Infrared Therapy versus LED Therapy

Light therapy is one of the oldest modalities used to treat a variety of health conditions. The use of coherent light sources (like lasers) and non-coherent light sources (like light emitting diodes or LEDs) have opened new avenues in medical sciences. These light therapies have been used to treat a variety of medical conditions. Infrared therapy involves the use of infrared radiation to produce local heat; whereas LED therapy is a non-thermal therapy used in a variety of dermatological processes, and wound healing.
