There’s no one-size-fits-all application of Red Light Therapy.

No two people are the same. Your health needs and treatment responses can differ from others when using Red Light Therapy.

With that in mind, your optimal red light dosage depends on three factors:

• The condition(s) you want to treat.

• Your overall health.

• Your skin’s light sensitivity.

For starters, we recommend using Red Light Therapy two to three times per week for 7 to 10 minutes to begin. With time, you may work your way up to daily use for a maximum of 15 minutes/day.

Additionally, please seek the consultation of your doctor or dermatologist for any concerns.

Clinical studies have shown red and NIR light therapy to be quite safe. However, if you are considering using it with children, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional. All treatments with children should be done under adult supervision.

As there has been no clinical research with Red Light Therapy treatments on pregnant clients, we do not offer Red Light Therapy if you are pregnant. If you are lactating or nursing before using Red Light Therapy please consult with your healthcare provider.

While there is a growing body of scientific research suggesting that modest amounts of red and NIR LED light may benefit certain eye conditions, Mito Red’s plug-in lights are very bright!

As such, eyewear are provided and should be worn when facing the lights, particularly when NIR is active.

Great question! Aside from the heat of the saunas, and the length of the sessions, Red/NIR light therapy uses targeted wavelengths of light for specific therapeutic effects, while full-spectrum infrared saunas use a broader range of infrared wavelengths for overall health and wellness benefits.

Mito Red Lights are FDA registered Class II devices and safe to use, but some mild effects occur occasionally, if experienced, they are…

• Slight tightness and redness around the skin (temporary)

• Eyestrain and Sensitivity

The eyes are extremely photosensitive and prolonged exposure could cause damage.

We schedule sessions in smaller doses and provide blackout goggles to avoid causing damage to the eyes.

• Headache (usually byproduct of eyestrain)

*Absolute Contraindications*:

• Recent Burns / Damaged Skin

• Red Light therapy has been clinically-proven to help damaged skin heal from cuts, burns, and other blemishes. We recommended consulting with your healthcare provider if you have concerns.

• Malignant Cancer

• Hyperthyroidism

• Epilepsy

• Pregnancy

• Eye Disease

• Light Sensitivity

*Relative Contraindications*:

• Fever or Infection

• Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

• Severe Bleeding and Blood Loss

• Use of Photosynthesizing Medications

• Steroids work to suppress the immune system while red light therapy may work to stimulate it. To the extent that the two therapies may work against each other, we do not recommend they be used together.

Yes, more is not always better. That is why we start our sessions 10 minutes long or less depending on the situation, but we advise that you listen to your body. We recommend working up to 10-15 minutes max per session. When you come out of the booth we ask you how you feel and follow up with you when you arrive for your next session. Depending on how your body reacts, we will adjust the setting and time spent in the booth as needed.

For this reason, we recommend one session per day and no more than 10-15 minutes in any one session. Also taking at least one day off per week.

Yes, light makeup can be worn and should not affect the performance of the therapy. It is generall recommended to wipe heavy oils and makeup off, however, to allow more of the light to come into direct contact with your skin

It’s up to you! When you enter the booth before you start your session, you decide whether you want to remove your clothing or keep your clothing on. As we have locks on each Red Light Therapy booth to ensure and protect your privacy during your session. This option is at your own comfort level.

Keep in mind that the more of your skin that come in direct contact with the light, the better in most cases.

If you use medications such as Tetracycline, Digoxin (used for heart irregularities) and photosensitizing drugs (e.g., tranquilizers, sulfa drugs, oral anti-diabetic drugs, antidepressants, and steroids), please consult your physician before using Red Light.

The feeling of the heat has been compared to a nice warm 80-degree day (not actual temperature of room). You will automatically feel the warmth on your skin when the light is turned on.

It is possible that a Mito Red Light treatment can cause some detox-related symptoms while your body acclimates. If you experience these types of issues, we recommend stopping treatments until the symptoms go away. Then start out at 2-3 minutes per treatment area and work your way slowly up to 10 minutes over the course of 2-3 weeks. This will help your body adapt. If you continue to experience detox-related symptoms and have any concerns regarding the use of red light therapy, we recommend stopping treatments and consulting with your healthcare provider.

Our Red Light Therapy devices are engineered to have low EMFs. However, anything with electric current running through it is going to generate some electromagnetic field. At the recommended usage distance of 6+ inches our devices emit no detectable levels of EMF.
