What is LED Infrared Helmet Therapy?
LED Infrared Helmet Therapy is the newest, non-invasive brain stimulation technology Life Balance Clinic offers. This advanced treatment uses 320 medical-grade infrared LEDs to project 810 nm near-infrared light deep into the brain — up to 4–5 cm beneath the skull surface. Also known scientifically as Transcranial Low-Level Light Therapy (TLLLT) or Photobiomodulation, this modality is demonstrated to activate cellular repair and improve brain function overall.
The treatment is safe, painless, and free of systemic side effects. Each session lasts 20–30 minutes and has no downtime. Patients recline comfortably while the helmet delivers therapeutic light to targeted areas of the brain.
How It Works — Scientific Basis
The helmet light stimulates cellular energy production (ATP) in brain cells by stimulating mitochondrial function. It enhances oxygenation, improves microcirculation, reduces neuroinflammation, and advances neuroplasticity. All of these processes play vital roles in mental acuity, emotional balance, and neuroregeneration.
Research data show that this treatment may:
- Increase cerebral blood flow
- Improve mitochondrial function and oxygenation
- Trigger anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions
- Activate long-term brain function improvements
What Conditions Can It Help Treat?
LED Infrared Helmet Therapy is used around the world in clinical settings to promote recovery from a myriad of neurological and psychological conditions. It has had positive outcomes for individuals with:
- Alzheimer's Disease and age-related cognitive decline
- Parkinson's Disease
- Post-stroke rehabilitation
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Chronic stress and burnout
- Mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety
Benefits of LED Infrared Helmet Therapy
- Non-surgical and pain-free
- Drug-free treatment with no systemic side effects
- Improves focus, memory, and mood
- Encourages mental clarity and emotional well-being
- May be combined with acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and other holistic treatments
What to Expect During a Session
Each session takes 15 to 30 minutes. The helmet is worn comfortably over the head while the patient sits or reclines. Patients feel no pain during the session. Depending on your condition, the therapy can be prescribed 2–3 times a week or integrated into a comprehensive wellness plan.
