Thousands of studies over the past 40 years, spear headed by NASA, documents that light therapy is all-natural and safe to use. It provides a cascade of benefits that stimulate the healing process.

A 2015 medical publication by Dr. Howard B. Cotler entitled “A NASA Discovery Has Current Applications in Orthopedics” documents that Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been actively used for nearly 40 years, during which time it has been known to reduce pain, inflammation, and edema. It also has the ability to promote healing of wounds, including deep tissues and nerves, and prevent tissue damage through cell death. Much of the landmark research was done by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

The application of light therapy with the use of NASA LED’s will significantly improve the medical care that is available to astronauts on long-term space missions. NASA LED’s stimulate the basic energy processes in the mitochondria (energy compartments) of each cell, particularly when near-infrared light is used to activate the color sensitive chemicals (chromophores, cytochrome systems).

• PhotoBioModulation efficacy is supported by years of scientific research and studies and these studies are not specific to OnLux, they show the power behind the technology behind our products.

General PhotoBioModulation Studies

• In this study, Phototherapy improved nerve regeneration and increased antioxidation levels in the chamber fluid leading to nerve regeneration.

HOW IS THE CONTROLLER UNIT CHARGED AND LONG WILL IT LAST?

Below is an overview of how to use OnLux products:

• Charging the battery is simple. Please insert the USB-C cable into the wall charger that came with your OnLux order. Now place the wall charger into your electrical outlet. Now connect the controller/battery into a USB-C cable cord. You will see a blinking orange light to show it’s charging.
• Once it is fully charged, the light will turn solid orange.
• You can get 3 full 15-minute sessions before the battery needs to be recharged.
• When turning on your OnLux device, simply attach/snap the controller/battery onto the wrap you purchased and press the “start/power-on” button. At this point you will see the lights turn on and you should hear one “beep sound”.
• When the 15-minute session is complete, the device will beep 3 times and then turn off by itself. At this time you can remove the device.

HOW CAN I HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF SUCCESS?

• We suggest application of one 15-minute session per day. Use it 5 to 7 days per week when dealing with discomfort/pain. If there is no discomfort/pain, you can use it for physical maintenance as often or as little as you deem appropriate. You know your body best.
• If you are dealing with more significant pain or any type of wound care management, we suggest using it 2-3 times per day with at least 2 hours in between each session. Once your condition has improved, use the device on an as needed basis.
• OnLux can be used with clothing on, but only if you are wearing thin clothing. However, for optimal results we recommend placing wraps directly on skin.

ARE THERE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THE ONLUX PBM THERAPY SHOULD NOT BE USED?

• Yes. Do not place OnLux over a cardiac pacemaker or use during pregnancy. Please refer to the product manual.

CAN THERE BE ANY PERMANENT SIDE EFFECTS?

• There are no known permanent side effects caused from using OnLux.
