Setup & Treatment Guidelines

OVERVIEW

Kala Pro & Elite User Manual
Kala Mini User Manual
The skin and surface treatments need much lower doses than deep tissues, and that total body dose (adding up all the light delivered across the body you treat). Due to the high power, high quality and irradiance of the Kala devices, lower doses, from a further distance in most cases will be sufficient and deliver the best overall results.

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.

Kala Mini

Standard Treatment: Build up to 10-minutes treatments at 6-12 inches away for optimal results. The Kala Mini is great for targeted treatments.

1. Hold the Power button on the top of the device to power on

2. Hold your Kala Mini 6"-12" away from the desired treatment region

3. Hold the power button on the top of the device to power off

4. Tap the power button one time to see the battery level

Kala Pro

Standard Treatment: Build up to 10-minute treatments at 6-12 inches from your device for optimal results. 15-20 minutes for symptomatic areas may be beneficial, but beyond that, the evidence points to diminishing returns (your cells can only absorb so much light at once).

1. Plug your device into a power outlet

2. Hit the Power button on the back of the device

3. Select the Power button on the digital
dashboard

4. Select Red/NIR

5. Apply the light to the desired regions from 6"-12" away

Kala Elite/Duo/Quad

Standard Treatment: Assuming the light is 6" or 12" away from your body, that means no more than roughly 15-20 total minutes of time shining the Kala light is needed. Optimal sessions are 10 minutes once daily.

1. Plug your device into a power outlet

2. Hit the Power button on the back of the device

3. Select the Power button on the digital dashboard

4. Select Red/NIR

5. Apply the light to the desired regions from 6"-12" away

Kala Therapy Lamp

Standard Treatment: For optimal results, aim your Kala Lamp 6-24" (inches) from your face for 30 minutes – 2 hours within the first two hours of waking up. Best results can be seen when used in a dark setting (lights off).

It’s common to see improvement in your mood, energy and concentration within two-to-four days if used for at leased 30 minutes every morning.

To use the Kala Lamp, don’t look directly into the light. Place the lamp about 2 or 3 feet away while you read, eat, work or do other activities. Let the light hit your skin and be absorbed directly into it.

1. Plug your device into a power outlet

2. Gently touch the middle button to turn on the device. Hold to adjust the brightness.

3. Select the button on the left side to change the colour temperature.

4. Gently touch the middle button. The lamp will flash once to show a successful timer has been set. The lamp will turn off after 1 hour. Touch again, the lamp will flash twice to show that the timer has been cleared.
