Individuals with sensitive skin should take extra care when using red light therapy. While the treatment is generally gentle, adjusting distance can significantly improve comfort.

Recommended Distance

  • 20–30 cm for panels
  • slightly increased spacing for handheld devices

Why Distance Helps

Increasing distance reduces light intensity, which:

  • prevents overstimulation
  • reduces warmth sensation
  • improves overall comfort

Additional Tips

  • start with shorter sessions
  • monitor skin reaction
  • avoid overuse

Conclusion

For sensitive skin, a slightly greater distance ensures a gentler and more comfortable treatment experience.
