The Hooga HG300 is a high-power red and near-infrared light therapy device designed to enhance cellular health and function through photobiomodulation (PBM). This device utilizes specific wavelengths of natural light, 660 nanometers (red light) and 850 nanometers (near-infrared light), which are clinically proven to have significant effects on human biology. Unlike harmful UV rays, the HG300 delivers light without excess heat or negative effects, focusing on stimulating mitochondrial energy production within cells.
The primary function of the HG300 is to increase mitochondrial energy production, which are the "energy production plants" of the body's cells. The photons from the red and near-infrared light interact with a photoreceptor called cytochrome c oxidase, prompting mitochondria to use oxygen more efficiently and produce more ATP (cellular energy). When cells have more energy, they perform their functions better, leading to improved overall bodily function.
The benefits of using the HG300 are wide-ranging, supported by over 3,000 scientific studies and clinical trials. Users can expect benefits such as increased energy, enhanced fat loss, and improved muscle recovery. The device also helps in decreasing inflammation and joint pain, improving skin health and appearance, and increasing collagen production. Other reported benefits include improved mood and cognitive function, faster wound healing, better hormonal health, and enhanced sleep quality. These diverse benefits stem directly from the device's mechanism of action: increased cellular energy production.
Using the Hooga HG300 is designed to be simple and convenient, requiring only up to ten minutes per day. The device can be used on any part of the body. It comes equipped with a door mount that fits over most standard doors, along with an adjustable hanging kit. To use, simply hang the panel to the door mount using the kit, plug it into any electrical outlet, and stand in front of the panel. Users should maintain a distance of 4 to 12 inches from the panel, depending on their specific treatment goals. Once positioned, the red and/or near-infrared power switches can be turned on to begin the treatment. For optimal results and consistency, it is recommended to use a smartphone timer for the desired treatment duration. The manufacturer suggests that this treatment time can also be an opportunity for solitude, gratitude, or a short meditation.
While eye protection is not strictly required or necessary, it is recommended to avoid looking directly at the LEDs if it causes discomfort. However, eyes typically adjust to the light, and it becomes comfortable to open them during treatment. It's important to note that near-infrared (NIR) light is not visible to the naked human eye, so if the NIR LEDs appear not to be working, a very slight glow may be observed in dark conditions, confirming their operation.
The HG300 can be used by children under adult supervision, though it should never be used on infants. For children older than 12, the recommended adult treatment times can be followed. For children younger than 12, half of the adult dose is advised. Consistency is key to experiencing results, with many users noticing benefits like increased muscle recovery, pain relief, and wound healing relatively quickly. More systemic benefits, such as enhanced skin health, increased energy, improved hormonal health, and better sleep quality, typically manifest after 8-12 weeks of consistent daily use.
Before using the HG300, especially if sensitive to light or taking medications like Tetracycline, Digoxin, Retin A, or other photosensitizing drugs, consulting a healthcare provider is recommended. Pregnant individuals or those with suspicious or cancerous lesions, or who have recently had a steroid injection or use topical steroids, should also consult their healthcare provider. If any discomfort or concerns arise during use, discontinue immediately and contact a healthcare provider. During treatment sessions, clothing can be worn, but the area being treated must be completely exposed to the light.
Maintenance of the Hooga HG300 is straightforward, requiring only basic care and regular cleaning. To clean the device, it should first be unplugged, and its surface wiped with a damp cloth or paper toweling. Harsh cleaning chemicals or bleach should be avoided as they may damage the device. It is crucial to ensure the HG300 is completely dry before subsequent use. For safety, the device is intended for indoor use only.
To ensure the longevity and functionality of the HG300, it should always be stored in a cool, dry place when not in use. Several safety instructions and warnings must be adhered to: children should not use the device without adult supervision, and it should never be used on infants or by sleeping, disabled, or unconscious persons. Treatment sessions should not exceed 20 minutes. The device should not be used on open, fresh wounds or in combination with liniments, salves, ointments, or balms that produce heat, as this could result in skin burns. Users should never attempt to modify or repair the equipment, as there are no user-serviceable parts.
As an electrical device, precautions against electric shock are vital. Electrical parts should not be washed with water or other liquids, and the device should never be dropped into or exposed to running water. If contact with water occurs, it must be immediately unplugged. If used near water, an electrical outlet protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter is recommended. Users should avoid directly touching the device, plugs, or switches with wet hands, and should not apply or touch the device to wet or damp skin. The device should not be pulled, carried, or lifted by its cord, and if the cord is damaged, the device should not be used. It should also be kept away from heated surfaces and not operated in areas with flammable or combustible products or vapors to prevent fire or explosion. Storing the device in temperatures exceeding 140 degrees Fahrenheit should be avoided.
If the device is damaged, it should not be used, as continuous use of a damaged device may lead to electric shock or injury. Extension cords should only be used if they are designed to carry the total wattage of the device. When unplugging, grasp the plug itself, not the cord. Finally, the cooling fans should not be covered while the device is in operation.
