Should Beginners Start Farther from the Device?

For those new to red light therapy, starting at a slightly greater distance is often recommended. This allows the body to gradually adapt to light exposure while minimizing the risk of discomfort.

Why Beginners Should Be Cautious

Even though red light therapy is safe, first-time users may not be familiar with how their skin reacts. Starting farther away helps:

• reduce intensity exposure
• avoid temporary sensitivity
• build confidence in usage

Recommended Beginner Approach

• start at 20–30 cm
• use shorter sessions (5–10 minutes)
• gradually move closer over time

Progressive Adjustment

After a few sessions, users can:

• reduce distance slightly
• increase session time
• monitor skin response

Conclusion

Yes, beginners should start slightly farther from the device and gradually adjust for optimal results.
