    Doctors recommend from 5-20 min.
    All doctors just told me 10 min. but after experiments/studies (took 3 months),
    what work for me are:

    13-15 min, 43-*45C
    in the morning moist heat (to remove debris etc) &
    before bed dry heat (only because it is easier)

    The tricks: constant heat, 45C and enough time.
    If you feel oil is flowing and feel great afterwards then it is correct.

    *45C
    The study by C. Blackie (partner of Dr D. Korb, inventor of LipiFlow) suggests that
    warm compresses are more effective when the temperature reaches 45°C (113°F) and are frequently reheated,
    so called, Bundle method

    I found this one is also useful, also mention 1) 45C, 2) reheat
