UV & Red Light Therapies
What is UV Therapy?
Ultraviolet (UV) Therapy, also known as photodynamic therapy or polychromatic device (PCD) therapy, involves exposing a small sample of blood to different wavelengths of ultraviolet light. This process triggers chemical reactions in the body that can kill viruses and bacteria, boost the immune system, and improve oxygenation.
During the procedure, a small vial of blood is exposed to UV light that targets bacterial and viral cells. When reintroduced into the body, these targeted cells die off, creating a “vaccine-like” effect and promoting the production of antibodies.
Light therapy offers immune modulation benefits, helping to speed healing and increase energy levels.
UV Therapy Treatments
At Lake Oswego Health Center, our team provides personalized UV therapy treatments tailored to your health goals. Our therapy is effective for a variety of conditions, including:
- Viral infections: hepatitis C, respiratory infections, shingles, herpes
- Bacterial infections: drug-resistant MRSA
- Autoimmune diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, lupus
- Chronic conditions: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other immune-related disorders
Hemalumen Therapy
The Hemalumen device uses different ultraviolet light settings to target specific health concerns:
- Red Light — Increases mitochondrial energy
- Amber Light — Improves vascular health, supports mood
- Green Light — strengthens blood cell membranes and improves blood viscosity
- Violet Light — reduces inflammation and boosts oxygen and nutrient delivery
Hemalumen Therapy has been effective since before antibiotics, offering benefits like:
- Stopping virus and bacteria replication
- Improving oxygenation
- Enhancing energy via mitochondrial support
- Supporting lymphatic detoxification
- Destroying pathogens and microorganisms
Red Light Therapy (RLT)
Red Light Therapy (RLT), or cold laser therapy, treats both cosmetic and medical concerns:
- Cosmetic: wrinkles, scars, hair loss, stretch marks
- Medical: psoriasis, slow-healing wounds, chemotherapy side effects
By delivering red and infrared light wavelengths, RLT energizes tissues from skin and nerves to deeper tendons, muscles, and bones, promoting healing and tissue repair.
RLT is administered via a flexible pad and can be combined with hyperbaric chamber sessions, footbaths, or microcurrent treatments for enhanced results.
