How do I use the Ironforge?

The Ironforge can be used with the faceplate directly against your skin, or up to 6" for targeted use. Keep the device in constant motion over your body to avoid excessive heat buildup.

As with any new stimuli, start small and work up to a dose that works well for your body. Many people find their ideal dose between 5-15 minutes a day, spread over the whole body and focusing more on their problem areas.

How does it work?

Red light therapy works through a process called photobiomodulationโ€”using specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared (NIR) light to improve cellular function.

These wavelengths stimulate mitochondria, the energy factories within your cells, helping them produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate). More ATP means better healing, recovery, and performance.

This is not about forcing your body to do something unnatural. Itโ€™s about restoring a biological process that modern life has suppressed.

How soon will I notice a difference?

It really depends on what you're using red light therapy for, your specific goals, and the kind of device you're using. Some people feel relief almost immediately, especially when it comes to things like pain or inflammation, while others see relief after a few sessions. 

For skin related improvements or deeper recovery like joints and muscles, it usually takes a little longer. Most people start noticing real changes after two to six weeks. The key is staying consistent and using a device that delivers enough power to matter. Thatโ€™s where Ironforge makes a difference, itโ€™s built for efficiency and potency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use my Ironforge?

The Ironforge can be used with the faceplate directly against your skin, or up to 6" for targeted use. Keep the device in constant motion over your body to avoid excessive heat buildup.

As with any new stimuli, start small and work up to a dose that works well for your body. Many people find their ideal dose between 5-15 minutes a day, spread over the whole body and focusing more on their problem areas.

How long will it take to see results?

The timeline for seeing results from red light therapy (RLT) can vary depending on the individual's condition, the specific treatment goals, and the device used. Some of our users report feeling near-immediate relief, specially in terms of reduced inflammation and pain, while others see relief after a few sessions. 

Generally, for skin-related outcomes such as improved texture and healing, or for deeper tissue effects like muscle recovery and joint health, noticeable results may emerge after consistent use over a period of two to six weeks. The key to effective RLT is regular and correct usage, following the guidelines specific to your device. With our devices designed for efficiency and potency, users might experience quicker onset of benefits.

Is red light therapy proven to work?

Thousands of peer-reviewed studies support the use of red and near-infrared light for promoting recovery, reducing discomfort, and supporting tissue repair. Ironforge uses the most researched wavelengths and delivers them at intensity levels consistent with whatโ€™s been shown to be most effective.

Can I use it on my face, joints, or sensitive areas?

Absolutely. Ironforge was designed for targeted relief and recovery. You can use it on your knees, back, neck, shoulders, or face. Just be mindful of distance and duration.

Will this replace my physical therapy, massage, or clinic visits?

Ironforge is not a medical treatment and shouldnโ€™t replace professional care when needed. However, many users find they can reduce their reliance on recurring appointments or intense "healing" modalites such as ice baths by integrating Ironforge into their daily recovery routine.

Is Ironforge safe for daily use?

Yes. Ironforge uses wavelengths that have been widely studied and shown to be safe when used properly. There is no UV or harmful radiation, and the device is engineered to meet strict safety standards. Just follow the usage guidelines and allow your body to adapt gradually if you're new to red light therapy.

Is Ironforge portable? Can I travel with it?

Yes. Every Ironforge come with a travel case roughly the size of a small briefcase. Simply throw it your car and enjoy powerful red light therapy where ever life takes you. Whether youโ€™re on the road for competition or working remotely, your recovery routine doesnโ€™t need to pause.

Do I need to use it on bare skin?

Yes. For optimal results, red and near-infrared light should reach the skin without interference. Using Ironforge directly on clean, bare skin maximizes absorption and effectiveness. For those more private areas of the body enjoy the comfortable of using this in your own home.

How long will it take to get my order?

It depends on where you are. Orders processed here will take 5-7 business days to arrive. Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.

Isn't more than a few J/cm^2 too much power?

No! Let's estimate the fluence of red and NIR light one might get from the sun on an average summer day under the shade of a tree...

1. Sunlight Spectrum Intensity:
Sunlight is approximately 1000 W/m^2 in direct sunlight. When considering the red to NIR range (600-900nm), about 43% of the solar spectrum falls into this range. So, the intensity in this range is approximately: 0.43 x 1000 W/m^2 = 430 W/m^2

2. Shade Reduction:
Being in the shade can reduce sunlight intensity by around 50-90%, depending on the shade's type and density. Let's take an average value of 70% reduction. Intensity in the shade = 0.3 x 430 W/m^2 = 129 W/m^2

3. Conversion to Fluence (Total Dose):
Fluence (J/cm^2) is power (W/cm^2) multiplied by time (seconds). Let's consider
exposure over a day (let's say 6 hours of variable sunlight in shade). This would be 6 x 60 x 60 seconds = 21,600 seconds.

First, convert the intensity from W/m^2 to W/cm^2:
129 W/m^2 = 0.0129 W/cm^2

Then, compute the fluence:
Fluence = 0.0129 W/cm^2 x 21,600 s = 278.88 J/cm^2

So, in the shade on an average summer day, one could be exposed to a total
fluence of near 300 J/cm^2 in the red & near infrared range from the sun.

We find the total exposure seems to be more important in
many processes, so we us multi-watt red/nir light in our device to offer quick effective treatments.

High Fluence Supporting Research:
Can I use my Ironforge worldwide?
Yes! Your Ironforge is compatible with both 110/120 and 220/240 V, (adapter not included).

Some LEDs are not lit up, is my device broken?

Rest assured the device is working properly.

Wavelengths beyond about 700 nanometers are invisible to the human eye, it's normal to not see any light from the LEDs in this range.

This is by design as near infrared (NIR) light is
the frequency range that penetrates deepest into the tissue to do their job.

One way to verify complete function is using an inexpensive wall power meter like the "kill-a-watt" device, you should see around 210W of power draw.
Will this help raise my Vitamin D levels?
No, but you'll be interested in our D-Light device, the first ever consumer UVB LED device for Vitamin D production.
Is there support if I have questions?
Yes. Our team is always here for you. Whether it's setup help, usage tips, or deeper questions about red light therapy, weโ€™re ready to support your recovery goals.

Simply contact us at hello@getchroma.co and we will respond within 24 hours.
