Red Light Therapy is designed to support general wellness by promoting relaxation, recovery, and healthy routines. The following protocols outline common ways users choose to incorporate red light sessions into their lifestyle. Since every individual may respond differently, consider these as experience-based guidelines rather than medical instructions.
Skin health & Anti-aging:
- Distance: 15–30 cm from panel
- Session Time: 10–15 minutes per area
- Frequency: 4–5 times per week (maintenance: 2–3)
- Note: Focus on face, neck, and chest; clean skin before treatment; avoid makeup or sunscreen.
Muscle Recovery & Performance
- Distance: 30–60 cm from panel
- Session Time: 15–20 minutes per target area (e.g., quads, back, shoulders)
- Frequency: Post-exercise or 3–5 times per week
- Note: Use after training for recovery or pre-workout for circulation/activation.
Joint Pain & Inflammation
- Distance: 20–40 cm from panel
- Session Time: 10–20 minutes per affected joint
- Frequency: Daily or at least 4 times per week
- Note: Ideal for knees, elbows, hips, or localised areas; combine with gentle movement.
Mood, Energy & Sleep Support
- Distance: 30–60 cm (whole body or upper body exposure)
- Session Time: 10–15 minutes
- Frequency: Morning or midday, 4–7 times per week
- Note: Morning use helps reset circadian rhythm; avoid very late evening if it feels energising.
Wound Healing & Skin Repair
- Distance: 15–25 cm
- Session Time: 5–10 minutes per area
- Frequency: Daily or until healed
- Notes: Keep treatment time short to avoid overstimulation of sensitive tissue.
General Wellness / Whole-Body
- Distance: 30–60 cm
- Session Time: 15–20 minutes (front and back if possible)
- Frequency: 3–5 times per week
- Notes: Great for systemic benefits — energy, circulation, recovery, mood.

- Frequency: 3–5 times per week
- Notes: Great for systemic benefits — energy, circulation, recovery, mood.
- Distance Matters: Position yourself 15–30 cm from the panel for skin treatments. For deeper tissues (muscles, joints), 30–60 cm can be effective.
- Session Length: Typical sessions last 10–20 minutes per area. Start shorter (5–10 minutes) if you’re new, then gradually increase.
- Consistency Is Key: Use 3–5 times per week for best results. Long-term, consistent use provides more benefits than occasional sessions.
- Protect Your Eyes: Panels are generally safe, but avoid staring directly into the lights. Use protective eyewear if you have light sensitivity.
- Timing of Use: Morning or midday use may boost energy and focus. Evening use can support recovery and relaxation, but avoid too close to bedtime if it energises you.
- Clean Skin: Use on clean, dry skin — no makeup, sunscreen, or heavy lotions.
- Keep the Panel dust free: Wipe the panel occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust buildup.
- Combine with Other Wellness Habits: Hydration, good sleep, and nutrition support the cellular benefits of RLT. Can be paired with PEMF, sauna, or exercise for synergistic effects.
- Unplug before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Gently wipe the panel surface and frame.
- Store the panels in a cool, dry environment.
- Do not use alcohol, bleach, ammonia or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure the panel is fully dry before plugging it back in.
- Regularly inspect the power cord, plug and panel for early signs of wear or damage.
- Stop use and contact PeakMe if you notice any issues.
Frequently asked questions
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, involves the use of low-wavelength red and near-infrared light to treat various health conditions. It was originally developed by NASA for plant growth experiments during shuttle missions and later found to improve wound treatment. This therapy works by penetrating the skin and stimulating cellular function, enhancing energy production in mitochondria. This process boosts overall cellular performance, leading to improved skin health, faster muscle recovery, and reduced inflammation.
Whether you’re a high performer, fitness enthusiast, or wellness seeker, red light therapy can elevate your daily routine.
- Improves Sleep & Energy – Rest deeper, wake sharper, perform stronger.
- Accelerates Recovery – Reduce muscle soreness, inflammation, and downtime.
- Supports Skin Health – Stimulates collagen for smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
