The sweet spot is typically 6-18 inches from your red light panel, but the exact distance depends heavily on your device's power output and your treatment goals. REDDOT LED panels provide specific guidelines based on our certified irradiance levels.
Begin with 5-15 minute daily sessions, adjusting based on your belt's irradiance levels (50-200 mW/cm²). Shorter, strategic treatments work better due to the biphasic dose response.
Unfortunately, without specific endorsements or public statements from Andrew Huberman, it's impossible to definitively say which red light panel he uses. However, it's likely that he prioritizes panels with specific wavelengths (660nm and 850nm) and sufficient irradiance, based on scientific literature. Many high-quality red light therapy panels on the market meet these criteria.
The safety of red light therapy for cancer patients should be determined by their oncologist. While some studies suggest potential benefits in managing side effects of cancer treatments, red light therapy is not a cancer treatment itself.
Red light therapy may help manage rosacea symptoms by reducing inflammation and facial redness. The light can penetrate the skin and calm irritated tissues, potentially providing relief.
Focus on verified specs: clinically proven wavelengths, sufficient irradiance, essential safety certifications, appropriate size for your needs, and the manufacturer's reputation and transparency. These are the keys to an effective purchase.
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate your cells' energy production, primarily by activating mitochondria.
This boost can help reduce inflammation, promote healing, and enhance cellular function overall.
No, they aren't identical. While often grouped together and used in combination, red light and near-infrared (NIR) light are distinct parts of the light spectrum with different wavelengths and penetration depths.
Red light therapy may help alleviate arthritis symptoms by reducing inflammation and pain. The light penetrates the skin and stimulates cellular repair, potentially easing joint discomfort. While results vary, consistent use of a high-quality device may offer significant relief for some individuals.
Focus on key specs: clinically proven wavelengths (red 630-660nm, NIR 810-850nm), adequate power density (irradiance), essential safety certifications (like FDA/CE/ETL), device size/coverage, and the manufacturer's reputation. These factors determine effectiveness and safety.
