The Luminous Protocol is your personal red light routine: built from your answers, set up for the device you own, and drawing on a library of 9,400+ photobiomodulation studies. Most people who start with red light apply the same session to everything: same duration, same distance, every day, whatever they want to achieve. One guide written for everyone can’t know your goals, your day or your topics. The Luminous Protocol is built to close that gap. Here’s how it works.
Step 1: Choose how closely we guide you
The Luminous Protocol™ comes in two versions. Both start with the same personal recommendation for every topic you choose. The difference is what happens afterwards.
Luminous Protocol™
Your Theme Check, your personal web page with a routine for every topic you choose, set up for your device, a €25 Biogena voucher (orders from €75), and supplement and lifestyle recommendations. Set once, from your answers.
Luminous Protocol™ Guided
Everything in the Protocol, plus 12 months of guidance. We revisit your routine at months 3, 6, 9 and 12, so it keeps pace with your progress, your goals and the seasons.
There are no topic limits in either version: skin, sleep, energy, recovery, calm or focus. Combine as many as you like.
Step 2: Answer the Theme Check
After checkout, your Theme Check arrives by email. It takes a few minutes on your phone and captures what your routine needs:
Your day: when you have time, how active you are, and how long you have used red light so far.
Your skin: type and sensitivity, which affect distance and session length.
Your topics: what you want your routine to support, for example sleep, energy, recovery or skin.
We also ask about medication, pregnancy and skin sensitivity, so we can tell you when to check with your doctor first. Every answer shapes what you receive.
Step 3: From the research to your routine
Our science team in Austria built the logic behind the Protocol on a library of 9,400+ photobiomodulation studies. Your answers are matched against it to set your routine:
- Which light mode fits each of your topics
- How far from the device, and for how long
- When in your day, and how often each week
- One plan across all your topics, so it fits into your day
It is a wellness recommendation, not a medical assessment.
Step 4: Set up for your device
Every Luminous Labs device works differently: coverage, light modes and how you use it. A routine for the Kini on your wrist is not the same as one for a Pro Series 2.0 in your living room.
Your Protocol is set up for the device you own: Kini, Essential, the Kini × Essential bundle or Pro Series 2.0.
What you receive
Within 2 days of your Theme Check, your own web page is ready. We send you the link by email. It shows, for every topic you chose:
- Which areas, how long, how often and how far from the device
- Why your routine looks the way it does
- Your supplement and lifestyle recommendations, plus your €25 Biogena voucher
With Guided, a reminder email arrives before every check-in, and your page always shows your latest routine.

Frequently asked questions
What makes the Protocol different from a standard red light routine? A standard routine is one guide for everyone, usually 10–20 minutes a day with no difference between goals, skin or devices. Your Protocol starts from your answers and is set up for the device you own.
How long does the Theme Check take? A few minutes, on your phone.
Which devices does it work with? Kini, Essential, the Kini × Essential bundle and Pro Series 2.0.
Is it a one-time purchase? Yes. The Protocol is one payment. Guided is one payment for 12 months of guidance.
Is the Protocol included with my device? From 11 November 2026 to 31 January 2027, every Kini, Essential and bundle comes with the Protocol, and every Pro Series 2.0 comes with Guided. Outside that window, you can add the Protocol or Guided to any device order.
I already have a Light, Core or Master Protocol. What now? Your plan stays valid. As a Protocol customer you get 80% off the new Protocol or Guided: write to us and we send you your code.
