Planning Your Treatments Treatment Area Light therapy is most effective when the Treatment Array is placed firmly over the dermis and directly over the focal point of the painful area. Identify the focus of the pain in the area being treated and apply the Array over that particular area.

Stage There are 3 pre-programmed stages for each of the 12 treatments available on the Controller Unit. Each stage is meant for different stages of the healing process. Stage 1 provides the best results for most cases and should be used for as long as possible. Using stage 2 is only advisable if there is no improvement after 5-10 full treatments.
