Wavelengths for Cellular Renewal
What is LightStim LED Therapy?
For decades, people have known the therapeutic benefits of LED therapy, also called red light or low-light therapy. It emits specific wavelengths of light that go under the skin to stimulate cellular function and relieve pain. Explicitly designed for pain treatment and recovery, LightStim LED technology simultaneously emits light red, dark red, infrared and deep infrared wavelengths of light. This boost in cellular energy and efficiency triggers a cascade of healing processes within your body. LightStim LED therapy is an excellent adjunct to other recovery therapies, enhancing clinical benefits and accelerating recovery.

During your session with a trained LightStim therapist, you'll be comfortably positioned on the LightStim LED bed or under the LightStim face panel. You'll relax for 45 minutes as the light penetrates your skin to stimulate your body's natural healing process.
