum entirely separate fron red and near-infrared.

No, you need a device that has enough power and has the proper wavelenghts of light.

No. Tanning and sunburns come from UV rays These devices do not emit UV light.

No. Our body synthesizes vitamin D from exposure to UVB light. These devices do not emit UV light.

No, unless the fabric is really thin and light gets through it.

There is no data on this, so we advise you to stay on the side of caution. Pregnant women should avoid using our devices.

There are no risks of side effects to red light therapy. However, people with photosensitivity or specific medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional before starting treatment.
