lifepro Light Therapy Nail Restoration Device User Manual

Clinicians and laboratories use light to sterilize equipment. The antimicrobial properties of laser diodes and 470 nm blue light can heal unsightly nail fungus by destroying fungal pathogens.

Anyone who wants to look and feel their best can experience the benefits of cold laser and photo therapy right from the comfort of their own home.

HELLO THERE.

Joel and I are athletes who suffered from severe ACL injuries a few months apart.

We purchased multiple pieces of wellness equipment for our in-home rehab but were left disappointed and frustrated by wellness and recovery devices that made big promises but gave no support, no wellthought-out plan to follow, and no results.

And that’s how Lifepro came about, and why the Wellness Recovery collection was created — we’ve set out to change all of that. It’s why every piece of equipment bearing our name not only undergoes rigorous scrutiny to make sure it delivers on power and efficacy, but comes with built-in support from our ‘guiding angels’ and a built-in lifetime warranty so that you’re never left hanging.

Welcome to Lifepro.
We’re in this together now.

LED phototherapy has a wide variety of applications and health benefits. Dental offices, laboratories, and nail salons use different wavelengths of light to sterilize equipment.

Podiatrists offer in-office laser treatments to treat fungal nail infections, but they can be costly and embarrassing. With the MicroRemedy Light Therapy Nail Restoration Device, you can rid your nails of unsightly fungus for good, in your own home.

Onychomycosis, or fungal infection of the nail, can change the appearance and texture of your nail, causing extensive flaking or discoloration. Severe cases can lead to bleeding, nail detachment, bacterial infection, and pain. The compact MicroRemedy emits 470 nm blue light to kill superficial fungus on contact and 905 nm infrared cold laser light that penetrates deeper, also destroying the infection with heat.

Use the MicroRemedy on infected toes or fingers daily for just seven minutes while sitting comfortably on the couch, watching TV, reading a book, or working at your desk. Restore the health and luster of your nails in as little as eight weeks.

Redefine wellness and beauty, and experience the healing power of the Lifepro MicroRemedy:

• Kill fungus: rid nails of germs with 470 nm blue light, and destroy microbial infection at a deep level with 905 nm infrared cold laser.
• Find pain relief: recover from injury, manage chronic pain caused by damaged nails, and decrease inflammation.
• Look and feel better: improve the look of unsightly nails, stimulate new nail growth, and regain confidence.

2. Press the On/Off button for 2 seconds to turn on the MicroRemedy to standby mode. The time display will show the working time of 7 minutes.

NOTE: Wait at least 2 hours between treatment sessions on the same finger or toe. Do not use more than 3 times per day on the same finger or toe.

3-MONTH TREATMENT PLAN
Commit to a 3-month treatment plan with the MicroRemedy.

You could see results sooner, but full benefits may not be achieved until you have completed at least three months of treatment. Be patient and consistent, using the MicroRemedy for 7 minutes per infected nail, up to 3 times a day, for a full 3 months.

Do not stop your other antifungal treatments (especially any prescribed medication) abruptly when you begin light therapy treatment, even when you begin to see results. If you see significant improvement after 3–4 weeks of treatment, discuss treatment options with your doctor or nail specialist.

USING THE ACUPRESSURE RINGS

Acupressure or shiatsu rings are made up of small triangle‑shaped points formed into a round ring. The rings stimulate acupressure points and reflexology zones in your hands, feet, or other areas of the body. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that by stimulating the acupressure points, you can stimulate internal organs and bodily functions.
This brings the energetic functions of the organs and body into balance.

Acupressure applies the same principles as acupuncture but does not puncture the skin’s surface. Applying pressure to certain points on the hands, feet, or body releases tension, calms anxiety, improves blood circulation in the area, and can even boost your energy and mental focus!

Whether you are fidgety, fatigued, or feeling achy, these understated rings are convenient and easy to use. The acupressure rings can be worn anywhere and it only takes short time to begin to feel the benefits. Carry your acupressure rings with you, so you can use them as needed throughout the day.

MASSAGING YOUR FINGER OR TOE

1. Place an acupressure ring on a finger or toe.
2. Use your other hand to slide the ring up and down your finger or toe.
3. Repeat as many times as you would like.

MASSAGING YOUR PALM, WRIST, OR THE BACK OF YOUR HAND

1. Place an acupressure ring on your index finger.
2. Slide the ring on your index finger back and forth acrossyour other palm, wrist, or the back of your hand.
3. Repeat as many times as you would like.

You can also massage other areas of your body. Simply slide an acupressure ring over the area you wish to target.

The Lifepro LumiCure Pro Light Therapy Torch is perfect for anyone who experiences stiffness or pain in their muscles or joints. It’s also great for performance recovery and reducing inflammation. Just a 2- to 3-minute session each day can provide excellent pain relief. The LumiCure Pro can be used almost anywhere, including on your fingers, wrists, arms, face, knees, back, legs, and feet. Five safe, non-UV light wavelengths provide a wide spectrum of healing:

• Red light (630 nm and 660 nm) improves blood circulation and boosts collagen and elastin production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by up to 35%. Red light therapy also tightens pores, smooths skin tone, and reduces symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea including redness, itching, flaking, swelling, and discomfort.
• Near-infrared (NIR) light (850 nm and 900 nm) penetrates deeply into tissue, organs, and joints to decrease inflammation, relieve pain, and repair cells.
• Blue light (420 nm) has anti-bacterial benefits and reduces inflammation. It eliminates the bacteria that cause acne, regulates over-active oil/sebum glands, and reduces pigmentation and sun damage. It also reduces hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and skin scaling from psoriasis.

Use the LumiCure Pro for 1–3 minutes per area, up to 3 times per day, and see results in as little as 3 weeks.
The LumiCure Pro is small and portable, and the included rechargeable batteries each provide up to 4 hours of use-time per charge. Enjoy performance recovery, pain relief, and anti-aging benefits anytime, anywhere!
