FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How should I use my Demi Red Light Therapy Device?
We highly recommend using your Demi Red Light Therapy Device for ten minute sessions about 3 inches to 1 foot away from your target area.
Do I need to wear eye protection?
Protective goggles have been supplied for your protection. We recommend wearing these when using your red light Device. We do not recommend looking directly into the LED lights.
Why does it appear that the Near Infrared lights aren't working?
Near Infrared light is an invisible frequency of light which our eyes cannot detect. You can tell if these lights are working as we have added a dim light in the LED bulbs to show they are functioning.
What is the difference between red and near infrared light?
Red light is visible light that is best used to improve the skin. Near Infrared light is invisible and penetrates deeper into the muscle tissue making it best for muscle recovery.
Can I use my Demi Red Light Therapy Device with clothes on?
You can use your Demi Red Light Therapy Device with your clothes on but we cannot guarantee results. The most optimal results are achieved through having your bare skin absorbing the light from Demi Red Light Therapy Device, in the specifically chosen target area.
Will the light from the Demi Red Light Therapy Device disrupt any medication I am taking?
If you are taking any photosensitizing medication ensure you seek medical advice before using the Demi Red Light Therapy Device. Such medications include Tetracycline, Digoxin and Retin A. Thousands of clinical trials have shown light therapy to be safe and effective, however it is always recommended to consult your health care provider or doctor before using the Demi Red Light Therapy Device.
Can my children use the Demi Red Light Therapy Device?
Peer reviewed clinical trials have shown red light therapy to be safe and beneficial. However, if you would like your children to experience red light therapy we always recommend consulting with your healthcare professional first.
When can I expect to see results?
After just a few sessions you may experience reduced swelling, stiffness and clearer skin. After one session you may feel a nice warmth around the area you have used your Demi Red Light Therapy Device on. Consistent use over time will get the best results and give the best outcome for muscle or joint related issues.
