At Savalia Plastic Surgery, we continually explore ways to enhance the patient experience. LightStim® red light therapy offers a non-invasive way to complement postoperative care and support skin rejuvenation for medspa patients. This advanced LED technology delivers targeted wavelengths of light to help support the body’s natural restorative processes and promote a refreshed, healthy-looking complexion.
LightStim® is a California-based company specializing in LED light therapy devices for aesthetic and wellness applications. Its ProPanel system uses 1,400 medical-grade LEDs and patented MultiWave® technology to deliver multiple wavelengths of light across the chosen treatment area.
At Savalia Plastic Surgery, we offer LightStim® as an additional option for patients interested in supporting their recovery after surgery or addressing visible signs of skin aging. Treatment is always personalized to the patient’s goals and needs.
“I just recently had my first EVER facial here and it was so amazing. I had the Hydrafacial and it was so relaxing and my face felt so plump and glowy after. I will definitely be going back again in the future. Can’t recommend this office enough – whether it’s for surgical procedure or skincare, they take great care of you here.”
The cost of LightStim® red light therapy will ultimately depend on how the treatment is incorporated into your care plan. For surgical patients, LED light therapy may be offered as a complement to an individualized postoperative recovery plan. Medspa patients may explore it as a standalone service or add it to other aesthetic treatments in a medspa treatment plan.

LightStim® red light therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to deliver specific wavelengths of light into the skin and underlying tissues. This light energy interacts with your cells and the cellular processes involved in tissue function and renewal.
The LightStim® ProPanel uses MultiWave® technology, which combines multiple wavelengths in a single treatment. The ProPanel Anti-Aging model uses amber, light red, dark red, and infrared wavelengths, while the ProPanel Pain model uses light red, dark red, infrared, and deep infrared wavelengths. Wavelength spectra are measured in nanometers (nm) and penetrate different tissue layers to treat concerns at the cellular level—from fine lines and wrinkles (amber spectrum) to blood circulation and cellular energy (red spectrum) to joint and muscle pain (infrared spectrum).
The device has four adjustable panels that allow for hands-free treatment across different areas of the body, depending on the specific treatment protocol. Unlike treatments that use needles, incisions, or resurfacing, LED light therapy does not intentionally damage the skin. Sessions are designed to be comfortable—even relaxing—and can be incorporated into many different medspa or postoperative treatment plans.
LED light therapy works through a process called photobiomodulation, or the use of light to modulate biology. It’s very similar to the way plants absorb sunlight through photosynthesis. Photons, or particles of light, are absorbed by cells in the body, which energizes them. With more energy, your cells can carry out natural repair processes more effectively.
LED light therapy can support the function of the mitochondria, the tiny “powerhouses” of almost every cell in your body. Mitochondria convert energy from nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is a form of energy cells can use. ATP production slows down as we age. With light therapy, your cells’ natural energy production can get a much-needed boost, fueling them as they perform essential repair and renewal processes day by day.
At Savalia Plastic Surgery, the patient experience and support are just as important as the end result.
LightStim® offers many different benefits, depending on the model and the purpose of treatment:
LightStim® candidates include individuals of all skin types and tones who are interested in the restorative properties of LED light therapy, whether for skin rejuvenation or postoperative care.
You may wish to ask about LightStim® if you:
You may not be a candidate for LightStim® treatments if you have a history of photosensitivity, including migraines or light-triggered skin conditions such as melasma. Patients taking sensitizing medications such as isotretinoin or other topical treatments that increase sensitivity to light also may not be candidates.
At a consultation, our team will evaluate you and determine if LightStim® red light therapy is a viable treatment option for you.
A LightStim® session typically begins with a review of your goals and the reason for treatment. Your provider will determine whether light therapy is an appropriate treatment and select the best approach based on your needs and the model being used.
During LightStim® treatment, the ProPanel is positioned over the target area. Its adjustable panels deliver light without direct contact with the skin, and the programmable timer allows your provider to customize your treatment. A session is generally comfortable, with patients being able to relax, meditate, or listen to music while being gently warmed by LED lights.
LightStim® lists a recommended 20-minute treatment time for the ProPanel, although the exact duration and frequency of sessions will depend on your specific treatment plan.
Premier cosmetic and reconstructive surgery
LightStim® is a non-invasive treatment and does not require a separate recovery period. After treatment, patients can immediately return to their usual activities. Always follow instructions provided by your treatment team.
For surgical patients, the recovery process is determined by your procedure, of course. Light therapy is a possible complement to postoperative care, never a substitute for follow-up visits, incision care, prescribed medications, activity restrictions, or any of your surgeon’s postoperative instructions.
LightStim® treatments have wide applications, so results depend on the treatment goal, the device model, duration and frequency of treatments, and your individual response.
Patients using LightStim® for skin rejuvenation may notice gradual changes in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over multiple treatments. Consistency and realistic expectations are always important for non-surgical treatments.
For postoperative patients, LightStim® may be incorporated into the patient’s recovery plan as a highly relaxing complement to the body’s natural healing processes. It’s not possible to guarantee a faster recovery, and the evidence and approved indications depend on the device and treatment protocol. However, most patients enjoy the soothing warmth in the treatment area and a profound sense of local muscle relaxation and overall calm, due to the release of nitric oxide and endorphins.
If you’re interested in learning more about the rejuvenating properties of LED light therapy, our team at Savalia Plastic Surgery is excited to share this wonderful technology with you.

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.
