ANSR: FAQs

The ANSR: BEAM - Two light therapy treatments in one device

1. Is the ANSR: BEAM safe?
   Yes. The ANSR: BEAM utilizes harmless LED (light-emitting diode) photolight. Although the BEAM light is intensely bright, it is neither a laser nor UV light, so it won't burn your skin or eyes. As with any bright light source, staring into the RED and BLUE LED lights for any length of time is not recommended.
   TUV America—a globally recognized testing, inspection, and certification organization— has extensively tested the BEAM and ensures the safety and
   construction of the handheld device.
   
   
2. How often should I use ANSR: BEAM?

Results vary based on severity of skin conditions and are also a function of consistent use.
