How to Dose Red Light Therapy for Maximum Benefit During Norwegian Winters

When you think of winter here in Norway, what do you think of? Cold and dark? With the sun barely making an appearance, we miss out on much-needed red and near-infrared light as well as UV. We spend more time indoors where the only lighting is visible spectrum LED bulbs that are robbing you of light.

This light, abundant in warmer, summer months, plays a vital role in supporting our mitochondria. That’s why any exposure to red light therapy during winter can be better than nothing—especially when our bodies are starved of light.

However, getting the right dose can significantly enhance your results, making the difference between small and substantial health improvements.

Why Proper Dosing Matters

Many companies boast high irradiance levels like 200 mW/cm², often measured inaccurately with solar meters. While these figures seem impressive, they are frequently misleading.

Combining improper irradiance levels with generic dosing recommendations such as “20 minutes, 4-7 times per week” lack the precision needed to optimize Red light therapy for different goals. Whether you are targeting skin rejuvenation, muscle recovery, or deeper tissue repair, different areas of the body require different energy levels. Understanding this can make a massive difference to the results you achieve.

Personal Guidance for Better Results

Unlike other providers, I offer a personalized red light therapy guide for every customer. By calculating proper irradiance levels for your device and providing you with those details, I help you understand how best to use it for your unique needs. This ensures you aren’t wasting time or falling short, or over shooting of therapeutic doses

The Power of Precision: Use Our Dosage Calculator

To further empower your therapy experience, I’ve created a Red Light Therapy Dosage Calculator. Simply enter your device’s power density (mW/cm²) and your desired energy dose (J/cm²), and the calculator will tell you the optimal session time. It even includes optional adjustments for skin reflection and skin color, both of which can affect dosing efficiency.

Red light therapy is more than just a product to me—it’s a personal passion. I use red light devices multiple times a week and test almost all available products myself. This hands-on approach means I’m not simply a sales company; I believe in the technology and its benefits. I create detailed usage guides, built this dosage calculator, and carefully test every unit before it reaches you because I want you to have the best experience and results
