Red light therapy explained

Set up the device on a table or use the hanging kit included with the packaging to mount it on the back of a door or wall. Plug in the device, turn on the main power switch and have both smaller red switches on position II. Expose the part of your body that you would like to target without clothing. Depending on distance and what your goals are, use the light for a maximum of between 10-20 minutes daily.

While there is a growing body of scientific research suggesting that modest amounts of red and NIR LED light may benefit certain eye conditions, Luminous Labs products lights are very bright due to their high intensity! While the light is not harmful to the eyes, we suggest wearing the included eye goggles.

When it comes to getting the most out of red light and experiencing all the benefits of your device, it’s important to know just how much you need. First and foremost, the perfect dosage is the one that fits your lifestyle the best! To help you find the right amount for you, we’ve developed a short, sweet, and easy questionnaire included in our Quickstart Guide. To help you include red light technology into your daily routine, we’ve created a 21-day boot camp loaded up with everything you need to know about red light, building routines and actively working towards them. The best part about it? You can redo our bootcamp whenever you want! As a rule of thumb, we recommend a daily session of 10-20 minutes.

There is no scientific research on the optimal time of day for your red-light sessions, we recommend planning your sessions according to what you want to achieve out of those sessions. For example, if you’re looking to improve your overall performance throughout the day, we recommend a more “powerful” session in the morning to supercharge your cells. If your goal however is to reach a deeper and better sleep, we recommend a lighter and shorter session in the evening – at least an hour before going to bed.

Yes. While there is no negative effects to getting too much red light, the results will disappear if you get too much. Same if you do not get enough. There is a sweet spot in the middle that you should aim to hit. Most studies show that 10-20 minutes a day is adequate. This is highly independent on the individual. Play around with it and see what feels best!
