The Results of Firefly Light Therapy Captured in Color

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. These images are 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.

Below are some examples of pre- and post-treatment infrared scans. Orange to red warmer colors in the pretreatment images indicates inflammation and pain. Patients experiencing numbness and poor circulation before treatment show warmer colors after treatment indicating increased blood circulation.
