The Ironforge Mini 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 5-10 minutes a day, spread over the whole body and focusing more on their problem areas.
The timeline for seeing results from red light therapy (RLT) can vary depending on the individual's condition, and the specific treatment goals. 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.
Thousands of peer-reviewed studies support the use of red and near-infrared light for promoting recovery, reducing discomfort, and supporting tissue repair.
Studied dose ranges from the equivalent of just seconds with the Ironforge, to multiple minutes. This tool is designed to deliver a lot of light to your target area quickly.
Absolutely. The Ironforge Mini 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. Increase use distance over the face and other sensitive areas, being aware of heat buildup in the skin.
The Ironforge Mini is not a medical device and shouldn’t replace professional care when needed. However, many users find they can reduce their reliance on recurring appointments or intense "healing" modalities. Using the Ironforge Mini alongside tools such as ice baths, massage, and physical therapy can increase total effectiveness.
Yes. The Ironforge Mini uses wavelengths that have been widely studied and shown to be safe when used properly. There is no UV output, 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.
Yes. Every Ironforge Mini come with a travel case roughly the size of a yoga block. Simply throw it your backpack, gym bag or car and enjoy powerful red light therapy where ever life takes you. Whether you’re on the road for competition or working remotely, your recovery routine doesn’t need to pause.
Yes. For optimal results, red and near-infrared light should reach the skin without interference. Using the Ironforge directly on clean, bare skin maximizes absorption and effectiveness. For those more private areas of the body, increase your use distance to reduce intensity of the exposure.
It depends on where you are. Orders processed here will take 3-7 business days to arrive. Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.
Yes! Your Ironforge is compatible with both 110/120 and 220/240 V, (adapter not included).
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 labeled 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 200W +-10W of power draw.
Yes. Our team is always here for you. Whether it's setup help, usage tips, or deeper questions about red light therapy, we’re ready to support your recovery goals.

"I’ve been using the Ironforge Mini at Santa Cruz Movement, and it’s been a great addition to the studio. It’s compact and easy to use, and our students have been excited to try it. I also have a larger Ironforge at home, so I appreciate having the Mini available at the studio. It fits naturally into our space and our approach to movement and recovery."
"I was a skeptic at first, but I set time aside to do an extensive red light routine. II was a skeptic at first, but I set time aside to do an extensive red light routine. I absolutely feel the difference and don’t want to go a day without it."
"I’ve been using the Chroma Iron Forge Red Light daily for several months now, and it’s become an essential part of my training routine. It’s easy to use, easy to travel with, and I genuinely love it. I’ve had a great experience with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality red light device to complement recovery needs."
"I have been skeptical of the red lights, but my wife wanted to try one, chroma seemed to have the best products. We were both impressed with the quality and she says it "definitely helps with lower back pain". I'm impressed for sure."
"Insane power! I have been suffering from neck and migraine headache pain for more than 40 years. The very first day I received this iron Forge mini I tried it on my headache and it fixed it within five minutes. I purchased a red light therapy panel two years ago. I spent $800 for a small one. I could tell the red light therapy was helping, but just not enough infrared power to get to my problem so after spending that amount of money and getting some relief, I took a deep dive and made lots of research into finding the best product for my situation. I came across the chroma product line. The power is off the charts! I just wish I could get more friends and family involved. I feel like this technology can change the world!"
"I’ve been dealing with pretty intense tailbone pain and, after researching everything I could think of and asking friends for recommendations, I finally decided to try the ironforge mini. I’ve been using it about five days a week and the difference has been incredible. I’m finally able to sleep through the night without waking up from pain, which I’m so grateful for. It’s small, easy to travel with, and surprisingly powerful. I’m officially obsessed with it."
"Helps a lot"
"I love this device. . I keep it handy for all my red light therapy needs!!"
"This has been such an amazing tool in my wellness cupboard! As a professional baker, my ankles and feel can get quite tired by the end of the day. I love using this to target that, and the size makes it easy!"
"I used this daily and saw powerful increases to energy, and recovery. I’ve never uses a red light that is that bright/warm and intense. Only took me 5 mins to do my whole body"
