Super Max Red Light Therapy Device User Manual
Welcome
The Super Max Red Light Therapy Device delivers high-powered and focused red light at 660nm (visible red light) and near-infrared light at 850nm (invisible light). The device can operate these wavelengths separately or together, depending on user preference.
For optimal results, the light emitted by the Super Max Red Light Therapy Device should be shone onto bare skin.
Intended Use
This device is a wellness device aimed at improving the appearance of skin and providing general wellness benefits for the user.
Key Points
Activating Your Device
For the best possible results, it is highly recommended to read this manual prior to using the Super Max Red Light Therapy Device for the first time.
Photosensitivity Test
It is very important to perform a photosensitivity test prior to long sessions. Turn on both the Red and NIR switches on the device and shine the light on an exposed part of your forearm, about 3 inches to 1 foot away, for 4 minutes. If you experience any discomfort or redness on your skin, you must not use the device until you have sought professional advice from your doctor or healthcare provider.
Usage Instructions
The Super Max Red Light Therapy Device should be positioned between 3 inches to 1 foot away from the body when activating either red or near-infrared options. The device delivers over 162 mw/cm² of energy at this distance, ensuring an optimal session. The recommended session time at this power level is ten minutes.
Multiple Usages
Light therapy works best when administered consistently. The best results are typically seen from daily use, but a minimum of 4 times a week is recommended. If suffering from a major injury, long-term aches and pains, or severe skin conditions, utilizing the device up to three times per day can be beneficial.
What to Expect
The time it takes to see results depends on personal goals. Numerous peer-reviewed academic studies demonstrate the long-term benefits of red-light therapy. Most users will feel and see benefits within a week of consistent use, while others may take up to 3 months. Daily use optimizes these benefits.

How should I use my Super Max Red Light Therapy Device?
BON CHARGE highly recommends using the device for ten-minute sessions, positioned about 3 inches to 1 foot away from the target area.
Do I need to wear eye protection?
Protective goggles have been supplied for your protection. It is recommended to wear 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 Super Max Red Light Therapy Device with clothes on?
You can use the device with clothes on, but results cannot be guaranteed. The most optimal results are achieved when bare skin absorbs the light from the device in the specifically chosen target area.
Will the light from the Super 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 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 Super Max Red Light Therapy Device.
Can my children use the Super Max Red Light Therapy Device?
