NIR Protocol
NIR Application Protocol
Phase-Based Application
| Phase | Wavelength | Fluence | Duration | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acute | 660nm | 4-6 J/cm² | 8-12 min | 2x/day |
| Subacute | 850nm | 8-10 J/cm² | 12-15 min | 1-2x/day |
| Chronic | 660+850nm | 6-10 J/cm² | 10-15 min | 3-5x/week |
Steps: ① Cleanse, remove jewelry → ② Set wavelength/time → ③ Maintain contact to 3cm → ④ Post-care: moisturize, hydrate. Fluence = power density (mW/cm²) × time (sec) ÷ 1000. Read more: nir led senior arthritis daily
