LightStim+ at Stillwater Wellness
Proven Therapies
Low Level Light Therapy, also known as Red Light Therapy has been clinically proven to stimulate cellular turnover, allowing the body to work to heal, rejuvenate, and function at optimal levels.
NASA developed the science and LightStim took it steps further with their MultiWave® Technology which simultaneously emits multiple wavelengths of light.
What does this mean? LightStim+ has been FDA cleared for:
☼Increasing circulation, accelerate recovery, and reduce inflammation & pain.
☼Improvement of skin tone, reducing the appearance of scars, fine lines & wrinkles, allowing your best self to shine through.
☼Calming of acne breakouts, reduction of redness for improved and clearer skin.
NASA Technology
NASA initially began researching red light therapy for plant growth and soon recognized the value of light therapy in healing wounds in astronauts.
LightStim+ MultiWave® Patented Technology has been proven time and again to be the leader in Low Level Light Therapy science for over 20 years. The list continues to grow as researchers find promise in treatment for:
Improve wound healing
Reduce stretch marks
Reduce wrinkles, fine lines and age spots.
Improve facial texture.
Improve scars.
Improve sun-damaged skin.
Improve hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia.
Improve acne.
There are currently ongoing studies showing LLLT/RLT may help prevent herpes cold sore breakouts, improvement of anxiety symptoms, and treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease*.
Unlike the cancer-causing ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or tanning booths, RLT doesn’t use this type of light, so it’s generally a safe therapy (studies suggest using caution when pregnant).
