Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) uses therapeutic red, blue, yellow, and near-infrared LED light to reduce inflammation and support the body’s natural healing processes.
By stimulating cellular activity and optimizing cell function, light energy is converted into intracellular energy — helping tissues repair and regenerate more effectively. LLLT is safe, non-invasive, and used to address a variety of eye and skin conditions.
Backed by scientific research, LLLT helps reduce inflammation, improve meibomian gland function, and promote tissue repair. Individual outcomes vary, but LLLT is often paired with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Radiofrequency (RF) treatments to enhance overall results.
A short list of the most common indications — we’ll review whether LLLT is right for your specific case at consultation.
Therapeutic light panels deliver precise wavelengths under a clinical protocol — not the LED panels you’ll find online. Sessions are painless, quiet, and typically 15–20 minutes.
We start with a clinical evaluation to confirm LLLT is the right intervention for your specific condition. Not every patient is a candidate — that conversation matters.
You relax under a therapeutic light panel positioned several inches above you. The treatment is painless and silent — typically 15–20 minutes.
The number of sessions depends on your condition. We track outcomes objectively and adjust as needed — with at-home routines pairing the in-office work.
Unlike cosmetic medical spas, treatment in an optometry office focuses specifically on ocular surface disease, meibomian gland dysfunction, eyelid and facial conditions tied to vision, long-term dry eye management, and medical-grade diagnostic imaging.
Conditions like acne, loose eyelids, rosacea, and skin lesions can contribute to chronic eye and vision issues. Your trusted eye doctor uses an integrative approach to evaluate skin health, eye health, and chronic disease holistically — treating from the inside out.

Low Light Therapy is commonly used to treat dry eye disease, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), ocular rosacea, blepharitis, and chronic eyelid inflammation. It works by improving oil gland function and reducing inflammation around the eyes — and is also used for skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, styes, chalazia, and signs of skin aging via collagen stimulation.
LLLT reduces inflammation, improves meibomian gland function, and promotes tissue repair. It enhances overall treatment results when combined with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or Radiofrequency (RF) therapy.
You simply sit and relax under a therapeutic light panel positioned several inches above you. There is no pain or discomfort.
Each session typically lasts 15–20 minutes. The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated and your individual response — we’ll outline a clear plan before starting.
Yes. In our optometric medical setting, protective eyeshields are used when needed and customized to your skin type and condition. Every protocol is followed carefully by your eye care provider. The devices and procedures we use have FDA clearance for their specific indications.
Many patients notice improvement after 1–2 treatments. The best results are typically seen after completing the full recommended series.
In severe or chronic cases, maintenance treatments every 3–6 months may be appropriate. We monitor this at your regular exams and adjust based on what your eyes need.
Often, yes. Your doctor will review at-home products and routines that pair with your in-office sessions for the best long-term outcome.
Arrive with clean eyes — remove makeup and use the recommended cleanser prior to your visit. If you’re coming from work, we’ll prep you in-office before treatment.
Yes. You can remove them in our office and put them back on after your treatment is complete.
Most IPL, RF, and LLLT treatments for dry eye are considered elective and are not covered by insurance. FSA and HSA spending can be applied. We’ll review costs and any package options before scheduling.
Visits are billed per session and paid in full on the day of service — no large up-front commitment required.
You may not be a candidate if you are pregnant, have an active skin infection in the treatment area, have certain autoimmune or photosensitive conditions, or are taking certain light-sensitizing medications. A full evaluation will determine whether treatment is right for you.
Unlike cosmetic medical spas, an optometry-led setting focuses specifically on ocular surface disease, meibomian gland dysfunction, eyelid and facial conditions tied to vision, long-term dry eye management, and medical-grade diagnostic imaging. Conditions like acne, rosacea, loose eyelids and skin lesions can contribute to chronic eye and vision issues — our team treats from the inside out, holistically.
We'll review your case, walk you through the current evidence, and tell you plainly whether you're a good candidate.
