LightStim ProPanel
What is the LightStim ProPanel?
The LightStim ProPanel (often referred to as the Personal Power Panel in home-use contexts) is a professional-grade,
FDA-cleared LED light therapy device designed for non-invasive skin and pain treatments. Manufactured by LightStim, it's
widely used in spas, dermatology clinics, and wellness centers (including places like Just Hope Healing Center) to deliver
photobiomodulation therapy. The ProPanel features four adjustable panels with a total of 1,400 medical-grade LEDs,
allowing hands-free, touchless coverage over large areas like the face, neck, back, décolleté, or even limbs. It's available
in specialized models for anti-aging, acne, or pain relief, with sessions typically lasting 10-20 minutes. The device is
portable (wheel-base or wall-mount options) and uses a programmable timer for customized treatments. It's UV-free,
painless, and requires no downtime, making it accessible for both professional and at-home use.
Technology Behind the LightStim ProPanel
The core innovation is LightStims’s patented MultiWave® Technology, which simultaneously emits multiple wavelengths
of light from high-powered LEDs. Unlike single-wavelength devices, MultiWave® combines colors in a single session for
synergistic effects, mimicking the broad-spectrum benefits of natural sunlight while avoiding harmful UV rays. Here's a
breakdown:
e LED Array and Wavelengths: Each panel houses LEDs emitting specific, therapeutic wavelengths (measured in
nanometers, nm) that penetrate the skin at varying depths:
© Blue Light (405-470 nm): Targets surface-level issues like bacteria; penetrates ~1 mm.
° Amber Light (590-630 nm): Supports superficial healing and reduces redness; ~2-3 mm depth.
e Light Red (620-700 nm): Stimulates collagen and circulation; ~3-5 mm.
Dark Red (660-700 nm): Enhances deeper tissue repair.
© Infrared (NIR, 800-1000 nm): Penetrates deepest (~5-8 mm or more) for cellular energy and pain relief.
These wavelengths are pulsed or continuous, with the device delivering up to 100 mW/cmé irradiance for efficient
absorption.
« Mechanism of Action (Photobiomodulation): The light energy is absorbed by chromophores (light-sensitive
molecules) in skin cells, particularly cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria. This triggers a cascade:
1, Mitochondrial Stimulation: Increases ATP (cellular energy) production by 20-50%, reducing oxidative
stress.
2. Cellular Signaling: Releases nitric oxide (NO) for vasodilation (improved blood flow) and upregulates
growth factors like VEGF and TGF-8 for repair.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Response: Downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-a, IL-6} while
boosting anti-inflammatory ones (e.g., IL-10).
4. Tissue Penetration: Adjustable panels (up to 180° extension) ensure even coverage, with the articulated
arm positioning for contouring.
The technology is backed by over 20 years of clinical validation, including NASA-inspired research on LED efficacy for
wound healing. It's non-thermal (no heat damage) and safe for all skin types, with built-in eye protection recommended for
facial use.
Expected Benefits to Clients
Clients typically notice improvements after 1-3 sessions, with optimal results from 2-3 weekly treatments over 4-8 weeks.
Benefits are cumulative and evidence-based, with clinical studies showing 80-100% improvement rates in key areas. The
ProPanel's versatility allows integration into routines for skin health, recovery, or pain management. Below is a table
summarizing expected benefits by model, tied to mechanisms:
