At Eastern Healing Solutions in Overland Park, we now offer LED Light Therapy as a natural, non-invasive complement to acupuncture and holistic treatments. Using professional-grade Celluma® LED panels, we deliver targeted light wavelengths to support healing from the inside out.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, persistent skin issues, or sluggish recovery from injury, Light Therapy helps restore balance at the cellular level — safely, gently, and effectively.
What is Red Light Therapy?
LED Light Therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) is a scientifically backed treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to activate the body’s natural healing response.
Unlike high-heat lasers or UV-based treatments, LED therapy uses gentle, low-level light energy that’s absorbed by your cells — much like plants absorb sunlight. This triggers a cascade of natural processes, including:
- Increased ATP (cellular energy) production
- Enhanced blood flow and circulation
- Reduction of inflammation
- Acceleration of tissue repair and regeneration
In other words, the light helps your body do what it’s already trying to do — but faster, more efficiently, and with less discomfort.
How LED Light Therapy Works
We use the Celluma PRO®, a flexible LED light panel cleared by the FDA to treat a variety of conditions. Depending on the concern being addressed, we use one or more of the following light wavelengths:
- Blue light (465nm): Targets acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface to reduce breakouts and inflammation.
- Red light (640nm): Stimulates collagen, reduces fine lines, and encourages circulation — great for skin rejuvenation and pain relief.
- Near-infrared light (880nm): Penetrates deeper layers to address chronic joint or muscle pain, support injury recovery, and calm inflamed tissues.
Each session is painless and takes approximately 30 minutes. Many patients describe it as warm, calming, and deeply relaxing — almost like a light bath for your body.

Why Choose Light Therapy at an Acupuncture Clinic
As acupuncturists, our goal is always to treat the root of imbalances while supporting the body’s ability to heal itself. Light Therapy is a perfect complement to that philosophy.
We’ve found that adding LED Light Therapy to our treatment plans:
- Speeds up healing from injuries or inflammation
- Enhances the effects of acupuncture for pain relief
- Supports natural detoxification
- Improves skin tone and clarity alongside facial acupuncture
- Encourages more visible results when addressing cosmetic concerns
It’s non-invasive, drug-free, and requires no downtime — making it an ideal modality for patients who want lasting relief without side effects.

What to Expect During a Red Light Therapy Session
A typical Light Therapy session lasts about 30 minutes, and can be done:
- On its own
- Before or after acupuncture
- In combination with other therapies like massage, cupping, or Gua Sha
You’ll lie back and relax while the flexible Celluma panel is placed over the treatment area. Most patients feel a gentle warmth and calming effect — there’s no pain, no heat, and no side effects.
While some patients notice benefits after just one session (like smoother skin or less stiffness), most conditions respond best to a series of treatments. During your consultation, we’ll recommend a treatment frequency that fits your condition and wellness goals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Light Therapy safe for everyone? Yes — LED Light Therapy is FDA-cleared, safe for all skin types, and free of UV rays. However, we may avoid it in certain situations (like active cancer or light sensitivity disorders).
How many sessions do I need? This depends on the condition. For example, acne may respond within 2–3 sessions, while joint pain may require 6–10 treatments. We’ll guide you based on your health history and response to treatment.
Can Light Therapy replace acupuncture? While powerful on its own, Light Therapy is often most effective when combined with acupuncture — especially for pain, inflammation, and skin conditions. It’s not a replacement, but a synergistic tool.
Will I need downtime? No, you can return to your normal activities immediately after your session.
