Start by reading the instructions and confirming that the red light therapy bed is suitable for your intended use. If the manufacturer provides a fixed duration, use that duration. If it provides a range, select the conservative end unless a qualified professional has recommended a different setting. Do not combine multiple programs during the first visit, because that makes it difficult to identify which setting caused a benefit or reaction.
Use the supplied timer and remain in the recommended position. Wear the eye protection specified for the equipment, keep vents clear, and avoid changing the distance from the light source during the session. Mild warmth may be noticeable, but treatment should not cause burning pain, severe discomfort, duizeligheid, or eye symptoms.
After the first session, write down the program, duur, datum, body position, and any response during the following hours. A simple log gives you a baseline. If the skin becomes unusually irritated or you experience persistent eye discomfort, stop using the bed and ask the operator or a healthcare professional for guidance before repeating the exposure.
