How Often And How Long Should I Use The StarLite-LM DPL system?
The StarLite-LM DPL treatment protocol is comprised of 8 separate 20 minute sessions on different days over a 4-week period of time. This involves alternating between Infrared and Red Light treatment on each of the recommended days. For example, day 1 of week 1 calls for an Infrared treatment of 20 minutes, day 3 of week 1 calls for a Red light treatment of 20 minutes, etc. The device features the convenience of an audible timer which will beep upon completion of each treatment session.
How Quickly Will I See Results From The StarLite-LM DPL system?
Most people typically feel and see a difference in about 3 to 7 weeks after the treatment schedule is complete. There is no need to use this product indefinitely as with other low power products. When following the StarLite-LM scheduled protocol as recommended, you may see some positive effects during the 4 week treatment period as well. Following StarLite-LM's clinically based treatment protocol/schedule closely is important because the light delivered is timed for ideal bio-stimulation of cells (collagen) and it is cumulative - meaning the benefits add up!
How Long Will It Take To See Results?
Everyone’s skin varies, but most people feel and see a difference in about four treatments. Because of differences in damaged skin, some people will see the benefits almost immediately and others will need more treatments. Typically within a few uses, people feel a tingling in their skin, a slight warmth and a tightening of their skin. Then users start seeing the fine lines and wrinkles start to disappear as their skin plumps up. Because treatments are progressive, we recommend treatments for at least ten (10) weeks, for best results. For the treatment of pain, depending on the pain level and application, the user may feel relief immediately or after a few treatments. Deeper pain symptoms may require several DPL treatments before seeing / feeling results.
Can The StarLite-LM Damage My Eyes During Use?
No studies have been found to show any harmful effects to the eyes when using red infrared therapy. It is recommended that the eyes are closed while using the system at all times. Never look directly at the lights when the system is turned on. Some clients prefer to purchase protective eyewear simply for comfort during treatment.

How Long Does A Battery Charge Last?
Two hours minimum of continuous usage at room temperature. Thus, several treatment cycles can be accomplished per charge. It is best to use the device at a full charge and to keep the unit charged between treatments so the "charge needed" indicator does not come on in the middle of a treatment. In the event the “charge needed” indicator does come on during treatment, the device can be used until that treatment is completed.
Will StarLite-LM DPL Therapy Hurt?
No. Unlike lasers or other ablative (skin harming) treatments, DPL therapy is non-thermal and non-invasive. In a typical application, you may notice a slight reddening of the skin over the treated area which should fade gradually within 2 hours.
