Pre-Treatment Care

Although LED Light Therapy is noninvasive and generally considered safe for everyone there are certain medical conditions and medication that can make your skin more sensitive to light which means this treatment wouldn't be suitable

Anyone undergoing steroid treatment or currently using anti-inflammatory medication should not undergo LED Light Therapy. Anti-inflammatory medications cancel out the accelerated cell activity that LED light triggers, negating any therapeutic benefit of the therapy. The best is to wait at least 7 days before using LED therapy.
