The Brightside Process

Understanding Your Health

Before we begin your LED treatment, we discuss your current symptoms and concerns, your health history, and your expectations for treatment. This is how we understand how the Lightstim LED Bed can work best for you.

Starting Treatment

The treatment process is simple—you simply lie comfortably on the Lightstim LED Bed for 40 minutes, surrounded by relaxing combinations of red and near-infrared LED lights. You can unwind and enjoy the treatment’s therapeutic effects.

Improving From the Inside Out

Many patients feel a sense of relaxation after their Lightstim LED sessions. As you continue treatment, you can expect to notice additional benefits, such as enhanced skin texture, reduced inflammation, and increased energy levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

How the LED Bed Works

The Lightstim LED Bed uses specific wavelengths of light—which interact with your cellular structures—to stimulate healing and regeneration.

The red and near-infrared lights

penetrate into the skin, creating a number of cascading beneficial effects. The lights stimulate the release of cellular energy (NO and ATP), providing a rejuvenating effect to the entire body. Vaso-dilation reduces blood pressure and improves blood flow to the body, helping with pain and soreness. And the lights also stimulate collagen and elastin production to improve your overall appearance.

The combination of these processes can have a therapeutic effect on your body, which relatively improves sleep quality and energy levels. Additionally, the light can help regulate your circadian rhythms and encourage the production of melatonin, which also contributes to good-quality rest.

The soothing effect of the Lightstim LED bed can also help with chronic stress and tension. It contributes to an overall enhanced feeling of well-being and relaxation, which can help alleviate the physical symptoms of stress, such as feelings of anxiety.

Among its other various benefits, the Lighstim LED Bed can support healthy blood pressure by improving your cardiovascular health. The red and near-infrared light wavelengths can stimulate relaxation and dilation in your blood vessels, improving blood circulation. Additionally, the stress-reducing effects of the Lightstim LED Bed can promote a healthy heart.
