Scientific research and studies about LED Treatment and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
Treatment with red and infrared LED lights, also called Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and Photobiomodulation (PBM), is proven in scientific studies to help the body recover, heal and perform better.
The results from treatment with LLLT are scientifically proven in over 4.000 academic studies. Below, we are linking to a selection of these studies.

Effects on back pain in horses
In this study, you will find proof that the light treatment produces significant reductions in back pain, epaxial muscle hypertonicity, and trunk stiffness in horses.

The optical window
This study presents the optical window and shows which wavelengths have been proven to have the best effect on the body.

Laser vs LED
This study compares laser with LED and shows that LED can have the same positive effects as laser treatment.

Anti-inflammatory effects
Red light with wavelengths 660 and 684 are proven in this study to be effective in reducing edema formation and inflammatory cell migration, with a significantly lower number of inflammatory cells in the muscular and conjunctive sub-plantar tissues.

Blue light
These studies explain why we at LED by Cheval don’t use blue light. Blue light can barely penetrate the skin and tissue, can be damaging, and even develop resistance in bacteria if it is used repeatedly.
