Episode notes
Choose Multiwavelength Panels
- Prefer panels that include multiple wavelengths to better mimic sunlight and capture varied biological effects.
- Include both red and near-infrared and add other wavelengths (green, blue, UV) if available and safe.
Match Device Size To Goal
- Match device size to treatment goals: small handhelds for spot treatments, large panels for efficient full-body sessions.
- Treat roughly the area of the panel and move or rotate for full-body coverage if using smaller devices.
Distance Affects Dose And Penetration
- For effective penetration stand close (around 6 inches) or apply directly to skin for deeper tissues, but adjust distance if it's too intense.
- Use wraps for joints and consider staying further away if you have severe illness or sensitivity.
