A skin reaction (erythema - redness) typically appears 6–8 hours after exposure:
- No redness: increase exposure time by 20 seconds at the next session.
- Mild redness: if it clears within 24 hours, extend by 20 seconds at the next session.

- Marked redness: pause treatment until the skin returns to normal, then reduce the time by 20%.
- The typical exposure per spot is about 3–4 minutes, depending on skin type.
