General starting points (always check your device's manual, since irradiance varies a lot):

Distance: commonly ~6–12 inches for panels — closer means a stronger dose. Time: roughly 10 minutes per area. Frequency: several times a week, consistently. And note the biphasic effect — more isn't better; there's a sweet spot, and overdoing it can backfire.

Eyes: red light doesn't use UV, but bright panels can be uncomfortable or hard on the eyes, especially for face sessions — use the goggles that came with your device and don't stare into it. What's your device and routine?
