Low-Level Light Therapy
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is an innovative treatment that utilizes non-visible wavelengths of light to activate, repair, and enhance cellular function. By using non-ionizing energy, it stimulates cellular activity, speeds up tissue healing, and helps reduce inflammation.

Our Set Up
Red Light Therapy
The Rejuvenator
With wavelengths typically between 620 and 750 nanometers, red light penetrates the skin to stimulate cellular activity and boost collagen production. This can lead to smoother skin, fewer fine lines, and a more even skin tone. Beyond its cosmetic benefits, red light therapy is also linked to pain relief and reduced inflammation, making it a versatile treatment for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes.
Blue Light Therapy
The Purifier
With a wavelength range of 405 to 470 nanometers, blue light penetrates the skin to target sebaceous (oil) glands, helping to eliminate acne-causing bacteria. This makes it a powerful, non-invasive solution for those with acne-prone skin. Blue light therapy is known to reduce inflammation and enhance the appearance of acne lesions, offering a gentle yet potent approach to achieving clearer, healthier skin.
Yellow Light Therapy
The Restorer
With a wavelength between 570 and 590 nanometers, This makes it effective in reducing redness, inflammation, and promoting detoxification, while aiding in the overall healing process. Yellow light therapy is commonly used to boost skin vitality, repair sun damage, and promote a more even skin tone. Its calming and soothing effects make it a popular choice for those seeking a rejuvenating and relaxing light therapy experience.
InfraRed Light Therapy
The Reliever
Renowned for its deep tissue penetration, operating at wavelengths beyond the visible spectrum, usually ranging from 700 to 1,000 nanometers. This therapy promotes cellular repair and regeneration. Effective in pain management, muscle recovery, and joint health. Widely used in both medical and wellness settings, infrared light therapy helps relieve discomfort, reduce inflammation, and speed up the healing process, making it an essential tool for supporting overall well-being.

How does LLLT Treat Dry Eye?
Stimulates Tear Production
LLLT can help stimulate the lacrimal glands (tear glands) to produce more natural tears, alleviating the dryness associated with dry eye syndrome. By using light in specific wavelengths, it promotes cellular activity in the lacrimal glands.
Reduces Inflammation
Chronic dry eye can cause inflammation of the ocular surface. LLLT is thought to reduce inflammation in the tissues of the eye, particularly around the eyelids and the tear ducts. This reduction in inflammation can improve tear film stability and reduce discomfort.
Enhances Cellular Repair
The light from LLLT penetrates the skin and stimulates cellular activity in the tissues, promoting the healing and regeneration of cells. This is particularly helpful for the epithelial cells of the cornea, which can become damaged in chronic dry eye cases.
Improves Meibomian Gland Function
Many dry eye cases are linked to a malfunction in the meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oily layer of the tear film. LLLT can help improve the function of these glands, reducing the evaporation of tears and improving tear stability.
Improves Nerve Function
LLLT can also have an effect on the nerves in the eye and surrounding areas. This may help improve the sensation of dryness or irritation, which is often reported by individuals with dry eye syndrome.
Non-invasive and Safe
Unlike some other treatments for dry eyes, such as surgery or medication, LLLT is non-invasive and has few reported side effects. It is typically well-tolerated by patients and is often used in conjunction with other treatments for dry eyes.
Is LLLT the Right Treatment for You?

Contraindications are infected lesion, lupus, epilepsy, photosensitivity from conditions or medications. If these apply to you please contact our office to discuss alternative dry eye treatments.
Things to know after your LLLT:
- Try to avoid getting your skin hot immediately following your treatment.
- Results expected after 4-6 weeks (depending on severity and condition being treated).
- Intense light therapy can cause a warming or hot sensation of the skin.
- Vision may become blurry immediately after treatment – this is normal.
