How To Use Light Pads in a Red LED Light Therapy Session
The Future is Here
Red light therapy, once limited to medical settings like spas and clinics, is now becoming more accessible and affordable with the advent of portable home devices. Unlike many other health treatments, red light therapy can be used daily without risk, invasive procedures, or unwanted side effects.
Proper usage of the light pads in red LED light therapy is essential. This guide aims to help medical professionals understand the correct application of these pads in therapeutic sessions.
Procedure
Setup:
- Connect each pad and the face mask to the appropriate port.
- Press “ON” on the display above each port.
Positioning:
- The Contour Light system includes four large pads, two smaller pads, and a face mask for the face and chest.
- Instruct the patient to lie on their back on the massage table, positioning themselves so that the pads cover their upper, middle, and lower backs, as well as the muscles in their hips and thighs.
- Place two large pads with the light-colored sides facing up horizontally on the table.
- Place the remaining two large pads horizontally on the patient’s front, covering their abdomen and hips.
- Secure one small pad around each upper arm with Velcro.
- Adjust the face mask so it is approximately 1.5 to 2 inches away from the patient’s face and covers both the face and chest.
Treatment:
- Use the arrows to select the desired treatment duration on the timer. For fat reduction, set it for thirty minutes.
- Press the Start button to begin the session.
- The session will last thirty minutes, during which time you can attend to other tasks.
Completion:
- After the treatment, remove the pads from the patient and place them on the cart.
- Help the patient off the massage table and direct them to the dressing area.
- Clean each pad and the face mask cover with disinfectant spray or wipes, ensuring all crevices are thoroughly cleaned.
