Theia Glow 3.0 Red Light Therapy Power Panel - Theia How To Glow 660nm 850nm Full Body

Red light therapy is generally generally considered to be very safe and there are no known side effects. However there are some considerations where you should avoid using red light or at least discuss it with your physician.

If you are sensitive to light, we recommend speaking to your doctor prior to using Rouge. If you are pregnant, have cancerous or potentially cancerous lesions, or if you are taking medication such as Tetracycline, Digoxin, Retin A, or any other photosensitizing drug, you should speak to your healthcare provider before using Rouge. You should not use Rouge on infants.

ROUGE RED LIGHT THERAPY DOSAGE GUIDELINES

We recommend starting slow with shorter sessions at a greater distance. Be conservative on initial dosage when working on more sensitive areas. Adding up all the areas you will treat, do not exceed 120 joules of exposure per session, which is approximately 15-20 minutes of total exposure at close range.

These guidelines are valid for all Rouge red light therapy products.

Frequency: 

Minimum of 3 times per week, ideally once daily. If more than once per day is required, sessions should be at least 6 hours apart.

Distance from light:

The closer you are, the shorter your session will be and you will cover a smaller surface area. If you stand further away, you will be able to cover a larger area but more time will be required. Remember that we need to give the treatment area a certain amount of energy, as we move away from the light the energy available to your body diminishes rapidly.

For skin issues: 

Skin requires 3 to 15 joules of red light (660nm) per session which you can achieve by following these guidelines:

6” (15 cm) from the light for 30 seconds to 2.5 minutes

12” (30 cm) from the light for 1 minute to 3.5 minutes

18” (45 cm) from the light for 1.5 minutes to 5 minutes

24” (60 cm) from the light for 2 minutes to 7 minutes

36” (90 cm) from the light for 3 minutes to 14 minutes

Note: If you are using red light for anti-aging or general skin health purposes, then you should stand between 12 and 36 inches from the light.

For more specific therapeutic or medical uses like treating wounds, scars, sores or other skin disorders or to stimulate hair growth then you should stand closer, between 6 and 12 inches for maximum effectiveness.

For deeper issues:

For treating deeper issues, like muscle, brain, bones, tendons, glands, fat, joints, fat, etc., we need between 10 and 40 joules of near infrared light (850nm). In this case we will always want to be close to the light. Here are guidelines to follow:

6” (15 cm) from the light for 2 minutes to 7 minutes

12” (30 cm) from the light for 5 minutes to 10 minutes

Red and red/infrared LED lights use ranges of wavelengths that penetrate the outer layer of the skin, providing the cells with usable energy. This brings about various reactions in the cells which are believed to have benefits. Learn More.

Red light is visible to the eye. We  use 660nm wavelength for all of our devices. It is a shorter wavelength, widely used in research and clinical settings. This wavelength is short which means it hits the surface of the skin and penetrates about 1-2mm below the skin's surface. Meanwhile, Near InfraRed (NIR) light is nearly invisible to the naked eye, and it penetrates deeper below the skin surface, 2 to 3mm. Rouge lights are always balanced with half our lights at 660nm and the other half at 850nm.

The frequency of use depends on the individual and the specific condition being treated. However, many people see benefits from using a red light panel 3-4 times per week for 10-20 minutes per session.

The strength of the lights in Theia Glow 3.0 Red Light Panel is expressed in irradiance, which is measured in milliWatts per centimeters squared (mW/cm²). The panel delivers an irradiance of up to 100 mW/cm² at a distance of 6 inches, making it a powerful tool for red light therapy.
