A typical red light therapy session lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the treatment area and the specific device used. For skin treatments, shorter durations are sufficient, while deeper tissue treatments may require longer exposure. It’s essential to adhere to the recommended time to avoid overstimulation of the skin and tissues.
