Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation (PBM), is a non-invasive treatment modality that utilizes specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular function. These wavelengths, typically in the range of 600 to 850 nanometers, penetrate the skin to a depth of approximately 5 millimeters, where they are absorbed by mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles within cells. Once absorbed, red and near-infrared light initiate a series of photochemical reactions that increase cellular energy production, promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and modulate oxidative stress. This therapeutic approach has garnered significant attention for its diverse applications in dermatology, pain management, wound healing, and overall wellness.

How do I clean my Kivo?
Cleaning your Kivo is fairly simple, but these are electrical devices, so particular caution should be applied when you clean. For Kivo PanelsThe front panel is made of acrylic, we recommend using a laptop / screen spray, and a soft microfibre cloth that is free from any dust or contaminants. As with any electrical device, do not spray directly onto the panel, but spray onto the cloth first and then the front of the panel. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaner, as these will invalidate the warranty concerning the area applied. For the surround, or the rear, our Vital Panels are constructed using durable heavy weight steel, our Elite Panels are constructed using an Aluminum Alloy - and only required a damp cloth & detergent such as Dawn.Do not get any liquid in any of the passive cooling holes, or any part of the electronics, sockets, or control panel - as this may be dangerous and invalidates the warranty. For Kivo masks & neck panelsOur LED masks & necks are constructing using durable food safe silicone, with a soft plastic protector. We recommend using a slightly damp cloth to clean both sides of the mask. For stubborn stains or marks, we recommend a tiny amount of Dawn dish soap applied with a damp cloth. Never submerge in any liquid. For Kivo torchesThese are durable electronic devices, but never submerge them in liquid - a damp cloth with a tiny amount of Dawn will work to clean.

The cost of electricity various in state by state and province. As a GENERAL guide: Small 300 panels are 78-91 watts in power - in British Columbia, this works out around 40 cents a month, if it's used an hour a day, every day. Medium 1000 panels are approx 270 watts in power - in British Columbia, this works out around $1.05 a month, if it's used an hour a day, every day. Larger 1500 panels are approx 400w - in British Columbia that would cost $1.80 a month, if it's used an hour a day, every day.
