What is light therapy?

Polychromatic Light Therapy is a unique therapy of red and near-infrared (NIR) light.  Red light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the cells to trigger photobiomodulation mechanisms including the release of nitric oxide.

​

Unlike blue, red or yellow light, NIR light is invisible to the human eye. It emits wavelengths of light energy (800 – 1100 nm) that increase circulation and decrease pain.  Our polychromatic neoprene therapy pad is designed to be easily and comfortably applied to any surface area of the body. They can flex to many anatomical locations.

​

How does it work?

Evidence demonstrates photobiomodulation (our light therapy pads) signals damaged cells to begin their repair processes.  This mechanism of action is a photochemical response, not a heat/thermal response, therefore the tissue is safe from thermal damage making the systems both safe and effective.

​

Light energy is not only essential to life, it provides powerful support to the body’s natural healing processes. Polychromatic LED light energy, delivered via light emitting diodes at various wavelengths, penetrates tissue at different depths, and is naturally absorbed by the cells to assist in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), energy required for cell repair and regeneration. PLT energy application also facilitates the release of nitric oxide supporting the body with improved circulation. Improved circulation (blood flow) is one of the most vital components of the healing process. LED light energy is a valuable tool to utilize for health, wellness and vitality.

​

What are some of the benefits that clients have reported having?

• Reduced pain (Back, neck, leg, shoulder, knee, ankle, elbow)

• Increased circulation

• Improved sensation

• Increased oxygenation

• Reduced pain due to Arthritis

• Reduced inflammation and swelling

• Reduce/relax tight muscles

• Anti-aging

​

​

Is it safe to use?

Legally marketed as a cleared FDA Class II Medical Device, it is confirmed that the application of the flexible neoprene therapy pads laden with polychromatic LED combinations of red, blue, and near-infrared diodes directly onto the skin introduces the benefits directly to the body parts through skin response.

​

​

How long is each session?

The first, and most other sessions, are 20 minutes in length.  We have multiple pads allowing many areas of the body to be treated at one time.
