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
We recommend 10-minute treatments.
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 treatments. We
recommend no more than 15 minutes
in any one session. We recommend
using around 4-10 times per week. We
recommend taking at least one day off per
week.
MAINTENANCE
The Mito Red Light® does not require any
maintenance beyond basic care and
regular cleaning. Cleaning the light is
easy, just unplug the light and wipe the
surface with a cloth or paper towel. Do not
use harsh cleaning chemicals or bleach
because they may damage the light. Make
sure the light is dry before using it again.
For safety, the light is only intended for use
indoors.

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.

7
www.mitoredlight.com
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) - SLE
can cause skin sensitivity, 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
body art that uses red inks may be prone
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.
Dark hair - Darker colors of hair may absorb
more light, causing increased warmth and

Anyone with a contraindication to red
light therapy (or any health condition at
all) should consult with their physician
before using red light therapy.
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 first 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, goggles are 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
definitiveclinicalguidance.Werecommend
consulting with your trusted health care
provider with specific questions.
WHAT IF I HAVE A PRE-EXISTING HEALTH
CONDITION OR TAKE MEDICATIONS?
Mito Red Lights are classified as a general
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. First, all
treatments with children should be done
under adult supervision.
CAN PREGNANT OR NURSING WOMEN
USE THE LIGHTS?
As there has been no clinical research with
red light therapy treatments on pregnant
or nursing subjects, do not use the device
if pregnant or lactating before consulting
with your healthcare provider.

If you remember high school physics, when you pass white light through a prism it
separates out the different colors based on their wavelengths (ROYGBIV). Only a tiny part
of this spectrum (roughly 400nm to 700nm) is actually visible to the human eye.
Below is a chart outlining the electromagnetic spectrum:
LIGHT THERAPY OVERVIEW
What is Red and Near Infrared Light
Therapy?
Red and near-infrared light are part
of the electromagnetic spectrum,
and more specically, part of the
spectrum of light emitted by the
sun. These wavelengths of light are
“bioactive” in humans.

16 www.mitoredlight.com
At the highest end of the visible light
spectrum is red light, which goes from a
little over 600nm to approximately 700nm.
Above the visible light spectrum is near-
infrared (NIR) from about 700nm to a little
over 1,100nm.
It is specically these red and near-infrared
wavelengths that have amazing effects
on our bodies. Most research showing
benets of red light and near-infrared light
have used wavelengths in the ranges of
620-680nm and 800-880nm.
There have now been literally thousands
of studies done in both animals and
humans. Overall, red and near infrared
light has been repeatedly shown to have
positive effects on cell function in animal
and human studies and aid in improving a
wide range of conditions.
LIGHT THERAPY OVERVIEW
It's all about PENETRATION.
Most wavelengths of light (UV, blue, green,
yellow, etc.) are unable to penetrate into
the body - instead they stay in the layers
of the skin.
However as the picture above shows,
red and near-infrared light are able to
penetrate deeper into the human body
and are able to reach the cells, tissues,
blood, nerves, into the bones and even into
the brain!

RED LIGHT BOOSTS CELLULAR ENERGY
PRODUCTION
The most well studied mechanism of
action surrounding red and near infrared
light therapy is increased MITOchondrial
energy production in the cells.
MITOchondria are tiny organelles that are
the energy power plants of all the cells
in our body. Red and near infrared light
therapy helps the MITOchondria create
more of that energy.
The specic photons found in red
and near infrared light interact with a
photoreceptor within our cells called
The benets of red light: Red light between 600-700nm offers benets for skin texture and
tone, smoothing ne lines and wrinkles, promoting collagen production and generally
rejuvenating the appearance of skin and hair.
The benets of near-infrared light: Near-infrared light (NIR) 700nm - 1100nm penetrates
deeper into the tissues to assist with wound healing, muscle recovery, nerve injury and
joint pain.
cytochrome c oxidase. This interaction
stimulates the mitochondria in our cells to
use oxygen more efciently, which allows
the mitochondria to produce more ATP
(adenosine triphosphate). Adenosine
triphosphate is a complex organic
chemical that provides energy to drive
many processes in living cells, e.g. muscle
contraction, nerve impulse propagation,
and chemical synthesis. Found in all
forms of life, ATP is often referred to as the
"molecular unit of currency" of intracellular
energy transfer. When our cells have more
energy, they simply perform better and the
body follows suit!
