Most people see steady results with 10–20 minute red light sessions, 3–5 times a week for 4–8 weeks, then 1–3 times weekly to maintain.

Use red light therapy for sleep for 20–30 minutes in the evening, most nights, keeping other lights dim and screens off during the last hour.

For pain, red light therapy usually works best at 2–8 J/cm² per area, 3–5 sessions weekly for 3–6 weeks, then taper as symptoms improve.

In the U.S., sinus surgery typically ranges from about $3,000 to $25,000, depending on procedure type, setting, and insurance.

Skin removal surgery in the United States often totals $8,000–$30,000+, depending on area, time in the OR, and whether insurance covers any part.

Start light walks the day of hernia surgery; build from 5–10 minutes every few hours to 30–60 minutes daily by week 2, as pain allows.
