Red Light Therapy Guide
This guide shows you how to get better results from your red light therapy by adjusting four key settings: Wavelength decides how deeply the light goes into your body — 660nm is great for skin and surface layers, while 850nm reaches deeper into muscles and joints. Frequency (how fast the light pulses) can affect how cells respond and help reduce heat buildup during sessions. Dimmer controls the brightness — use lower settings for sensitive areas, higher for deeper treatment. Time sets the length of the session — the right time ensures you get the full benefit without overdoing it.
