75. LLLT vs. LED Light Therapy: Which Wavelengths of Light (and Power Densities) Yield Therapeutic Benefits (Wrinkle Reduction, Lymphatic Drainage, & More) - Clearing Up Confusion Around Light Therapy


Listen Later

In today's episode, we are diving deep into light therapy, specifically comparing Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and LED Light Therapy. We are clarifying the crucial distinctions between these two forms of therapy, focusing on the significance of various wavelengths of light and power densities in achieving therapeutic benefits. We explore studies that examine the effectiveness of LLLT and LED Light Therapy in contexts such as wrinkle reduction and lymphatic drainage, shedding light on the science behind these treatments and helping to clear up common misconceptions. Stay tuned!
