Method and device using light energy to treat herpes zoster, herpes simplex, and other viral infections with localized skin or mucosal inflammation

A light energy treatment method for target areas of skin or mucosa infected by herpes virus or other viral infections, comprising:

• providing a plurality of light sources which generate light energy having a wavelength consisting of 810 nm and 1302 nm;
• generating a series of light energy from the light sources in pulsed mode with a pulse rate of 300 to 10000 Hz;
• applying the light energy in pulsed mode only one time to the target areas of the skin or mucosa, with the target areas of skin or mucosa being the areas infected by the herpes virus or other viral infections;
• exposing the target areas of the skin or mucosa under the light energy in pulsed mode for 1 second to 2000 seconds the only one time to achieve a power density between 20 and 500 mw/cm2;
• stimulating cell mitochondria of the target areas of the skin or mucosa to generate cellular energy in the target areas of the skin or mucosa for cellular repair;
• and
• curing the target areas of the skin infected by herpes including herpes zoster and/or herpes simplex, and other viral infections with localized mucocutaneous inflammation in no more than two days by using only a one-time low-level light energy treatment method;
• wherein
• the light source is a LED.
