For the best results, choose a medical-grade bed with LEDs emitting wavelengths of 630-670 nm. look for brands like Aspen, Hooga and LightStim which offer high-quality, affordable beds under $3,000. For anti-aging and pain relief, use 2-3 times a week for 10-15 minutes, building up as tolerated. For muscle recovery, shorter 5-10 minute sessions can be effective. Check with your doctor first if you have conditions like cancer, epilepsy or photosensitivity.
