The Kala devices are high power and high quality. In most cases, lower doses from a further distance will deliver the best overall results.
We suggest removing clothing and apply the light directly to the desired areas. Example – If you have back pain, remove your shirt and direct the light towards your back.
The NIR lights on your device are invisible to the human eye – please know that they are so rest assured all your lights are functioning and working properly even if you do not see them “light up”.
Goggles/glasses are not needed for your Kala Mini. However, we do suggest that you do not look directly into the light, especially if you experience sensitivity to light or are on medications. The Kala Elite and Kala Pro come with goggles which can be used during treatments, specifically when NIR is on.
General Recommendations for RED/NIR Light Therapy:
- When first starting out, we suggest using the lowest doses of range.
- The Kala Red Lights are high power lights that deliver effective doses even when moved further away from your body. This allows you to treat much larger areas’s of the body at once compared to other lights.
- The ideal frequency is likely between 3x-7x/week (i.e. up to once per day)
- For any sensitive areas, be conservative and start slow.
For any surface skin issues, optimal treatment times are:
- 30 seconds-2.5 minutes per area (when the light is 6″ inches away)
- 1-3.5 minutes per area (when the light is 12″ inches away)
- 1.5-5 minutes per area (when the light is 18″ away)
- 2-7 minutes per area (when the light is 24″ inches away
- 3-14 minutes per area (when the light is 36″ inches away)
When focusing on the skin, Kala suggests using it a little further away – from between 12″ to 36″ away from your body.
Note, having it further away from the body allows you to treat much larger areas of your body at once. In most cases this will bring the best results.
For deeper issues (e.g. muscle, bone, brain, organs, glands, fat, etc.), optimal treatment times are:
- 2-7 minutes per area (when the light is 6″ inches away)
- 5-10 minutes per area (when if the light is 12″ inches away)
Body Position:
What is the best position should when using your Kala device?
There is really no right or wrong answer. You can sit, stand or lay down. We suggest finding the most comfortable position for you to treat the desired targeted area of your body. You may find different positions work better than others, depending on what part of your body you’re treating.
The Kala Pro and Elite come with a door hanging kit which is very useful and used by many customers. If you choose to use the door hanging kit, then you’ll be standing (or sitting in a chair) next to the device.

KALA THERAPY LAMP
For optimal results, use your Kala Lamp for 30 minutes – 2 hours within the first couple hours of waking up. Place your Kala Lamp 6-24″ (inches) from your face. Best results can be seen when used in a dark setting (lights off).
It’s common to see improvement in your energy, concentration, and mood within a few days if used for at least 30 minutes every morning.
How to Use:
Please do not look directly into the light. We recommend placing the lamp about 2 or 3 feet away while you read, eat, work or do other activities. The lamp works great for your zoom meetings. Let the light hit your skin and be absorbed directly into it.
1. Plug the Lamp into a power outlet
2. Gently touch the middle button to turn it on. Hold the power button to adjust the brightness.
3. Select the button on the left side to change the colour temperature.
4. Gently touch the button on the right side. The lamp will flash which confirms a timer has been set. The lamp will turn off after 1 hour. Touch again, the lamp will flash twice to show that the timer has been cleared.
