Light therapy system and methods of using same

A method for treating a target area or a general area of a subject with light therapy, said method comprising:

• energizing an electrical controller configured to output high and low frequency voltages;
• and
• illuminating a light source in response to said energizing the electrical controller, wherein the light source comprises a first and second light emitting elements;
• wherein said illuminating the light source comprises modulating the first light emitting element at high frequency pulses in a frequency range from 20 kHz to 40 kHz, and modulating the second light emitting element at low frequency pulses in a frequency range from 500 Hz to 20 kHz.

A light therapy system for treating a target or a general area of a subject with non-coherent light, said system comprising:

• a light source comprising a plurality of first light emitting elements configured to output high frequency light pulsations and a plurality of second light emitting elements configured to output low frequency light pulsations, wherein said first light emitting elements are pulsated in a frequency range from 20 kHz to 40 kHz and said second light emitting elements are pulsated in a frequency range from 500 Hz to 20 kHz, and wherein said first light emitting elements are disposed between an array of said second light emitting elements;
• and
• an electrical controller electrically connected to said light source, wherein said electrical controller is configured to power and control said first and second light emitting elements, and said electrical controller comprises:
• a high frequency pulse-width-modulator and a low frequency pulse-width-modulator;
• an adjustable high frequency duty cycle controller configured to control light pulsation cycles of said high frequency pulse-width modulator and an adjustable low frequency duty cycle controller configured to control light pulsation cycles of said low frequency pulse-width modulator;
• an on/off switch operable to activate or deactivate said high frequency pulse-width-modulator and an on/off switch operable to activate and deactivate said low frequency pulse-width-modulator;
• a programmable user interface with a processor and memory, said programmable user interface comprising a plurality of controls configured to activate pre-programmed or custom sequences, frequencies and intensities of light emitted by said first and second light emitting elements;
• and
• at least one direct current (DC) power source and at least one alternating current (AC) to DC power converter to directly power said high and low frequency pulse-width-modulators;
• and
• a programmable timer configured to control delivery of power to said electrical controller to thereby control a duration of said light source being illuminated, a duration of said light source not being illuminated, and a predetermined number of cycles of said light source being illuminated and not illuminated.
