Full Spectrum Light Therapy in Philadelphia

Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of light energy. Shorter in wavelength than violet light, UV light is not visible to the human eye, extending beyond the visible spectrum.

Naturally emitted by the sun, UV light is commonly used to treat viral, bacterial, and fungal infections, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue, inflammatory skin conditions (e.g., psoriasis, vitiligo). It is also used to stimulate the immune system, helping the body to fight disease.

In some medical settings, UV therapy is often administered directly to the skin through controlled light exposure. Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) is another form of UV therapy that exposes blood that has been drawn to UV light before it is returned to the body. UBI has been used for decades to address autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, and fatigue syndromes.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is divided into three types—UVA, UVB, and UVC—based on wavelength, nanogram classification (measure of weight), and the distinct biological effects they produce through exposure. 

• UVA (320–400 nm): Penetrates deeply into the dermis or lower layers of the skin, affecting blood vessels and immune cells, further inducing apoptosis in pathogenic cells, and increasing heat shock proteins that assist in protein repair.
• UVC (200–280 nm): Has strong germicidal effects and is primarily used for the sterilization of blood and surfaces. UVC requires careful control, as it can be damaging to human tissue at high doses.
• UVB (290–320 nm): Reaches the superficial epidermis or upper layers of the skin and alters DNA in pathogenic cells, further inducing apoptosis and reducing inflammation spikes.

To the human eye, light appears in a variety of colors. Though invisible UV light provides the most benefits, visible light also carries healing properties. Each color of light emits different wavelengths, transmitting different energetic potential to support healing.

Red Light Therapy 

Red light (620–700 nm) penetrates deep into tissues to reduce inflammation, enhance tissue repair, improve circulation, fight aging, and support cognitive function.

Blue Light Therapy

Blue light (450–495 nm) targets superficial layers of the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria, regulate circadian rhythms, support anti-inflammatory processes, and influence brain areas controlling mood and sleep, supporting mental health.

Green Light Therapy

Green light (495–570 nm) is calming. It has been shown to improve blood flow and oxygen support, aiding in skin repair and reducing lactic acid buildup, reducing the chances/frequency of migraines and finally helping balance the nervous system.

Yellow/Amber Light Therapy:

Yellow or amber light (570–620 nm) penetrates superficial skin layers, improves circulation and lymph flow, and is used for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging.

Purple Light Therapy:

Purple light (380–450 nm) combines red and blue light effects, targeting both surface bacteria and deeper tissue regeneration for skin health. It has been shown to boost collagen, improve wound healing, and even out the skin tone.

• Kill bacterial overgrowth and support microbiome balance
• Improve oxygen absorption and circulation
• Boost immune function and responses
• Reduce inflammation and irritation
• Improve mood and energy

At Meeting Point Health, photobiomodulation is administered as Full Spectrum Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UVBI) during an infusion. When receiving ozone therapy, blood travels through a sterile cuvette that passes through the Full Spectrum light box. This allows the Full Spectrum light to refract against as much blood surface area as possible, energizing and treating the blood before it is re-infused back to you.

We also sometimes pass certain injectables through Full Spectrum light before infusing them during an IV drip—such as NAD, Methylene Blue, and select polyphenols—to enhance their energetic activation and cellular effects. This light exposure helps support mitochondrial function, optimize oxygen utilization, and may improve the overall therapeutic impact of the infusion at a cellular level.

• Chronic infections (viral, bacterial, or fungal)
• Autoimmune diseases (including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and lupus)
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Skin disorders (including eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo)
• Infectious arthritis 
• Respiratory conditions (including asthma and chronic bronchitis)
• Cardiovascular and circulatory concerns
• Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses
• Seasonal affective disorder

Ideal candidates for biomodulation therapy are adults looking for a non-invasive, holistic approach that can help improve painful skin disorders, reduce inflammation, relieve chronic pain, and support tissue recovery.

For most patients side effects are minimal, temporary, and resolve on their own. At Meeting Point Health will review your health history and monitor you throughout treatment to help ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

• Temporary lightheadness
• Mild discomfort at site of injection

In rare cases

• Blood pressure changes
