Treatment area needs 30 minutes for maximum affect. an hour session can have 2 treatment areas. Light Stim Healing Pro Panel can be applied to any area of the body: head, neck, shoulders, back, knees, menstrual cramps, joints, etc. Infrared is a type of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared light delivered through light-emitting diodes (LEDs) speeds up the body’s healing process and promotes pain relief. The use of this technology in pain treatment has since been cleared by the FDA for the treatment of multiple pain indicators, including chronic pain, pain from trauma, pain from sport’s injuries, and pain from menstrual cramps. Medical specialists and physiotherapists are treating a wide variety of acute and chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries with light therapy. Light therapy helps to reduce pain and inflammation while promoting the body’s healing mechanisms and treating the source of pain. When infrared light reaches body cells, it is absorbed by the mitochondria of the cell. This increases the cell’s metabolism which stimulates healing in the muscle, bone, skin, and subcutaneous tissue. An important mechanism in this process is the release of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide (NO) occurs naturally in the body and is a key signaling molecule which, when activated, can set off several effects. It plays a major role in promoting blood flow to tissues and increasing lymphatic drainage. Increased blood flow helps bring oxygen and nutrients to areas of pain, while through the increase in lymphatic drainage inflammation is inhibited and swelling is reduced. Infrared light has also been shown to have direct effects on pain signals by facilitating the production of endorphins, the “feel-good” chemicals that can act as pain relievers, together with nitric oxide. Light Stim Pro Panel uses 4 wavelengths for maximum penetration of multiple layers: Light Red - 630 Dark Red - 660 Infrared - 855 Deep Infrared - 940
