FAQ

1. Do you ship orders internationally?

When an order is shipped internationally, it may be subject to additional import taxes, customs duties, and/or fees imposed by the destination country. These fees are NOT included in our checkout prices and we are unable to calculate these import fees, as BMLC does not apply them to your order. If applicable, these charges are the responsibility of the recipient and will typically be due once the shipped goods arrive at the country of destination prior to delivery. For further information, we recommend contacting your local customs office.

 

We do not provide package shipping dimensions on our kits, as we utilise a third-party distribution center for all of our shipping, including our exporting. This company takes the responsibility as the exporter of our goods and therefore provides the necessary documentation for each international order.

We do not recommend or support international shipment through an additional third party forwarding service for several reasons, a few being the following:

  • The correct power cord(s) are only included based on the shipping address.
  • We cannot be liable for the order after it reaches the shipping address on file.
  • We cannot be liable for customs clearance. As mentioned, our third party is equipped to provide the correct paperwork on international orders.

2. What are the contraindication and precautionary warnings?

3. What is the difference between red and near infrared light?

Choose between red light, near infrared light, or both.

Red light: Delivered at 660nm, red light is readily absorbed by surface tissues and cells, leading to enhanced skin health and healing.

Near-infrared Light: Delivered at 850nm, near infrared (NIR) light is invisible to the human eye, and penetrates into deeper tissues, leading to enhanced recovery and inflammation support.

4. Do LEDs make a difference?

A big one! LEDs are the most effective technology for controlling the wavelength and direction of light therapy. They also allow for the delivery of high-intensity output with minimal heat. They’re by far the most efficient source for light therapy.
