How should I use light panels?
- Duration: On average, you use Red Light Therapy at home for between 10 and 20 minutes per area. For full-body panels, this can increase to 15 to 30 minutes.
- Frequency: For the best results, use it 3 to 5 times per week. Daily use is also fine if your body responds comfortably to it.
- Distance: The ideal distance is usually between 10 and 30 cm from the panel. The closer you are, the more intense the effect. Always follow the recommendations for the specific product.
Is light therapy safe for home use?
Yes, light therapy for home use is safe when used according to the guidelines. Red light produces no harmful UV radiation and does not feel hot. Infrared can produce heat but is designed to remain comfortable and safe. When using panels, wear protective glasses and observe the recommended distances and durations.
Panel maintenance and lifespan
Proper maintenance helps extend the lifespan of your device. Regularly remove dust from the device and clean the light surface carefully with a soft cloth. LEDs have a long lifespan, allowing you to enjoy the same intensity for years. Make sure the ventilation openings remain clear so the device does not overheat.
Conclusion
Light therapy is an accessible way to support your recovery, skin, and overall well-being. With red light and infrared, you can easily promote relaxation, better circulation, and more energy, whenever it suits you.
Choose the device that fits your goals and routine, and discover how powerful consistent light use can be.
