LED Light Therapy Guide

If you just started using light therapy for anti-aging treatments you may want to start off with once a day use and do that for first 45-60 days. After that you may continue to use the system daily, or you may decrease it to 2-3 times per week, or even less, such as once per week, whatever works for you and your schedule. Everyone’s skin is different and will respond differently when using light therapy.For anti-aging applications, we recommend leaving the system on one treatment area for 3 minutes. Holding the device steady and not moving around. After 3 minutes you will move to the next treatment area. For usage for a particular device check out our resources selection on this page above. The Light Therapy System for Anti-Aging does not have any harmful rays and it will not cause damage to the skin or eyes. The system is safe to use around the eye area. The LED’s are bright and it is preferred that your eyes are closed while using the device on the eye area.

Use the Light Therapy System on affected areas for 3 minutes per treatment area. Hold the device steady during each treatment time. When acne flares up light therapy can be used for spot treatments or for the treatment of larger areas. Blue light kills the bacteria if used regularly will help keep acne at bay.

For Pain relief applications, you can use the device once or twice per day. However, if you are experiencing pain after these two sessions you may use the system more. Unlike a heating pad, light therapy works underneath the surface of the skin, penetrating a 1” to 1”1 ½” below the skin’s surface.There are many studies, including NASA studies that show that light therapy works for pain relief. Professionals such as doctors, rehab facilities, therapists, and chiropractors use light therapy on patients in clinical settings with great success. Many people will experience reduced pain after the first use, but depending on different factors it could take many days of multiple treatments to feel the pain reduction. Some of the factors that impact results are the type of pain, cause or source of pain, medications, location on the body, etc. We encourage the users to set the expectations levels at a reasonable point. Light Therapy assists with pain relief, including increasing blood circulation, relaxing muscles, and reducing spasms. Be encouraged to be realistic in expectations of what you are trying to accomplish.

It’s recommended that you hold the device ¼” from the skin’s surface or directly on the skin if you wish. For our handheld products, hold the device steady in the treatment area for 3 minutes.

It is recommended that you use our light therapy for 3 minutes per treatment area. You can use a clock, cell phone or watch timer to set that time. Hold or place the device on the treatment area, holding it steady without moving it around. Upon completion of the 3-minute treatment cycle, move the device to the next treatment area repeat and follow the same steps.

The lights (LEDs) that you are not seeing are in the Infrared (I/R) spectrum and are not visible to the human eye. Some cell phones & high-speed digital cameras are able to pick up on the LED’s in this spectrum. By using your cell phone or high-speed digital camera you may be able to see them.

It is not an immediate transformation that will occur overnight, but it will provide you with ongoing improvements that you will begin to see in anywhere from 24 hours to 2 months, depending on the condition, the severity of your skin, and how regularly the light is used. There are many factors that come into play when determining results. Anti-aging (wrinkles) some people report seeing improvement after a short period of time, as early as a couple of weeks, while for others it may take longer, as late as 10 weeks. Everyone’s skin is different and will respond differently when using light therapy. Pain results can be immediate or will require several treatments depending on the pain and/or condition. Acne results happen very quickly and continuous treatments can keep the acne at bay. Will the treatment hurt? No, unlike laser injections or other invasive treatments, it is a non-thermal, non-ablative, and non-invasive treatment. Clients report no discomfort or pain associated with using infrared light.

Red and near-infrared light therapy are both effective treatments. Red light is visible and treats the surface of the skin with 630-700 nm on the electromagnetic scale. Near-infrared light is between 700 and 1200 nm of the light spectrum and is invisible. Near-infrared light penetrates into the body deeper than red light.

This depends on the condition you are treating and the device you are using. For most conditions, daily use for at least two weeks is recommended, followed by a once- or twice-weekly for maintenance.

You should allow time for the product that has been injected to harden/solidify since the light therapy will increase the circulation and stimulate the area. It is suggested that you avoid the area of injection for 5-7 days to allow the product that was injected to settle.
