Frequently Asked Questions
How should I use my Max Red Light Therapy Device?
BON CHARGE highly recommends using your Max 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. BON CHARGE recommends wearing these when using the red light Device. Looking directly into the LED lights is not recommended.
Why does it appear that the Near Infrared lights aren't working?
Near Infrared light is an invisible frequency of light that our eyes cannot detect. You can tell if these lights are working as a dim light has been added to 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 Max Red Light Therapy Device with clothes on?
You can use your Max Red Light Therapy Device with your clothes on, but BON CHARGE cannot guarantee results. The most optimal results are achieved by having your bare skin absorb the light from the Max Red Light Therapy Device in the specifically chosen target area.
Will the light from the Max 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 Max 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 healthcare provider or doctor before using the Max Red Light Therapy Device.
Can my children use the Max 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, BON CHARGE always recommends 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 where you have used your Max Red Light Therapy Device. Consistent use over time will yield the best results and provide the best outcome for muscle or joint-related issues.
