Kala suggests you remove clothing and apply the light to the desired regions. For instance, if you are experiencing back pain, please take off any clothing and have the light directed towards your back.
The NIR lights on your device are invisible to the human eye - so rest assured all your lights are functioning and working properly even if you do not see them "light up".
Goggles/glasses are not needed for your Kala Mini. However, we do suggest that you do not look directly into the light, especially if you experience sensitivity to light or are on medications. The Kala Elite and Kala Pro come with goggles which can be used during treatments, specifically when NIR is on.
General Recommendations for Kala RED/NIR Light Therapy:
• The Kala Red Lights are high power lights that deliver effective doses even when moved further away from your body. This allows you to treat much larger area's of the body at once compared to other lights.
• The ideal frequency is likely between 3x-7x/week
(i.e. up to once per day)
• Start SLOW. Use the lowest doses of range when first starting out.
• Be conservative with dosing for any sensitive areas.
For skin issues, optimal treatment times are:
• 30 seconds-2.5 minutes per area (if the light is 6" inches away)
• 1-3.5 minutes per area (if the light is 12" inches away)
• 1.5-5 minutes per area (if the light is 18" away)
• 2-7 minutes per area (if the light is 24" inches away
• 3-14 minutes per area (if the light is 36" inches away)
For skin and anti-aging benefits, Kala suggests using it a little further away - from between 12" to 36" away from your body.
Note, having it further away from the body allows you to treat much larger areas of your body at once. In most cases this will bring the best results.
For deeper issues (e.g. muscle, bone, brain, organs, glands, fat, etc.), optimal treatment times are:
• 2-7 minutes per area (if the light is 6" inches away)
• 5-10 minutes per area (if the light is 12" inches away)
Body Position:
What is the position should when using your Kala device?
You can sit, stand or lay down. Whatever is the most comfortable position for you to treat the desired
targeted area of your body.
Depending on what part of your body you're treating, you may find different positions more comfortable than others.
Our Pro and Elite come with a door hanging kit. If you choose to use that, then you'll be standing (or sitting in a chair) next to the device. Many people do it this way.
