Clients choose Inlight PLT for its convenience, value, drug-free, and non-invasive healing properties. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfRL/rl.cfm?lid=631299&lpcd=ILY
What is light therapy?
Polychromatic Light Therapy (PLT) refers to the use of multiple wavelengths (colors) of light to stimulate biological processes inside the body.
Polychromatic light therapy is a unique therapy that harnesses the powers of near-infrared light. Unlike normal blue, green or red light, near-infrared (also known as NIR) light is invisible to the human eye. It emits special wavelengths of light energy that dramatically increase circulation to areas of chronic pain. The NIR light has been reported to dilate blood vessels at the site of treatment. The result tends to be a more rapid relief of discomfort, improvement in sensation, and regeneration of damaged tissues.
PLT is administered through pulsed frequencies, a key feature that prevents the healing process from reaching a plateau while continuously stimulating the body's natural self-healing mechanisms. Inlight Therapy PLT systems deliver the healing benefits of polychromatic light using their Progressive Multi-Pulse™ technology.
The key to understanding how polychromatic light therapy works is called photobiomodulation.

Every mammalian cell is built with specialized photoreceptors to receive light. Our cells actually require light for the optimal function which means our bodies need light for optimal health.
Healing Benefits of Blue & Green Light
Blue Light Therapy (Wavelength: ~450–495 nm)
Blue light is well known for its effects on alertness, cognitive function, and skin health.
Therapeutic Benefits:
- Enhancing Cognitive Function – Blue light exposure increases alertness and boosts mental performance, especially in cases of fatigue or seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
- Regulating Sleep-Wake Cycles – While excessive blue light at night can suppress melatonin, controlled daytime exposure helps regulate circadian rhythms.
- Acne Treatment – Blue light has antibacterial properties, especially against Propionibacterium acnes, making it a natural acne treatment.
- Reducing Inflammation and Skin Conditions – It helps with eczema, psoriasis, and wound healing by modulating inflammatory responses.
- Boosting Energy Levels – Blue light exposure can help counteract fatigue and increase dopamine levels, improving motivation and focus.
- Blood Pressure Regulation – Some studies suggest blue light can help lower blood pressure by increasing nitric oxide production, leading to vasodilation.
Green Light Therapy (Wavelength: ~495–570 nm)
Green light is known for its soothing and balancing effects, particularly for pain relief and emotional well-being.
Therapeutic Benefits:
- Pain Reduction – Green light has been shown to help with chronic pain conditions like migraines, fibromyalgia, and neuropathic pain by modulating pain perception pathways.
- Calming Effects – It promotes relaxation and helps reduce stress and anxiety without causing drowsiness.
- Improved Sleep – Some studies suggest green light exposure before bed may help regulate the circadian rhythm without suppressing melatonin as strongly as blue light.
- Mood Enhancement – Green light has been found to have mild antidepressant effects by influencing serotonin production.
- Skin Healing – It helps with wound healing and can be used for conditions like rosacea and hyperpigmentation due to its ability to reduce inflammation.
Healing Benefits of Red & Near-Infrared Light
Red Light Therapy (600-700 nm)
Red light penetrates superficially into the skin and tissues (up to 5-10 mm deep), making it ideal for surface-level healing and skin health.
Therapeutic Benefits:
- Skin Rejuvenation & Collagen Production – Stimulates fibroblasts, increasing collagen and elastin for smoother, healthier skin. Helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and scars.
- Wound Healing & Tissue Repair – Speeds up recovery by promoting cell proliferation and regeneration.
- Pain & Inflammation Reduction – Reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, particularly in conditions like arthritis, muscle pain, and joint disorders.
- Hair Growth Stimulation – Helps combat hair thinning and loss by increasing circulation in hair follicles (used in androgenetic alopecia treatments).
- Mood & Cognitive Support – Can help alleviate seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and mild depression by supporting mitochondrial function in brain cells.
- Improved Circulation – Enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery, benefiting overall tissue health.
Near-Infrared (NIR) Light Therapy (700-1100 nm)
NIR light penetrates deeper into tissues and muscles (up to 5 cm deep), making it effective for internal healing, pain relief, and neurological benefits.
Therapeutic Benefits:
- Deep Tissue & Joint Healing – Effective for muscle recovery, joint pain, and ligament injuries, making it valuable for sports injuries and arthritis.
- Neurological Protection & Cognitive Function – Improves brain health, neuroplasticity, and mitochondrial function; has been studied for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
- Mitochondrial Energy Boost (ATP Production) – Enhances cellular energy (ATP) by activating cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria, optimizing overall energy metabolism.
- Reduction of Chronic Inflammation – Helps autoimmune conditions, including fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
- Improved Blood Flow & Oxygenation – Supports cardiovascular health by increasing nitric oxide production, which lowers blood pressure and improves circulation.
- Immune System Support – Stimulates immune cells to enhance immune function and resilience against infections.
- Wound Healing & Scar Reduction – Similar to red light but works at a deeper level, making it effective for post-surgical healing and burn recovery.
Designed for Simplicity and Convenience
In traditional light therapy, one color or wavelength is applied, while Inlight Therapy multiple wavelengths simultaneously, with varying penetration depths into tissue. Inlight Therapy’s LED pads incorporate two or three colors, while Inlight’s Progressive Multi-Pulse™ technology introduces pulsed light for enhanced effectiveness and to prevent the healing process from reaching a plateau.
Inlight Therapy systems are designed for simple and convenient use. All parts work seamlessly together in an easy-to-use format. Place the pads near the affected area and press START to begin a 20-minute session. The therapy pads come in different shapes and sizes to fit different needs:
- Straight or flexed joints
- Large surface or small localized areas
The controls are user-friendly with various settings, a timer, flexible pads for comfort, and hook-and-loop straps to help keep them in place. Each system includes a user manual for easy setup, and to begin sessions.

How does light therapy work?
Light is an essential nutrient of life. Using the sun’s light as therapy dates back thousands of years. Modern science has evolved the engineered delivery of the beneficial wavelengths (colors) of the sun’s light into low-level light therapy (LLLT) technology / Polychromatic Light Therapy (PLT).
PLT is delivered via light emitting diode (LED) pads placed on the body that emit infrared, red and blue radiation. The light can penetrate to different depths inside the biological tissue where they get naturally absorbed into cells. The absorbed light can stimulate the energy of the cells for repair and regeneration, improve blood circulation – one of the vital components of the healing process.
