For effective red light therapy aimed at improving sleep and overall well-being, consider the following guidelines regarding the type of bulbs and exposure duration:
Type of Bulbs (You can order on Amazon)
LED Bulbs: Choose LED bulbs specifically designed for red light therapy. These should emit red light at wavelengths typically between 600 to 900 nanometers (nm), with 660nm (red) and around 850 nm (near-infrared) being common choices for skin and deeper tissue treatments, respectively.
Exposure Duration
Daily Sessions: Most recommendations suggest daily exposure to red light therapy.
Duration: Sessions can last 10 to 20 minutes. Depending on your specific needs and the device's intensity, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines or a healthcare provider's recommendations.
Additional Considerations
Distance: The effectiveness of red light therapy also depends on the distance between the light source and your skin. Typically, positioning the light source 6 to 12 inches away from the body part being treated is advised.
Safety: Ensure the red light therapy device is FDA-approved for the intended use, and always use it according to the manufacturer's instructions to avoid overexposure.
