Q: What is the irradiance?
A: IMPT operates at 42.6mw/cm2. Continuous Wave operates at 26mw/cm2. Both deliver a final dose of 9 Joules/cm2 over 6 minute treatment.
Q: Why are the near infrared lights not working? I can’t see them
A: Near infrared is outside of the visible spectrum and not visible to the naked eye. However, there is a very slight glow that comes from the LEDs, particularly in dark conditions. Please rest assured that they are working!
Q: What is the ideal treatment time and frequency of use?
A: The recommended treatment time is 6 minutes with pulsed light (or 9 minutes continuous wave), 3-5 times per week.
Q: Should I wear eye protection
A: Whilst red and near infrared light can be beneficial for eye health, the light intensity for beneficial effects has not been clearly determined. Optional eye diffusers are available to purchase for your comfort. Please be assured that as the light (or pulse) is not directed into the retina when using your LED mask, goggles are not necessary.
Q: When can I expect results?
A: Results vary depending on your treatment goals, skin condition, chronology and consistency of use. Results may be seen as early as four week, and are generally more evident after three months. We encourage you to record your progress by taking before and after images.
Q: Does LED Light Therapy interfere with medications?
A: Red and near infrared light has been proven in clinical studies and peer reviewed clinical trials to be safe and effective. However, if you use photosensitising medication, we recommend consulting with your health care provider before using this device.
Q: Can I overdo my LED light therapy?
A: Whilst LED light therapy is safe, we recommend that you stick within the recommended treatment times. LED elicits a biological response for health benefits. The bi-phasic dose response means that prolonged exposure, in a single session, can start to inhibit the beneficial impact. Whilst pulsed LED light extends the bi-phasic dose response, it is also more effective so treatment times can be reduced.
