Light therapy sessions can range from 20 minutes to 3 hours per day, depending on the individual and the specific treatment plan.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Typical Duration: The duration of light therapy varies based on factors such as the lux level (brightness) of the light, the individual's sensitivity to light, and the specific condition being treated.
-
Gradual Adjustment: Treatment might start with a shorter duration and lower lux level, gradually increasing over time as tolerated.
-
Frequency: A person might undergo light therapy once or multiple times a day, for consecutive days, until they experience improvement in their symptoms.
Therefore, while some sessions may only last 20 minutes, others could extend up to 3 hours to achieve the desired therapeutic effects. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate duration and frequency of light therapy for your specific needs.
