I try to use the FIM lamp every other day. I use it right before bed because it puts me to sleep. I set it at 17" from my face and it takes five minutes to warm up. I only used it for 10 min. in the beginning to see how I would respond, then went to 30 min. I spray the Diamond formula when using it(used to spray the gold) and try to spritz every 2-5 minutes. The heat was the lamp is barely warm at the 17" distance. I do not use protective eye wear but I think it is a good idea to do so. My eyes have not had any issues of being dry nor my skin with use...actually I have experienced just the opposite. I haven't used it for body pains...have had an issue to needed it lately.  |

I also posted this in the Ageless Secret thread...
I wanted to share some information regarding the FIM Mineral Lamp usage and exposure with the eyes. I had a recent appointment with my ophthalmologist and wanted to get a full review from him regarding the safety of using the the FIM Mineral lamp as a beauty treatment(17” away from the unprotected eyes). I need to back up and tell you that I had posted on the thread that I thought that people might want to wear safety goggles. At first …it made sense to be cautious and I did use the safety goggles. Then I phoned my doctor and spoke to his nurse about the device to see what he thought. The nurse told me to fax the information about the lamp and she would have him review it and she would call me back with his decision. She called back within the week and said it was ok not to use the goggles. I didn't post that information because I wanted to talk to my doctor in person before sharing any information here. But I felt comfortable with using the mineral lamp 17” away without any eye protection and have done so for months now. Last week I went for an eye exam and took all my information on the lamp with me…including the FDA warning. We spent a long time talking and without any doubt my ophthalmologist felt very comfortable with me using the lamp. He went further to say it could be helping the oil glands(meibomain glands)stay open….these aid in keeping the tears in the eyes, thus helping with the dry eye situation. So he said to keep it up. For the record my dry eye condition was under control before I started with the mineral lamp and Ageless Secret Products but I was still using over the counter eye drops and having some dryness in my eyes in the morning. I now don’t have any issues nor need eye drops.
VERY IMPORTANT……You need to know that I used to have severe dry eyes …so much so that I had tear plugs put in and had the following protocol: restasis (2X daily),antibiotic daily to keep the oil glands opened up, over the counter drops (hourly), hot compresses to the eyes (2Xdaily). I currently do not have any symptoms of dry eyes and no longer need any of the protocol above…plugs are out and I no longer even use over the counter drops. My ophthalmologist is one of the best in the US, he has been a pioneer in an innovative treatment of dry eyes through a process of making eye drops from a patients own blood plasma…this works for people that have been resistant to other treatments. He is also a cornea specialist performing cornea transplants. Since he treats severe eye conditions he would be very quick to be alarmed to something that could damage the eye. He assured me the lamp wouldn't be harmful to the eyes. But and this is a BIG ….BUT …..not every doctor will agree, so this information is given as one doctor’s opinion…..Also keep in mind we are all different and need to make the decision for ourselves. I will say that many times when doctors don’t know if something is dangerous, they will err on the side of caution, and that can be a good thing. |
