FAQ

How does IQ Massager work?

IQ Massager sends various patterns of electronic impulses to your muscles through the massage pads. Your muscles respond to the impulses by contracting and relaxing rhythmically. The contracting and relaxing of your muscles produces soothing massage sensations that are similar to that given by a massage specialist.

What kind of technology does IQ Massager use?

IQ Massager uses innovation of Human Bio-electric Emulation technology. There are other electronic massagers out in the market that use similar technology, but most of them only provide one “tapping” sensation. Your body will get accustomed to that one particular sensation and it will eventually stop responding to it. On the other hand, IQ Massager produces various kinds of massage sensations in a random fashion so that your muscles are always in for a surprise every time you use it.

How to take care of the massage pads?

Before applying massage pads, clean your skin first if you use skin cream or if your skin is dirty. If the pads become dirty, you can wash them using clear water or rubbing alcohol.

Depending on frequency of use, the pads can last from one month to several months. If you find the pads lose their adhesiveness and it is very difficult to make them adhesive again by applying drops of clear water, or if the pads are worn out, you need to change the pads. Extra massage pads can be ordered from www.IQMassager.com.

To change the pads, just unsnap the button on the back of the pads and clip on the new pads. Once you put a new set of pads on, the device will work like new again.

The massage pads are not sticking, what should I do?

Make sure that the protective plastic covering the massage pads have been removed. The massage pads are water activated. Before each use, dip your fingers into some water and rub the water onto each pad. Apply the pads immediately to your skin when they are still wet.

Remove the old pads and replace with new pads about once a month to ensure maximum effectiveness. Also, remember to place the pads back into the storage tray right after each use to prevent the pads from drying up and picking up dirt.

Why do I feel stinging sensations from the pads sometimes?

The pads must be moist and sticky to work. Pads that are not moist enough will produce a weak and stinging sensation. Before each use dip your finger into some clear water and rub the water onto the massage pads. Apply the pads immediately to you skin when they are still wet. Make sure that the pads are making full and firm contact with the skin.

Worn out pads may also cause a stinging sensation. Replace the pads as need. Even when you feel stinging sensations, IQ Massager is safe. You just need to make sure that the pads are moist.

I can barely feel anything from the pads, what is wrong?

Check the wire connection to the pads and make sure the plug is securely plugged. Make sure the batteries are in good condition. Check that the pads are moist and not worn out. Turn the switch off then turn on again. Please make sure both pads attach on same person’s body in order to feel the sensation. Gradually increase the intensity level.

I have a pacemaker, is the IQ Massager is safe for me to use?

Those with pace maker or any heart condition should not use the IQ Massager.

I am a pregnant woman. Is the IQ Massager safe for me to use?

Pregnant women should not use the IQ Massager.

Where can I apply the pads?

Generally, you can apply pads to anywhere except heart and brain area . We recommend some common massage points in the manual accompanying IQ Massager for most effective relaxation on your body. The best way to relieve your pain is to find the pain points and apply the pads there.

How long can I use the IQ Massager?

You can use it as often as you like. You can use it from 20 to 60 minutes each time, 2 to 3 times per day for better and faster improvement. There are NO chemicals or drugs involved.

Do I need to ask my doctor first about using this device?
