Overview
Light Therapy
There are many benefits of red and infrared light therapy. Studies show improvements in many types of conditions. Learn how and why the LZR UltraBright can help. The information below is for the clinical use of LED light therapy. Although we include a short overview of physics, physiology, and the history of light, we purposely limit coverage of these subjects to focus on the clinical aspects of treatment with LED light therapy.
LIGHT THERAPY WITH LZR ULTRABRIGHT
Light therapy, especially narrowband UVB (NB-UVB), is quite fascinating and increasingly popular for its effectiveness in treating various skin conditions. Here are some key points about light therapy in skin treatments:
1. Device Efficacy: Devices like the LZR Ultrabright are highly effective and cost-efficient in delivering targeted light therapy.
2. Treatment Specificity: Light waves are focused on the affected area for a specific duration and sometimes at optimal times of the day to maximize healing.
3. Application Methods: Light therapy can be administered in different ways, either targeting specific skin spots with ultraviolet light or enclosing the entire body in a UVB booth, which can be done at home or in a clinic.
4. Safety and Quality: Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) therapy is considered the safest and most effective form, typically using a wavelength of 311–313 nanometers.
BENEFITS OF LIGHT THERAPY
✓ Improved skin health: Helps in reducing wrinkles, scars, and other signs of aging by stimulating collagen production.
✓ Pain relief: Can reduce inflammation and provide relief from chronic pain, including conditions like arthritis.
✓ Enhanced muscle recovery: Speeds up the healing process of muscles and tissues after exercise or injury.
✓ Reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety: May help improve mood by stimulating the production of serotonin.
✓ Improved circulation: Enhances blood flow, which can promote overall health and healing.
IMPORTANT NOTES
This form of light therapy has shown great promise in managing conditions like psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema. Always best to consult with a healthcare provider to tailor the treatment to individual needs!
LZR Ultrabright is the most effective and cost efficient device used in administering light therapy treatments. The light waves are focused on the affected area for a specific period of time and sometimes administered at certain times of the day where light therapy is most effective in the healing process.
Light Therapy in Skin Treatments. The affected skin area or spot is exposed to ultraviolet light or the whole body surface is enclosed in a high power UVB booth done at home or clinic. The most famous and safest treatment quality is the utilization of narrowband UVB or NB-UVB, having a wavelength of 311–313 nanometer.
