We recommend using Kala devices directly on the skin for optimal results. For example, if addressing back pain, remove any clothing and position the light towards your back.
The near-infrared (NIR) lights on your device might seem inactive, but they're just invisible to the human eye. Rest assured, they're fully functional and delivering therapeutic benefits.
While the Kala Mini doesn't necessitate goggles, we advise against staring directly into the light, especially if you're sensitive to light or on specific medications. Both the Kala Elite and Kala Pro include goggles, which are especially useful when the NIR function is active.
Guidelines for Using Kala's Red/Near-Infrared Light Therapy:
• Kala Red Lights boast high-power illumination, ensuring effective treatment even from a distance. This advantage permits broader body coverage in one session compared to other lights.
• For optimal results, consider using the device between 3 to 7 times weekly (potentially daily).
• Begin with caution. Opt for the minimal dosage range during your initial sessions.
• When treating sensitive areas, always err on the side of lower dosing for safety and comfort.
For skin-related concerns, the recommended treatment durations are:
• For a distance of 6" from the body: Treat each area for 30 seconds to 2.5 minutes.
• For a distance of 12" from the body: Treat each area for 1 to 3.5 minutes.
• For a distance of 18" from the body: Treat each area for 1.5 to 5 minutes.
• For a distance of 24" from the body: Treat each area for 2 to 7 minutes.
• For a distance of 36" from the body: Treat each area for 3 to 14 minutes.
A key advantage of increasing the distance is the ability to treat expansive body areas in a single session, often yielding superior outcomes.
For deeper concerns, such as muscles, bones, brain function, organs, glands, and fat, the advised treatment durations are:
• For a distance of 6" from the body: Allocate 2 to 7 minutes per treatment area.
• For a distance of 12" from the body: Dedicate 5 to 10 minutes for each treatment zone.
Optimal Positioning for Your Kala Device Usage:
Whether you choose to sit, stand, or lie down, select the most comfortable position that effectively targets your desired treatment area.
The optimal position can vary based on the specific body part you're addressing.
Our Pro and Elite models include a door hanging kit. If utilizing this feature, you'll likely be standing or perhaps seated next to the device, a preference many of our users enjoy.

Kala Therapy Lamp
For the best outcomes, position your Kala Lamp 6-24" away from your face and use it for a duration of 30 minutes to 2 hours, ideally within the first two hours after waking. A dark environment (with lights off) enhances the effectiveness of the treatment.
Many users report noticeable improvements in mood, energy, and focus within just two to four days when the lamp is utilized for a minimum of 30 minutes each morning.
When using the Kala Lamp, refrain from staring directly into the illumination. Set the lamp approximately 2 or 3 feet away during activities such as reading, eating, or working. Ensure the light directly reaches and is absorbed by your skin.
2. Softly tap the power button to activate the device. Press and hold to modify brightness levels.
3. Choose the button on the right to adjust the colour temperature.
