Bryan Johnson’s Red Light Therapy Protocol

Wondering if red light therapy lives up to the hype? Research suggests it might be worth it as it has shown to have multiple benefits such as improved mitochondrial function, reduced inflammation, and supported collagen production. Here’s a look at Bryan Johnson’s protocol to help you find the right product and dosing:

Full Body Therapy

• Device: Bryan Johnson recommends using an LED panel emiting light at wavelengths of 630 nm and 830 nm. Hooga’s full body red light panel is a device that satisfies these requirements and offers more comprehensive benefits compared to smaller, portable panels. However, smaller panels such as Hooga’s face and body panel are a great place for those who are new to red light therapy to start.
• Usage Frequency: Unlike some manufacturers recommendations that suggest daily use, Bryan Johnson suggests doing red light therapy three times a week, for 12 minutes per session.
• Benefits: Bryan Johnson has reported increased energy levels, better skin, and improved mental clarity.

Targeted Therapy

• Device: Bryan Johnson uses a wearable device called FlexBeam for targeted healing of body parts.
• Usage Frequency: Manufacturer’s recommendation suggests using FlexBeam twice a day for the first three days. After that, use it for 20 minutes every day until the symptoms are resolved.
• Benefits: Bryan Johnson uses targeted red light therapy for healing of his vein after blood tests and for other minor injuries.

Hair Treatment

• Device: Bryan Johnson uses a cap called Capillus for helping improve hair growth.
• Usage Frequency: Manufacturer’s recommendation suggests using Capillus for 6 minutes everyday.
• Benefits: Bryan Johnson uses the red light therapy cap to increase hair growth, which works by upregulating cellular energy production in the hair follicles.
