Most Red Light Therapy Bed manufacturers recommend short, regular sessions rather than long, occasional ones.
A typical starting routine looks like this:
1. Start with Short Sessions
Begin with 10–15 minutes per session to see how your skin and body respond. More exposure is not automatically better.
2. Expose Clean, Bare Skin
Light works best when it reaches the skin directly. Remove clothing from the areas you want to treat, and avoid thick lotions or sunscreen before a session.
3. Stay Consistent
Research protocols and studio schedules usually involve several sessions per week. Consistency over weeks is generally considered more important than a single long session.
4. Protect Your Eyes
Follow the manufacturer’s guidance on eye protection. Many beds include goggles or recommend keeping the eyes closed during bright full-body sessions.
5. Track Your Results
Keep simple notes on skin appearance, soreness, sleep, and recovery. Individual responses vary, and tracking helps you judge whether the routine is working for you.
