GETTING STARTED
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Mito Red Lights are general wellness
devices and are not intended to cure
or diagnose any medical conditions.
Use of this device is designed to help
promote overall health and wellness by
supporting cellular function. Mito Red
Lights should only be operated based
on the user guidelines, as outlined in
this user manual.
FIRST TIME USERS
For rst time users, we recommend
starting out with 2-3 minute sessions
per area, and slowly working up to a
10-minute session over the course of
2-3 weeks as your body acclimates to
the therapy.
STANDARD USE
MitoADAPT Series: We recommend
10-minute sessions at 6-12 inches from
your device.
Additional 10-minute sessions for
specic areas may be benecial but
beyond a certain point, the scientic
evidence points to diminishing returns.
More is not always better. For this
reason, we recommend you allow at
least 6 hours between sessions on the
same area. We recommend no more
than 15 minutes in any one session.
We recommend using the device 4-10
times per week. We recommend taking
at least one day off per week.
Because the LEDs are very bright, eye
protection should be worn when looking
directly towards the light, particularly
when NIR is active.
MODES
We recommend starting with Mode 1 as
you get acclimated to the light. Then
we recommend rotating your sessions
through Modes 1-6 (i.e. one day do a
session with Mode 1, the next session
use Mode 2, etc). Modes 1 though Mode
6 are various combinations of Red
(peak 630nm, peak 660nm) and NIR
(peak 810nm, peak 850nm) light. See
page 8 for a summary of the modes.
Modes 7-10 have only 50% of the LEDs
lit and can be used for gentler sessions.
Mode 11 is 100% NIR and is limited to
4 consecutive minutes (available
through the app).

CONTRAINDICATIONS
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR RED LIGHT
THERAPY
There are no industry-wide accepted
contraindications for red light therapy
or list of accepted contraindications
that is designated or enforced by
regulatory agencies. Research in
red light therapy is ongoing, and
contraindications are derived
from existing research and clinical
inferences.
POTENTIAL HAZARDS
Heat - Red light therapy will generate
thermal energy as light is absorbed.
This heat may present a hazard in
some conditions.
Light - The electromagnetic radiation
used in red light therapy is low in
energy, but it may affect tissues that
are sensitive to light.
Tissue Stimulation - Red light therapy is
intended to stimulate tissues. In some
disease states this may be undesirable.
ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS
Recent Burns - Recent burns may still
contain residual thermal energy that
may be increased by heat from red
light therapy.
Malignant Cancers - There is a
theoretical risk that red light therapy
may increase cell proliferation in
malignant cancers.
Hyperthyroidism (Neck & Upper Chest)
- Red light therapy on the neck and
upper chest may increase thyroid
activity in those with hyperthyroidism.
Pregnancy (Abdomen) - The effects
of red light therapy that reaches
a developing fetus are not fully
understood and may potentially have
a negative effect.
Eye Disease (Eyes) - Red light therapy’s
effects on various eye conditions is not
fully understood and light sensitive cells
in the eyes may respond unfavorably
to intense red light.

Light Sensitivity - Individuals with rare
conditions causing extreme sensitivity
to light or who have previously reacted
to red light therapy should avoid its use.
RELATIVE CONTRAINDICATIONS
Fever or Infection - There is a theoretical
risk that the use of red light therapy can
worsen existing hyperthermia caused
by fever or infection.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) -
SLEcancauseskinsensitivity, increasing
the risk of a reaction to red light therapy.
Severe Bleeding or Blood Loss - Some
research suggests that red light
therapy may slow the body’s ability to
stop bleeding.
Use of Photosensitizing Medications -
Medications that increase sensitivity to
light may increase risks of sensitivity to
red light therapy.
Tattoos - Red light therapy may cause
cosmetic defects to body art, especially
bodyartthat usesredinksmaybeprone
to fading when exposed to intense red
light. The tattoo ink may also cause
uneven absorption of red light, causing
therapy to be less uniform.
Dark skin pigmentation - The effect of
skin pigmentation on red light therapy
is still being studied. Those with darker
skin tones may nd that their skin
absorbs more light, making it warmer
than those with lighter skin tones would
experience. A smaller amount of red
light may actually reach deeper tissues,
however, this effect is not likely to be
large.

8www.mitoredlight.com
Anyone with a contraindication to
red light therapy (or any health
condition at all) should consult with
their physician before using red light
therapy.
Dark hair - Darker colors of hair may
absorb more light, causing increased
warmth and decreased penetration of
red light. This effect is not likely to be
large.
Melasma / Hyperpigmentation -
Our own product study showed
improvement from red and NIR light on
hyperpigmentation, particularly when
paired with a high antioxidant serum.
However, in rare instances users can
experience the opposite effect. We
suggest starting slowly and using red
light only if this is a concern.
A detailed discussion of this can be
found in our article: Red Light Therapy &
Hyperpigmentation.

FAQS
IS RED LIGHT THERAPY SAFE? ARE THERE
SIDE EFFECTS?
Mito Red Light uses only the red and
near infrared wavelengths that are
clinically proven to be effective and
safe. However, we always recommend
consulting with your healthcare
provider for specific questions about
any concerns or health conditions.
DO I NEED SAFETY GLASSES WITH THIS
LIGHT?
While there is a growing body of
scientific research suggesting that
modest amounts of red and NIR LED
light may benefit certain eye conditions,
Mito Red’s plug-in lights are very bright!
As such, eye protection is provided and
should be worn when facing the lights,
particularly when NIR is active.
WHEN USING, DO NOT STARE
DIRECTLY INTO THE LIGHT EMITTING
DIODES (LEDS).
Again, our Mito Red Lights are
very bright and if you have any
eye problems, or any other health
conditions at all, please consult with
a licensed healthcare professional
before using a device like Mito Red.
ARE THE NIR LEDS NOT WORKING?
NIR is just beyond the visible spectrum
and is invisible to the naked eye. You
will only actually be able to see a pink
dot, or a subtle pink glow emanating
from the LEDs when they are on. Please
rest assured that there is a significant
amount of light energy emanating from
those LEDs and your Mito Red Light is in
fact working exactly as designed.
WILL LIGHT THERAPY TREATMENTS
CAUSE DETOX SYMPTOMS?
It is possible that a Mito Red Light
session can cause some detox related
symptoms while your body acclimates.
If you experience these types of issues,
we recommend stopping use until the
symptoms go away. Then start out at
2-3 minutes per session area and work

10 www.mitoredlight.com
your way slowly up to 10 minutes over
the course of 2-3 weeks. This will help
your body adapt. If you continue to
experience detox-related symptoms
and have any concerns regarding the
use of red light therapy, we recommend
stopping use and consulting with your
healthcare provider.
We have a full 60-day no hassle trial
and full refund policy.
WHAT IF MY SKIN IS BURNED OR
DAMAGED?
Red light therapy has been clinically-
proven to help damaged skin heal
from cuts, burns, and other blemishes.
We recommend consulting with your
healthcare provider if you have any
concerns.
As we are not licensed healthcare
practitioners, we are not able to
offer definitive clinical guidance. We
recommend consulting with your
trusted health care provider with
specific questions.
WHAT IF I HAVE A PRE-EXISTING HEALTH
CONDITION OR TAKE MEDICATIONS?
MitoRedLightsareclassifiedasageneral
wellness devices. Out of an abundance
of caution, we recommend you consult
with your healthcare provider if you
have any pre-existing conditions or
if you take photosensitizing drugs.
Steroids work to suppress the immune
system while red light therapy may
work to stimulate it. To the extent that
the two therapies may work against
each other, we do not recommend they
be used together.
CAN CHILDREN USE MITO RED LIGHT®?
Clinical studies have shown red and NIR
light therapy to be quite safe. However,
if you are considering using it with
children, we recommend consulting
with a healthcare professional. All
treatments with children should be
done under adult supervision.
