LED Light Therapy: The Science Behind the Glow
Discover How Light-Based Healing Transforms Cellular Health and Recovery
Published: January 15, 2025 | By Advanced Body Solutions™ Team
LED light therapy has gained tremendous popularity in recent years, and for good reason. This non-invasive treatment harnesses the power of specific wavelengths of light to promote healing and rejuvenation at the cellular level.
How LED Light Therapy Works
LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin at varying depths. Different colors serve different purposes:
Therapeutic Light Wavelengths
Red Light (660-700nm)
Penetrates deeper into tissues, promoting collagen production and reducing inflammation
Near-Infrared (700-1000nm)
Reaches even deeper, supporting muscle recovery and pain relief
Blue Light (415nm)
Targets acne-causing bacteria in the upper layers of skin
The Science of Photobiomodulation
When LED light is absorbed by cells, it stimulates the mitochondria - the powerhouses of our cells. This process, called photobiomodulation, enhances cellular energy production (ATP), leading to:
- Increased collagen and elastin production for healthier, more youthful skin
- Improved circulation delivering nutrients and oxygen to tissues
- Reduced inflammation supporting natural healing processes
- Accelerated tissue repair for faster recovery from injury or exercise
- Enhanced lymphatic drainage helping eliminate toxins and reduce swelling
