FAQ

Q.How long will I have to use an LED light before I see results? 
A. Some people see results in as little as a few days and others take a month or two to notice a change. Various physical conditions, age, skin condition, diet, alcohol consumption, prescription drug usage, smoking, exercise, and other factors influence the rate of improvement. The effects of LED light are often subtle at first, since unlike lasers, peels and other ablative treatments, LED light does not damage the skin to force it to regenerate. Your results will improve the longer you use the light; so though you should see improvement in 60 days, you should see a much more significant change after you’ve been using it for 3 months.

Q. How do infrared LED lights for home use compare to the Photo Rejuvenation light treatments done in spas and salons.
A. The concept and technology are the same. The difference is in cost and convenience. One photo rejuvenation treatment in a spa or salon typically costs $50-$100, and it’s usually recommended that you get a series of 5 to 10 treatments several times a year. With home-use photo rejuvenation lights you can enjoy unlimited treatments in the convenience of your own home for less than $300.

Q. Is infrared LED light safe for sensitive skin?
A. If you have very sensitive skin it might be a good idea to start with a shorter treatment time and work up to the full treatment. Also, be sure to start with clean skin… lotions could heat up and cause a problem. If there is any redness or discomfort after treatment, applying a damp cloth afterwards may help calm down your skin.

Q. Will infrared light help my rosacea?
A. We have seen rosacea patients who benefited from using the light, and there have been a few who found they could not use it. If you have rosacea I would recommend going slow at first to see how your skin reacts.

Q. Is photo rejuvenation safe?
A. YES! It has been proven in numerous studies that LED photo rejuvenation does not harm the human body in any way. The light waves are safe for any age, color, or skin type. The light energy delivered cannot burn sensitive skin tissue.

Q. Does LED light therapy hurt?
A. NO! Unlike many other anti-aging treatments, LED light therapy is gentle, painless, safe, noninvasive and nonabrasive. There have been no reports of adverse reactions.

Q. Is it safe to use an infrared LED light while pregnant?
A. I have been told by one manufacturer that it would be OK to use an infrared LED light on the head, neck, face, arms and legs during pregnancy, but as a precaution they recommend not using it around the abdomen. Nianshenglaser.com recommends consulting your physician prior to using the these machines.

Q. Will LED light therapy help with acne or blemishes?
A. Although the anti-aging photo rejuvenation lights were not designed specifically to handle acne and blemishes, the light waves stimulate the skin’s natural healing process which helps in the treatment of acne, pimples and blemishes.

Q. I’ve been looking for information on the LED light treatments that I’ve been receiving from my skin care specialist. Is there a significant difference between the benefits of blue and infrared/red light?
A. The choice of light depends on what you are trying to accomplish. BLUE light comforts and soothes skin, and has anti-sensitive functions. It is used clinically to treat acne, as it is absorbed by bacterial acne, resulting in a toxic environment for the bacteria. RED light stimulates and activates skin cells and promotes blood circulation. VISIBLE red light penetrates to a depth of about 8-10 mm, and is beneficial in treating problems close to the surface such as wounds, cuts, scars, trigger and acupuncture points, and is particularly effective in treating infections. INVISIBLE red light (infrared) is the longest wave length, and penetrates to a depth of about 30-40 mm, which makes it more effective for bones, joints, deep muscles, etc. Infrared light is absorbed by the skin and used as a source of energy to stimulate fibroblast cell activity in the skin, which increases the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for your skin’s tone and elasticity. Most infrared LED lights produce both red and infrared wavelengths, and are effective for rejuvenating aging skin as well as treating acne and blemishes. NOTE REGARDING BLUE LIGHT: Be sure the merchant supplies proper eye protection. And if you have a teenager using it for acne be sure he/she actually uses the eye protection!

Q I’ve been receiving red light therapy to firm my skin and reduce wrinkles and I’ve seen a slight improvement after many sessions, but not as much as I’d like. Will infrared work better?
A. It’s very likely you will see better results with infrared light. As explained in the last question, infrared light penetrates much deeper than red light, so it is able to reach the layer of skin where collagen and elastin are produced.

Q While doing research on the Web I read that yellow light is effective for skin rejuvenation. What are the benefits and results of infrared and red light therapy vs. yellow?
A. I am aware of some testing done comparing yellow light to red and infrared wavelengths. Without question, red and infrared were found to work better for skin rejuvenation, while yellow was found to be beneficial for puffiness.

Q Will infrared LED light help with hyper-pigmentation (age spots) or scarring?
A. YES, I have seen reports of hyper-pigmentation and scars fading over time from the use of these lights.

Q. Will infrared LED light help with dry skin?
A. YES, using infrared LED photo rejuvenation lights according to directions will help normalize dry skin.

Q. Will infrared LED light help with thinning hair? Will it help re-grow hair?
A. I have read reports of accelerated hair growth and stimulation of dormant hair follicles with the use of infrared LED light.

Q Can LED light treatment be used on someone who has been treated recently with Botox® injections?
A. I believe that although the light would cause no harm to the tissue, since it has a regenerative effect it might shorten the life of the paralyzing effect of Botox, so the person might want to avoid using the light around the injected areas until the Botox wears off.

Q. Will the Photo Rejuvenation System work for stretch marks and loose skin on the stomach?
A.: We have customers who are using the system on the stomach and for stretch marks, and I know that is it very helpful with scarrng … the age of the scar tissue will determine the time required to see results.  Also, when I was selling a different light (smaller and less powerful) I heard about a woman who used the light on a scar while she was laid up in bed for 10 days. She said the scar diminished a great deal during this time by treating it for 15 minutes a day.

Q. Will the Photo Rejuvenation System help with psoriasis?
A. The red and infrared light waves of the this System increase circulation and help put moisture back into the skin, which benefits those with psoriasis. One of our customers told us, “I’ve been using the light, per the instructions, and find the psoriasis spot I mentioned to you is almost healed.  The light is actually accelerating the healing process.  Normally it takes about a week or so to heal on its own.  It has been only 3 days.”

Q. Can this Therapy help with other types of problems?
A. In addition to skin rejuvenation, infrared and near-infrared (NIR) light often helps with the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain; arthritis and muscle spasms; relieving stiffness; promoting relaxation of muscle tissue; and temporarily increasing local blood circulation.

USES & BENEFITS OF INFRARED LED LIGHT THERAPY FOR PAIN AND HEALING
Q. What will I notice during and after treatment?
A. Different sensations are possible with use of the system. You may experience a sensation of warmth, relief of pain, a calming or soothing effect, and you may find you achieve a greater range of motion.

Q. When will I feel better or see positive results?
A. Factors such as age, sex, level of fitness and various physical conditions can affect how quickly the treatment helps. In cases where a condition has lasted for many years (chronic) it may take longer to notice a benefit.

Q. How often can I use the this System for pain and healing?
A. For pain relief, the maximum use of the system should be four 9 minute treatment sessions, with 12 hours separating the first two 9 minute treatments.

Q. How close to the skin should I hold the wand?
A. For best results the panels should be as close to the skin as possible, and they may be placed directly on the skin. Center the wands(s) over the main area of pain for maximum effectiveness.

Q. I have used my system for a couple of days; why am I still hurting?
A. Keep in mind that this system serves as therapy for minor discomfort; it is not a miracle drug or pain killer and is not intended to replace medication prescribed by your physician. Consult your physician if the pain persists or intensifies, as this may be a symptom of other conditions that need attention.

Q. Why doesn’t the system get hot?
A. This System isn’t designed to generate heat, but some people report that it gets warm or they feel warmth in their skin, and this is normal. When you follow the recommended usage guidelines, the LEDs should not get uncomfortably hot.

Q. I had a huge bruise on my leg so I tried my LED light on it, and it went away much more quickly than bruises typically do. I’m now using it on the bruises that my daughter gets on her legs from climbing on playground equipment. Does it make sense that the light works on bruises?
A. NASA research found that infrared LED light accelerates healing, so yes, it may help bruises heal faster.

Q.What if my machine arrives and it doesn’t include all the parts? 
A.It is always a good idea to take an inventory of your machine and its accessories as soon as you receive it to make sure you received a full complement of pieces. If you do not receive all of them, you will need to lay out all the pieces you did receive and take a picture, maybe two, that clearly show(s) all the pieces. You will need to send an email that details what is missing along with the picture of items received. Any missing items will be shipped to you at no charge.

Q.What kind of training will I receive when I purchase a machine? 
A.It is expected that customers purchasing professional machines are certified and qualified to use the machines they are purchasing. All machines come with user/operations manuals that usually provide step by step instructions on how to use the machine. Sometimes video links and/or DVDs can be provided but they will only show the machine in use, and they are not actually “training”. In the event you are not a professional but a home user, each of those devices comes with a set of easy to follow instructions. A customer support phone number will also be available for any customer services questions. +86 020 28915243

Q. Do I need gel with my machines?
1.Microcurrent ION sprays or facial gels are recommended for microcurrent procedures.
LED As rule of thumb, you should clean the affected skin with a non-abrasive skin cleanser designed to remove oils and sebum prior to the treatment but we do not recommend the application of any creams or supplements that may leave a reflective surface, prior to photo therapy.
2.Microdermabrasion Machines
No topical creams needed before treatment, a good anti-aging cream can be used after the treatment. If you have LED machine access the colors red and green have a calming and healing effect on the skin and would be recommended.
3.Radio Frequency Machines & Ultrasonic Cavitation
Yes you will want to use a medical grade cooling gel.
