What is LLLT?
LLLT is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment that targets dry eye, styes, and chalazion (cysts) of the eyelids.
How does LLLT work?
LLLT works to control oil production of meibomian glands, target inflammation of the eyelids, treat acne/rosacea, improve skin tone by stimulating collagen production, and reduces redness.
Studies have shown that LLLT significantly improved dry eye symptoms by helping maintain the tear film, which lubricates the eyes.
We offer versatility with 4 color wavelengths that can be used independently or combined to up to 24 combinations that target various conditions:
- Red Light Therapy (633 nm): Stimulates cellular activity and promotes collagen production. Improves skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles, and reduces inflammation.
- Blue Light Therapy (417 nm): Able to penetrate the skin and reach sebaceous (oil) glands. Helps eliminate bacteria responsible for acne, reducing acne blemishes and improving skin texture.
- Yellow Light Therapy (590 nm): Stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation. Reduces skin redness from conditions such as ocular rosacea while promoting detoxification and healing from sun damage.
- Infrared Light Therapy (850 nm): Promotes cellular repair by deeply penetrating the skin tissues. Effective for pain management, muscle recovery, and joint health especially post-surgery.
What happens during LLLT?
Before beginning LLLT, our team will thoroughly assess your dry eye condition. This evaluation helps us determine the most suitable treatment plan for your needs.
Once you have been checked in, you will be comfortably seated, and specialized equipment will administer gentle pulses of light to your eyelids and surrounding areas. The treatment is painless and generally well-tolerated by patients.
The duration and frequency of LLLT sessions may vary depending on the severity of your dry eye condition. Typically, multiple sessions are recommended over a specific timeframe to achieve optimal results. Each session usually lasts 15 to 30 minutes, and our team will guide you through the process, ensuring your comfort.
What are the risks of LLLT?
While LLLT is generally safe, some patients may experience mild, temporary side effects such as minor eye discomfort, sensitivity to light, or a slight warming sensation. These effects usually subside shortly after the treatment. Our experienced professionals will monitor your progress and address any concerns or questions you may have during and after your treatment.
