How Does Light Therapy for Pain Work?

In the same way that plants grow by getting their energy from the sun during photosynthesis, Infrared light therapy -- or “low-level light” therapy -- uses specific, proven wavelengths to stimulate a natural response in human tissue that can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, ease muscle pain, relieve joint stiffness, and enhance overall cell performance on a microscopic level. Infrared light therapy works by boosting cellular energy to encourage and enhance the body’s natural healing abilities.

For what purpose is LED light therapy used?

• Mild to moderate acne vulgaris

• Superficial, benign vascular and pigment lesions

• Periorbital wrinkles and rhytides

• Sub-optimal local blood flow and circulation
