▪ I do not recommend going further away than 12” if you’re treating deeper tissues. Roughly 6” inches away is ideal for delivering the most light to the deeper tissues. ▪ If you get the Joovv light, these tend to have lower power density than the Red Rush360 and Platinum lights. So for the Joovv lights, you’ll want to add roughly 20-40% more time to the above dose ranges (when using them from 6-12” away from your body) E.g. If you would use the Red Rush360 for 10 minutes (from 12” away), you may need to use the Joovv Mini for 13-15 minutes to get the same dose. ▪ For use on the brain, some people recommend much relatively higher doses (the high end of my recommended dose ranges), due to the fact that it’s harder to deliver a significant amount of light to the brain tissues since the light has to penetrate through the skull before it can reach the brain. Thus, less overall light actually makes it to brain tissue (relative to say, treating fat or muscle tissue). As a general rule, the deeper the tissue and the more it is covered by bone, the longer doses will be needed to deliver a significant amount of light to that targeted tissue. ● Total Treatment Dose/Time: o I suggest that you limit total treatment dose for all areas of the body to no more than roughly 120J. So assuming the light is 6” or 12” away from your body, that means no more than 15-20 minutes of time total with light shining on your body. o There isn’t adequate research on this yet, so I suggest being conservative. Here’s Hamblin on this subject: “ What we don’t really know is can you overdose the body on total joules or is it only when it’s concentrated? That’s what we don’t know ... Ten minutes or half an hour does no harm at all ... Mostly, I tell people they can use these things for 10 or 20 minutes a day and it’ll have major benefits and extremely unlikely to have any ill effects.” o If you use the lights I recommend for supporting muscle recovery or fat loss for example, a reasonable session might be to treat your chest and abdomen for 3 minutes from 6” away, then the front of your legs for 4 minutes from 6” away, and then your back for 4 minutes from 6” away. ▪ This would give a total treatment time of 12 minutes, 24J per body area, and a total body dose of 72J. o Another example for anti-aging, would be to treat your face from 18” away for 3 minutes, the front of the legs and thighs for 3 minutes from 18” away, and the back of your legs and thighs for 3 minutes from 18” away. ▪ This would be a total treatment time of 6 minutes, roughly 6J per body area, and would give a total body dose of about 18J. If all of this is overwhelming, here’s the quick and simple summary of the most important points for how to do red/NIR light therapy:PDF Image | Red Light Therapy Ultimate Guide
