How often should I use my Vielight devices?

Suggested Usage Pattern for Neuro Duo (Healthy Brain):
-
Alpha: 3 times per week (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri)
-
Gamma: Once per week (e.g., Sat or Sun)
→ Total: 4 sessions per week

Can I use two devices in each nostril at the same time?
Yes, you can. For example, you may use the Vielight 633 or 655 in one nostril and the Vielight 810 in the other simultaneously. These wavelengths target different systems and do not interfere with each other.
A research department at the U.S. Veterans Affairs uses this method in clinical settings. (Link to reference)
Does it matter which nostril I use?
Not at all. Either nostril can be used.
However, if you have sinus or eye-related issues, we suggest alternating nostrils occasionally to stimulate both sinuses, optic nerves, and eyes.
Can children use Vielight devices?
Yes, children can use the devices, but we recommend starting with shorter sessions (5–10 minutes) and gradually increasing time as tolerated.
If headaches or discomfort occur, reduce the session time.
Can I share a device with someone else?
Yes, sharing is possible. However, it is strongly recommended to disinfect the intranasal applicator between uses with an alcohol swab.
Alternatively, separate nose applicators can be purchased for personal hygiene.
