One of the most common questions from people new to red light therapy or RLT (Red Light Therapy) is how often you should actually use your panel.
Unlike many other treatments, red light therapy is easy to integrate into everyday life, which is why many users choose to use their panels regularly as part of their daily routine.
For most products on the market, the recommendation is normally between 10 and 20 minutes per treatment session with a distance of approximately 15–30 cm from the panel.
Why do many people choose to use red light therapy regularly?
One of the reasons why red light therapy has become so popular is its simplicity.
You don't need to make appointments, travel to a clinic, or set aside several hours. A modern red light panel can be used at home when it suits you best.
Many people therefore choose to use red light therapy in the morning as part of their start to the day, while others prefer to use the panel in the evening as a peaceful part of their daily routine.
The most important thing is not exactly what time of day you use the panel, but that you find a routine that works long-term.
How long should each treatment last?
There is no one answer that fits all situations, but for most users, short and regular treatments are more common than long and sporadic ones.
| Recommendation | Normal use |
|---|---|
| Distance to panel | Approximately 15–30 cm |
| Processing time | Approximately 10–20 minutes |
| Frequency | Regularly several times a week |
Many users choose to use their panels daily because it makes it easier to create a routine.
Is more always better?
It is easy to believe that longer treatment times automatically produce better results.
In practice, many users choose to focus on regular use instead. Therefore, shorter treatments that can be easily integrated into everyday life are often recommended instead of very long treatment sessions.
The big advantage of having a red light panel at home is that it is simple and easily accessible to use.
Which panel is best for daily use?
All models in Infracenter's PRO MAX series are developed for regular use.
The choice is mainly about how large areas you want to be able to treat at the same time.
| Model | Best suited for |
|---|---|
| IT300 PRO MAX | Face, neck and smaller areas |
| IT900 PRO MAX | Back, shoulders, legs and larger areas |
| IT1800 PRO MAX WIDE | Large treatment areas and maximum coverage |
If you know you will be using red light therapy regularly, many customers choose a larger model because it allows for treating larger areas of the body at the same time.
How to create a routine that works
The best panel is often the one that is actually used.
Therefore, we recommend placing the panel where it becomes a natural part of everyday life. For example, many people use the IT300 PRO MAX on their desk or bedside table, while the IT900 PRO MAX and IT1800 PRO MAX WIDE are often permanently mounted on a wall or door.
When the panel is always available, it becomes much easier to use it regularly.
