How to do RLT

It’s easy to incorporate red light therapy into your lifestyle because it’s a passive activity. For example, you can sit, stand or lie in front of your panel while working at your computer, doing yoga, meditating or even streaming shows.

Below are simple step by step instructions for both panels and direct on skin devices to help you get started:

Panels

Step 1

Find a a comfortable position where your Hero Series panel is 30-60cm away from the area you wish to treat (this provides appropriate irradiance for 5-10 minutes and gives the beams enough distance to overlap)

Step 2

Ensure nothing will obstruct the light i.e. don't wear clothes!

Step 3

Use the “TIME+” and “TIME-” buttons to set the timer to between 5 and 10 minutes depending on what you feel comfortable with and the panel distance (if closer to 30cm then 5 minutes will do, if closer to 60cm 10 minutes is better)

Step 4

While many studies show red light therapy can improve vision and a major scientific review analysing over 6,000 studies found no evidence of harm, this is a sensitive area and medical views are not unanimous. For this reason we provide protective goggles so you can make an informed decision with guidance from your healthcare provider as of whether to wear the goggles or not³

Step 5

Press the "RED" and "NIR" buttons to turn on all 5 wavelengths

Step 6

Relax and enjoy the warmth and good vibes - the panel will automatically turn off after the timer you set finishes

Tip: Don’t forget to treat your back, sides and other hard-to-reacch parts of your body!

Direct on Skin Devices

Step 1

Remove any clothes from the area you are looking to treat

Step 2

Wrap, place or otherwise position your HeroBelt, HeroHat, HeroMask or other device directly on your skin

Step 3

Use any straps to gently affix the device so it does not become loose and fall off

Step 4

Ensure the device is connected to an appropriate power supply (controller, power bank or wall socket - varies from product to product)

Step 5

Turn the device on and select your desired mode

Step 6

Relax and enjoy the warmth and good vibes - the default timer settings for direct on skin devices provide appropriate energy exposure so there is no need to adjust this - once the timer is finished you have completed your session and can remove the device
