What do I wear during treatment? It is important that all areas of your body being treated are fully exposed to the light and not covered by any clothing. You will lay directly on the LED Therapy Bed with a towel covering you.

How will I feel after treatment? Some report feeling energized, while others observe a sense of calm. Those who are in pain often notice distinct relief after only one treatment. As with any other healthy routines, these benefits are cumulative. We recommend three treatments per week for best results. 

Who should not use LED light therapy? Although there are no known contraindications, if you are battling cancer or terminal illness, taking topical Retin-A or Accutane, or if you are pregnant, we advise getting approval from your health care professional prior to light therapy treatment. If you are on antibiotics or suspect you have skin sensitivity issue to light, please let staff know and they can perform a skin sensitivity test.
