Rapid & Effective Results
LED Light Therapy: Before & After
Firefly Light Therapy results can be compared using infrared imaging, or thermography that reveals increased blood circulation. A baseline infrared image is taken before Firefly light therapy and used to determine the proper course of treatment. This image is then stored on the computer system. After an initial course of 4-6 treatments, the scan is repeated. Changes in blood circulation are noted and used to assess the efficacy of treatment and determine prognosis.

AFTER

BEFORE
Warm areas indicate a severe wrist injury
AFTER
Pain and inflammation are nearly gone
BEFORE
Warm areas indicate foot pain
AFTER
Pain is barely visible post treatment
What Is It’s Role In Injury Prevention?
Firefly Light Therapy as part of a warm-up before physical activity can help prevent injury. The goal of a warm-up is to gradually increase your heart rate and circulation to loosen joints and increase blood flow to your muscles, and laser therapy helps with this process. One effect of light therapy is vasodilation, which is a widening of the blood vessels that promotes blood flow to the area treated. The goal of the warm-up is to get the body ready for more intense activity, and using light therapy enhances this process, reducing the risk of injury from unprepared muscles.
This is especially helpful for athletes who rely on a particular joint or muscle group for their activities, such as a ballet dancer who relies on her feet and ankles to support her body in her pointe shoes or a baseball pitcher who relies on his shoulder. Applying laser therapy as part of a warm-up ensures proper circulation and blood flow to the areas that need it most.
FireFly Light Therapy Helps with Muscle Soreness
Additionally, applying FireFly Light Therapy after a workout can help reduce muscle soreness in the following days. The exact cause of delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is unknown, but the research suggests that it’s likely due to slight muscle damage and a combination of metabolites at higher levels. This causes an inflammatory response—which light therapy is excellent at treating.
Vasodilation combined with increased cellular energy from a FireFly Light Therapy session increases the ability for inflammatory mediators to get to the affected area, allowing for quicker resolution of inflammation and reduced pain from muscle soreness. Repairing the damage done from a workout quickly also helps prevent a more serious injury later.
FireFly Light Therapy can be applied even when there isn’t a specific injury or concern. Athletes need to keep their bodies in top condition at all times, and FireFly Light Therapy is a powerful tool to help athletes stay strong and keep playing.

Don't Let Pain Hold You Back From Feeling Your Best
The weekend warrior is a special species; they spend the week working 40+ hours (usually at a desk) and then get into all sorts of activities over the weekend (or in the evenings). Whether the activities are household chores, gardening, yard work, sports, or working out, they want to fit in as much as possible while they are off from work over the weekend. These activities can often result in aches, pains and injuries and make that inevitable return to work much more difficult.
Even when you do your best to try to avoid injury, eventually everybody has that one weekend where they overdo it. Luckily you can always visit Genesis Light Therapy. Our office utilizes the FireFly Clinic Pro
Light therapy
to accelerate the recovery of these types of injuries. High-powered multi-spectrum works to both reduce the overall pain in the area as well as accelerate the healing process by supplying extra energy to the cells responsible for tissue repair. Unlike lower-powered lasers, the FireFly can penetrate deep into tissues and provide the amount of energy necessary for a therapeutic effect in a significantly shorter time. In many cases, you will feel significantly less pain and have an improved range of motion after your first visit.
If you feel like you have overdone it at some point and don’t want to spend the next work week fighting through the pain, schedule an appointment with your Genesis technician. Here at Genesis Light Therapy, your Firefly technician has been utilizing light therapy for pain
to help people quickly recover from their weekend warrior activities. Schedule an appointment and get out of pain today.
Our team of Firefly technicians work to reduce discomfort by identifying pain at its source, helping you move and live better.
