Customer Ratings & Reviews

So, I’ve never used a red light device before but I always wanted to try one out. This unit is really nice but is a bit bigger than I expected. Its both a pro and a con. It means it is a bit harder to maneuver and line up with your body because you can’t just place it anywhere or just hold it very easily. On the other hand if you want it to try and cover a larger area it does a way better job. It does warn you that if you’ve never done one before that you should test it out on the inside of your arm first to see if you have a reaction. I’m guessing that’s a place that doesn’t get much light from anything so will show a reaction easier, but is also in a less sensitive spot in case there is a reaction. I didn’t have any reaction so I know I’m good to keep using it, but I also don’t really know what a bad reaction would look like. I tried it mostly on my knees as I have a bit of knee pain to see if it would help. The manual has a set of recommendations based on what you are using it for on how long to use it and how far from your body the light should be. I’ve used it for a while now and I haven’t actually noticed any difference. I’m not sure if its a matter of red light treatments not being effective, I haven’t used it long enough or if maybe I don’t respond well to it. I’m going to keep using it for a while to see how it works, but this is the kind of thing that typically doesn’t have an immediate reaction so it may be a while (a number of weeks) before I know for sure if it works or not.

I’ve been seeing the same Chiropractor for the last twenty years because I have two bad habits for the spine: I’m always hunched over computers all day and I run for fun. I do not suffer from chronic pain, but I find my monthly full body adjustments improve all aspects of how I feel. My chiropractor introduced red light therapy into his practice several years back as a method to target parts of the body that don’t do well to what I would describe as cracking and popping; areas like kneecaps, inner bones of the shin. Last year I started using a massage gun on a daily basis that includes infrared LED therapy. I’m not convinced if this whole LED/laser/redlight thing is a gimmick or pseudo-science or wishful thinking or if there is an actual medical benefit to it. In my case the use of red light is tied to other tangible treatments; in other words I can feel how amazing the massage gun is when it’s percussing my sore muscles, or after my chiropractor adjusts my neck I feel the muscles relax and the tension is gone, so I don’t know if the red light is doing anything good or bad in the equation, it’s just there. The Bioheal is the first device I’ve tried that is exclusively using only red light. I’m curious if I’ll notice anything different. On page 16 of the 27 pages of the instructions that come with this device include twelve groups of people who should not be using this device. I feel like that information really should be on the outside of the product packaging so you know BEFORE you buy the device if you are not supposed to be using it. Pregnant? Don’t use. Breast implants? Tattoos? It’s not exactly clear if you should simply not treat those parts of your body or if you should not use at all offering only “consult your physician before using” followed in the Disclaimer section that this is not a medical device and there’s no certified or regulatory authority or medical institute that can back up the health benefits that are described as the result of using this product. Page 14 lists some treatment guidelines and this is where things felt a little weird to me. Most of the treatment involves placing the part of your body you want treated 4 inches from the device and staying in that position for 10-15 minutes, repeating this daily at 6-hour intervals several times a week. Oh and you need to be naked: the treatment doesn’t work if the skin is not exposed. I mean you don’t need to be fully naked to treat your hands for arthritis pain but one of the treatments is to boost testosterone so you know… naked. Personally I was most interested in weight loss. To achieve the proper placement of the device for these 10 minute sessions the Bioheal comes with a hanging pulley system and a door hook. This pulley system and hook are easy to connect but the unit kind of hangs awkwardly on the door mainly because of the weight imbalance caused by where the power cord is connected to the unit. I feel like if they power cord were relocated to the side of the unit it would allow for a more stable hanging position. You also need access to power to plug the unit in. If you have ever put your children in timeout where you make them stand in the corner of a room facing the wall than you can visualize how you use this product, except that you are naked. My advice is to over communicate with anyone living with you that you need some private time before using this device or you can be like me and have your unsuspecting wife walk into the bathroom while your pants are around your ankles. Fun times. I have not had the device long enough to know if it’s doing anything other than consuming 10 minutes of my day but I do find a great deal of humor standing in the bathroom naked with sunglasses on for each session. I’ve decided my primary use case is to try and get rid of about 10 pounds of belly fat that just won’t go away. But if putting myself in timeout is going to get rid of this belly fat, than I’m all in.

Right out of the gates I was extremely skeptical , but being someone who is never afraid to try something new, I gave the Lifepro Red Light Therapy panel a shot. Who knows, maybe I'd benefit from it? My wife and I both are starting to get up there in the years, both suffering from varies aches/pains, both due to life experiences and due to "self inflicted" workouts. We both have issues with different areas of legs so we tested there. Mine's the knees, hers is the upper thigh. We both had similar experiences - it was a deep warmth. Very similar to being on the opposite side of a dark tinted window that the sun is beaming directly through. You can feel the warmth but not enough to burn or cause discomfort. We look forward to working with this further - the feeling is hard to describe but it's so soothing and relaxing. I must say that the customer service from this company is amazing. The first unit that was shipped to me had a very bad dent in the package and upon opening found it damaged beyond repair. I sent photos of the unopened box showing the damage as well as the damaged unit that was removed from the box - the company promptly shipping me a replacement unit. I must say that I was impressed with the power of red light - I never would have thought it would work as well as it does. We look forward to using it much much more in the near future!

The Bioheal Red light Therapy Panel arrived well packaged and everything needed to set it up and use it was present. The manual is about 24 pages and covers how to install the hanging devices, the suggested usage frequency, and some conditions for which the device may be used. Eye wear is included and I close my lids as well. In my case, I didn’t want to make a permanent mount so I used the door hanger and included cabling. The electrical/power cord is about 9 feet long and so I was able to find a door near an outlet easily. From there, the controls straight forward – just three buttons and the feedback is through a display and two status LEDs. I used the unit twice a day for 5 – 10 minutes at a time for the past fourteen days and while I don’t have lab evidence that it is ‘doing it’s job’ I seem to feel better and the specific reasons I use it for seem to be improving. Setting the angle and maintaining the suggested distances required for the various therapy uses took a bit of planning, but after a few days it was already a habit. Storage is simple, especially with the door hanger and setup it a matter of a minute or two. Time will tell, but I am satisfied with the product, ease of use and the results I feel that I have achieved in the past few weeks.
