A photo-modulated (pulsed, light emitting diodes) device also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT). The infrared and visible red LEDs are the heart of the Energia Medical’s pads.

Decades of research found that certain wavelengths of light within the red and infrared bands were very beneficial to living tissue. Light Therapy is currently being used in clinical and home settings around the world. Light Therapy has been in use by the medical profession to increase circulation, reduce pain, relax muscles and relieve aches/stiffness from Arthritis for more than 20 years.

Light Therapy describes the color in terms of the wavelength of the LEDs. The human eye sees wavelengths as colors. Infrared is outside of the visible spectrum and cannot be seen by the eye.

An individual can use the equipment safely without medical supervision at home or can be treated by a healthcare provider in a clinic setting. The sessions are completely non-invasive. Do not use Light Therapy over the pregnant belly or if taking any medications that cause light sensitivity.

The lights create a comforting, warm feeling with the pads.

The infrared light energy releases nitric oxide from hemoglobin and endothelial cells. Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule that relaxes smooth muscle cells found in the arteries, veins, and lymph vessels. When these muscles relax, the vessels dilate, thus allowing increased circulation.

You can use the lights up to 2 times a day in the same area, but you should allow a few hours between treatments if you are treating the same location. For ongoing treatments 3 times per week is typical.

Blue, red and infrared have different levels of penetration into the body.

• Anti-Inflammation
• Anti-Pain (Analgesia)
• Increased Metabolic Activity
• Immunoregulation
• Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth
• Improved Nerve Function
• Improved Vascular Activity
• Trigger Point Resolution and Acupuncture Point Stimulation

You can see red lights, but you cannot see infrared light. It might not look like they are on, but they are actually on. If you took your cell phone and looked at the pads through the camera, you’ll actually be able to see the infrared lights on.
