Indications for Use
Mito Red Lights are general wellness devices and are not intended to cure or diagnose any medical conditions. Use of this device is designed to help promote overall health and wellness by supporting cellular function. Mito Red Lights should only be operated based on the user guidelines, as outlined in this user manual.
First Time Users
For first time users, we recommend starting out with 2-3 minute treatments per area, and slowly working up to a 10-minute session over the course of 2-3 weeks as your
body acclimates to the therapy.
Standard Use
We recommend 10-minute treatments at 6-18 inches from your device. Additional 10minute sessions for specific areas may be beneficial but beyond a certain point, the
scientific evidence points to diminishing returns. More is not always better.
For this reason, we recommend you allow at least 6 hours between treatments of the same area. We recommend no more than 15 minutes in any one session. We recommend using the device 4-10 times per week. We recommend taking at least one day off per week.

Contraindications

mitoredlight MitoPRO Series Room - fig 3

Contraindications for Red Light Therapy
There are no industry-wide accepted contraindications for red light therapy or list of accepted contraindications that is designated or enforced by regulatory agencies. Research in red light therapy is ongoing, and contraindications are derived from existing research and clinical inferences.

Potential Hazards
Heat – Red light therapy will generate thermal energy as light is absorbed. This heat may present a hazard in some conditions.
Light – The electromagnetic radiation used in red light therapy is low in energy, but it may affect tissues that are sensitive to light.
Tissue Stimulation – Red light therapy is intended to stimulate tissues. In some disease states this may be undesirable.

Absolute Contraindications
Recent Burns – Recent burns may still contain residual thermal energy that may be increased by heat from red light therapy.
Malignant Cancers – There is a theoretical risk that red light therapy may increase cell proliferation in malignant cancers.
Hyperthyroidism (Neck & Upper Chest) – Red light therapy on the neck and upper chest may increase thyroid activity in those with hyperthyroidism.
Pregnancy (Abdomen) – The effects of red light therapy that reaches a developing fetus are not fully understood and may potentially have a negative effect.
Eye Disease (Eyes) – Red light therapy’s effects on various eye conditions is not fully understood and light sensitive cells in the eyes may respond unfavorably to intense red light
Light Sensitivity – Individuals with rare conditions causing extreme sensitivity to light or who have previously reacted to red light therapy should avoid its use.

Contraindications Continued

mitoredlight MitoPRO Series Room - fig 4

Relative Contraindications
Fever or Infection – There is a theoretical risk that the use of red light therapy can worsen existing hyperthermia caused by fever or infection.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) – SLE can cause skin sensitivity, increasing the risk of a reaction to red light therapy.
Severe Bleeding or Blood Loss – Some research suggests that red light therapy may slow the body’s ability to stop bleeding.
Use of Photosensitizing Medications – Medications that increase sensitivity to light may increase risks of sensitivity to red light therapy.

  • Tattoos – Red light therapy may cause cosmetic defects to body art, especially body art that uses red inks. Tattoos, especially ones that use red ink, may be prone to fading when exposed to intense red light. The tattoo ink may also cause uneven absorption of red light, causing therapy to be less uniform
  • Dark skin pigmentation – The effect of skin pigmentation on red light therapy is still being studied. Those with darker skin tones may find that their skin absorbs more  light, making it warmer than those with lighter skin tones would experience. A smaller amount of red light may actually reach deeper tissues, however, this effect is not likely to be large.
  • Dark hair – Darker colors of hair may absorb more light, causing increased warmth and decreased penetration of red light. This effect is not likely to be large.
  • Melasma / Hyperpigmentation – Our own product study showed improvement from red and NIR light on hyperpigmentation, particularly when paired with a high antioxidant serum. However, in rare instances users can experience the opposite effect. We suggest starting slowly and using red light only if this is a concern. A detailed discussion of this can be found in our article: Red Light Therapy & Hyperpigmentation

Anyone with a contraindication to red light therapy (or any health condition at all) should consult with their physician before using red light therapy.

FAQs

mitoredlight MitoPRO Series Room - fig 5

mitoredlight MitoPRO Series Room - fig 6

Is red light therapy safe? Are there side effects?****

– Mito Red Light uses only the red and near infrared wavelengths that are clinically proven to be effective and safe. However, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider for specific questions about any concerns or health conditions.

Do I need safety glasses with this light?****

– While there is a growing body of scientific research suggesting that modest amounts of red and NIR LED light may benefit certain eye conditions, Mito Red’s plug-in lights are very bright!
– As such, goggles are provided and should be worn when facing the lights, particularly when NIR is active.
– When using, DO NOT stare directly into the light emitting diodes (LEDs).
– Again, our Mito Red Lights are very bright and if you have any eye problems, or any other health conditions at all, please consult with a licensed healthcare professional before using a device like Mito Red.

Will light therapy treatments cause detox symptoms?****

– It is possible that a Mito Red Light treatment can cause some detox-related symptoms while your body acclimates. If you experience these types of issues, we recommended stopping treatments until the symptoms go away. Then start out at 2-3 minutes per treatment area and work your way slowly up to 10 minutes over the course of 2-3 weeks.
– This will help your body adapt. If you continue to experience detox-related symptoms and have any concerns regarding the use of red light therapy, we recommend stopping treatments and consulting with your healthcare provider.
– We have a full 60 day no hassle trial and full refund policy.

What if my skin is burned or damaged?****

– Red light therapy has been clinically-proven to help damaged skin heal from cuts, burns, and other blemishes. – We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
– As we are not licensed healthcare practitioners, we are not able to offer definitive clinical guidance. We recommend consulting with your trusted health care provider with specific questions.

What if I have a pre-existing health condition or take medications?****

– Mito Red Lights are classified as a general wellness devices. Out of an abundance of caution, we recommend you consult with your healthcare provider if you have any preexisting conditions or if you take photosensitizing drugs. Steroids work to suppress the immune system while red light therapy may work to stimulate it. To the extent that the two therapies may work against each other, we do not recommend they be used together.

Can children use Mito Red Light?****

– Clinical studies have shown red and NIR light therapy to be quite safe. However, if you are considering using it with children, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional.
– All treatments with children should be done under adult supervision.

Can pregnant or nursing women use the lights?****

– As there has been no clinical research with red light therapy treatments on pregnant or nursing subjects, do not use the device if pregnant or lactating before consulting with your healthcare provider.

Other considerations: Botox, breast implants and LASIK****

– Users with a history of facial fillers and/or Botox injections should consult their dermatologist prior to use.
– Users with breast implants should consult their plastic surgeon prior to use.
– Do not use the device during the healing period post Lasik eye surgery. Before resuming treatment, we recommend getting clearance from your doctor. As always, we recommend following our treatment guidelines and making sure to use the provided goggles when using the NIR wavelength.

Are the NIR LEDs not working?****

– NIR is just beyond the visible spectrum and is invisible to the naked eye. You will only actually be able to see a pink dot, or a subtle pink glow emanating from the LEDs  when they are on.
– Please rest assured that there is a significant amount of light energy emanating from those EDs and your Mito Red Light is in fact working exactly as designed.

Light Therapy Overview

mitoredlight MitoPRO Series Room - fig 17

mitoredlight MitoPRO Series Room - fig 18

What is Red and Near Infrared Light Therapy?
–  Red and near-infrared light are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and more specifically, part of the spectrum of light emitted by the sun. These wavelengths of light are
“bioactive” in humans. Below is a chart outlining the electromagnetic spectrum:

-If you remember high school physics, when you pass white light through a prism it separates out the different colors based on their wavelengths (ROYGBIV). Only a tiny  art of this spectrum (roughly 400nm to 700nm) is actually visible to the human eye.

Light Therapy Overview

mitoredlight MitoPRO Series Room - fig 19

mitoredlight MitoPRO Series Room - fig 20

At the highest end of the visible light spectrum is red light, which goes from a little over 600nm to approximately 700nm. Above the visible light spectrum is near-infrared  (NIR) from about 700nm to a little over 1,100nm.
It is specifically these red and near-infrared wavelengths that have amazing effects on our bodies. Most research showing benefits of red light and near- infrared light have used wavelengths in the ranges of 620-680nm and 800-880nm. There have now been literally thousands of studies done in both animals and humans. Overall, red and near infrared light has been repeatedly shown to have positive effects on cell function in animal and human studies and aid in improving a wide range of conditions.
It’s all about PENETRATION
Most wavelengths of light (UV, blue, green, yellow, etc.) are unable to penetrate into the body – instead they stay in the layers of the skin. However as the picture below shows,  red and near-infrared light are able to penetrate deeper into the human body and are able to reach the cells, tissues, blood, nerves, into the bones and even into the brain!

Light Therapy Overviewmitoredlight MitoPRO Series Room - fig

mitoredlight MitoPRO Series Room - fig 23

The benefits of red light: Red light between 600-700nm offers benefits for skin texture and tone, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, promoting collagen production and generally rejuvenating the appearance of skin and hair.
The benefits of near-infrared light: Near-infrared light (NIR) 700nm – 1100nm. penetrates deeper into the tissues to assist with wound healing, muscle recovery, nerve injury and joint pain.

Red light boosts cellular energy production
The most well studied mechanism of action surrounding red and near infrared light therapy is increased MITOchondrial energy production in the cells. MITOchondria are  iny organelles that are the energy power plants of all the cells in our body. Red and near infrared light therapy helps the MITOchondria create more of that energy. The specific photons found in red and near infrared light interact with a photoreceptor within our cells called cytochrome c oxidase. This interaction stimulates the mitochondria in our cells to use oxygen more efficiently, which allows the mitochondria to produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Adenosine triphosphate is a complex organic chemical that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells, e.g. muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis. Found in all forms of life, ATP is often referred to as the “molecular unit of currency” of intracellular energy transfer. When our cells have more energy, they simply perform better and the body follows suit!
Safety Instructions, Warnings, and Disclaimer
