• If using the unit anywhere near the face, put tan-
ning goggles on rst.

distance anywhere from touching the skin to 1
inch away from the skin, depending on the depth
of treatment desired.e Red light penetrates 1/2
inch into your tissue/joint. Reaching your tendon
and joint directly, which makes the treatment very
eective.
• Hold the unit on that spot for anywhere from 1 to
2 minutes. en proceed to any additional spots.

• For joint pain, it may be necessary to treat the area
in question for up to 10 minutes. It may be help-
ful to move the light around to dierent angles
around the area in question. For example, if it’s a
nger, point the light at dierent angles around
the circumference of the nger, as you feel the
need.
Allow a day for full impact of healing to begin. For
chronic pain, repeat treatment daily for 2 weeks.
SESSION FREQUENCY
For joint pain, daily sessions are recommended, 2 to
3 times a day. For other conditions, 3 times a week
is generally enough. is allows tissue to rest between
treatments.
