FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How long should I use the HG300 for?
A: It depends completely upon the area being
treated and the distance of treatment. For
information on dosing, please see the previous
page titled Dosing. In general, all that is usually
needed is ten minutes or less.
Q: Should I wear eye protection?
Eye protection is not required or necessary.
However, we don't recommend looking directly
at the LEDs because it can sometimes be un-
comfortable. With that said, your eyes typically
become accustomed to the light and it is then
OK to open your eyes, as long as you aren't
feeling discomfort.
Q: Why aren't the infrared LEDs working?
I can't see them.
Near infrared (NIR) light is actually not visible
to the naked human eye. It is outside of the
visual spectrum, and as a result, it cannot
be seen. However, there is a very slight glow
that comes from the LEDs, especially in dark
conditions, so if you are concerned the NIR
LEDs are really not working, you can test them
that way.
Q: Can children use the HG300?
Yes, children can use the HG300 under adult
supervision. Never use the HG300 on infants,
though. If a child is older than 12 years old, they
may follow the previously referenced treatment
times. If a child is younger than 12 years old,
10
they should opt for half the dose that would be
recommended for adults.
Q: When can I expect results?
Results vary depending on goals and treatment
consistency. With that being said, many people
will experience benefits such as increased
muscle recovery, relief of pain and increased
wound healing relatively quickly. However,
more systemic benefits such as enhanced skin
health, increased energy, improved hormonal
health and increased quality of sleep may
take 8-12 weeks of consistent use. Using your
HG300 device every day will maximize the rate
of response and healing. It is very important to
be consistent with red light therapy.
Q: Does red light therapy interfere with the
medications?
A: Red and near infrared light therapy has
been proven in thousands of clinical studies
and peer reviewed clinical trials to be not only
safe but also effective. However, if you use
medications such as Tetracycline, Digoxin,
Retin A, and/or other photosensitizing drugs,
we recommend consulting with your doctor or
healthcare provider before using the Hooga
HG300.
Q: Can I wear clothing during my treatment
sessions?
A: Of course, just make sure that the area that
you're treating is completely exposed.
