1.1. Intended Use

2. Key Points

2.1. Activating Your Red Light Therapy Blanket

For the best possible results, it is highly recommended you read this manual prior to using your Red Light Therapy Blanket for the first time.

2.2. Photosensitivity Test

It is very important to do a photosensitivity test prior to long sessions with your Red Light Therapy Blanket. Turn on your Red Light Therapy Blanket and shine the light on an exposed part of your forearm, about 1 inch away, for 2 minutes. If you experience any discomfort or redness on your skin you must not use your Red Light Therapy Blanket until you have sought professional advice from your doctor or healthcare provider.

2.3. Usage Instructions

Your Red Light Therapy Blanket should be used with minimal clothing. The recommended session time is between five (5) minutes and twenty (20) minutes.

2.4. Multiple Usages

Red light works best when administered consistently. The best results will be seen from daily use, but as a minimum, it is recommended to use your Red Light Therapy Blanket at least 3 times a week.

2.5. What to Expect

The time it takes to see results from using your Red Light Therapy Blanket depends on your personal goals. Many peer-reviewed academic studies show the long-term benefits of red light. Most people will feel and see benefits within a week of consistent use, but others may take up to 3 months. Daily use optimizes the benefits.
