When using a red light therapy panel, distance is one of the most important factors influencing treatment effectiveness. Panels are designed to deliver high-intensity light across a larger area, so positioning your body correctly ensures that your skin absorbs the optimal amount of energy.

Recommended Distance for Panels

For most high-quality panels, including Pureluxtech systems, the ideal distance typically ranges between:

  • 10–20 cm (4–8 inches) for targeted treatment
  • 15–30 cm (6–12 inches) for general use
  • 20–40 cm (8–16 inches) for full-body exposure

Why Distance Matters

Light intensity decreases as distance increases. Standing too far away significantly reduces the amount of energy reaching your body. On the other hand, standing too close may lead to uneven exposure or discomfort.

Best Practice

Start at around 20 cm and adjust based on comfort and treatment goals. Maintain consistent positioning during sessions for optimal results.

Conclusion: Standing 15–30 cm away from a red light therapy panel ensures a balance of intensity and coverage.
