Light Therapy

Verilux, The Healthy Lighting Company™, provides the number one light therapy product in the United States. Light therapy consists of exposure to specific wavelengths of full spectrum light to mimic daylight so the body can reap the benefits of full spectrum lighting on gray days or when it is not possible or practical to get outside. Light therapy lamps are a common solution for Winter Blues due to seasonal light and lifestyle changes. Loss of natural light as a result of long winters, rainy weather, shift work, jet lag or simply not working near a window can produce symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, problems sleeping, carb cravings, lethargy, and lack of concentration, decision fatigue and sluggishness. Verilux light therapy lamps provide full spectrum ambient lighting and stimulate the body’s natural energy enhancers to help us focus, revitalize and energize. Light therapy is also used for regulating circadian rhythms. Once circadian rhythms are normalized, sleep patterns, cognitive functions and energy levels are noticeably and significantly improved. Phototherapy, also known as blue light therapy, has been proven effective in the treatment of acne, and Verilux has been through the 510K process for class II medical devices with its acne light therapy product (see the FDA database for more information). Red light therapy has been used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and Verilux offers an anti-aging product in its light therapy line as well.
