The most effective time of day to take a light bath is between 6 am and 8 pm for a recommended period of 2 hours per day.

You can take lightbaths as often as you like but the treatment is most effective if you take lightbaths of the below-mentioned duration at least five days in a row.

Positioning the appliance
