This can be natural sunlight or specially designed light devices. It is a scientifically based treatment method in which light of a certain wavelength is used to regulate the functions of the human body and improve health. Simply put, it is a controlled exposure to light on the skin or eyes, which can have a positive effect on mood, skin condition, sleep and even immunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This therapy is not new \u2013 it has long been used in medicine: neonatology (neonatal jaundice), dermatology (psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema) and psychiatry (mood disorders, especially seasonal depression). Today it is also gaining popularity in aesthetic and regenerative medicine (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31351884\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><em>Elmets et al., 2019<\/em><\/a>; <em><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/treatments\/21137-light-therapy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Cleveland Clinic<\/a><\/em>). Light therapy is becoming increasingly relevant <strong>In Lithuania<\/strong>, where the long dark season, lack of sunlight, and the increasing prevalence of skin and psychological disorders encourage the search for non-invasive, safe, and effective solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we will clearly explain, <strong>What is light therapy, how does it work and what are its basic principles?<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About light therapy (phototherapy)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Light therapy (phototherapy) is a treatment method that uses artificial or natural light to influence biological processes in the body. During phototherapy, light energy is converted into a biological signal that stimulates cell activity, hormone release, or the reduction of inflammatory processes. This principle is widely used in dermatology (treatment of psoriasis, acne), correction of sleep disorders, and mental health (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK279152\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">National Institutes of Health (NIH<\/a><\/em>)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key facts about light therapy:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Specific wavelengths of light are used (blue, red, infrared);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The therapy works through the skin or

class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does light therapy work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different light waves can affect our bodies in very different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mitochondrial activation<\/strong> \u2013 red and infrared light stimulates mitochondria, increasing ATP production, which accelerates healing and tissue regeneration (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/B9780128150047000068\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Hamblin, 2016<\/a><\/em>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulation of circadian rhythms<\/strong> \u2013 bright white or blue light helps normalize the sleep-wake cycle (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychiatry.org\/patients-families\/depression\/light-therapy\" title=\"\">American Psychiatric Association, 2021<\/a><\/em>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Correction of skin processes<\/strong> \u2013 ultraviolet light (UVB) is used to treat psoriasis, vitiligo or dermatitis (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31351884\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><em>Elmets et al., 2019<\/em><\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These processes explain why different types of light are used to solve different
