How do I use PlatinumLED Therapy Lights? What distance should I be from the light? What about dosage?Updated a month ago
As a general rule of thumb, we’ve found that 10–20 minutes per treatment area at a distance of around 8"–14" for deep tissue or 16"–24" for superficial facial skin therapy on bare skin, with a maximum of 2–3 treatment areas per day, to be a great average usage guideline for most applications. We recommend using light therapy at least 3 to 5 times per week for optimal results. Start slower and farther away at first, then gradually work your way closer/longer once your tolerance has been established.
For the BIOMAX Pro series, due to the increased output, dosage is typically 7–14 minutes per treatment area at the same recommended distances.
We also recommend caution when using the NIR array on any areas with pre-existing hyperpigmentation concerns, as this type of light may aggravate the condition. In those cases, we suggest using red only.
