LED Light Therapy: The Science Behind the Glow

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
