Pioneers in Laser Therapy
Established in 1990, MicroLight Corporation of America is a pioneer in cold laser therapy; and the first company with FDA clearance to market low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for the non-surgical treatment of pain through adjunctive therapy in patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.The MicroLight patented 830 nanometer (nm) wavelength Gallium-Aluminum-Arsenide (GaAIAs) laser is classified by the FDA as a laser device for adjunctive use in pain therapy.There are 30+ years of clinical studies published on PubMed documenting that the 830nm range is the optimal wavelength to treat pain and inflammation.
In red light therapy, you expose your skin to a lamp, device, or laser with a red light. It uses an LED (light-emitting diode) that emits the correct spectrum of light. Red LED light travels deeper into the skin than blue LED light, which is sometimes used to treat skin surface conditions such as acne. When the light enters your skin, your mitochondria soak it up and make more energy, which helps cells repair themselves.
Red light therapy uses very low levels of heat and doesn’t hurt or burn the skin. Unlike the light used in tanning booths, it doesn’t expose your skin to damaging UV rays.
