Biohacking and LED Light Therapy: What I Truly Believe In

Throughout the years, many of you have asked me the same question:
"Do you really believe in LED light therapy?"

And I get it - in today’s world of trends and endless wellness gadgets, it's hard to know what truly works. That’s why it took me a while to write this blog post. I don’t recommend something unless I believe in it wholeheartedly - and unless I’ve taken the time to do the research, consult with experts, and try it for myself.

Over the past year, I’ve had many insightful conversations with practitioners I trust deeply - individuals whose knowledge, clinical experience, and integrity have helped me shape my understanding of LED therapy. I’m so grateful for their time and expertise. Special thanks to:

Paul Kempisty, Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist, I Love Acupuncture
Dr. Darshan Shah and the team at Next Health NYC
Dr. Alex Volchonok, Biologic Board Certified Periodontist and Oral Implantologist, Tetra Dental Studio
Sarah Karaolides, Licensed Esthetician at Sarah Kay Skin Studio
Rachel Brown, Licensed Esthetician and Biologique Recherche Trainer, Mahal Skin Treatment

Their insights and perspectives gave me confidence to share what I now know and believe.

The truth is, LED light is one of the few technologies I deeply trust.
In fact, back in 2017, I was already leading advanced trainings in one of the top spas I worked with, teaching fellow estheticians and practitioners about the healing power of LED light. It’s been part of my philosophy for years - not because it was trendy, but because it truly works.

So, what is LED Light Therapy and why is it so powerful?

LED (light-emitting diode) therapy uses specific wavelengths of light - red, blue, and near-infrared - to stimulate healing responses in the body. These light wavelengths penetrate the skin at different depths, targeting concerns like inflammation, aging, acne, cellular repair, and pain.

Think of it as a non-invasive, natural way to support your body’s own healing intelligence.

LED therapy improves skin tone and elasticity, reduces inflammation, boosts collagen production, supports wound healing, and even enhances mood and energy levels. For me, it’s one of the most profound tools in modern holistic skincare and self-care - a true bridge between ancient healing and modern science.

My Trusted LED Devices & Recommendations

There are many devices on the market, but only a few I genuinely trust because they are backed by clinical studies, scientific validation, and personal experience. Here are the ones I recommend to all my clients and also use myself:

1. Celluma Light Therapy

We use Celluma devices during our professional facial treatments at Liliway. It's an FDA-cleared device backed by research, targeting acne, aging skin, inflammation, and more. It delivers noticeable results while remaining incredibly gentle.

💡 Great for in-studio treatments and healing support.

2. Omnilux for At-Home Use

For those looking to continue their skin and wellness routine at home, Omnilux is my go-to recommendation. It’s now available for purchase directly at Liliway and will soon be offered on our website as well.

Their flexible LED masks are FDA-cleared, clinically proven, and easy to use - perfect for integrating LED therapy into your weekly rituals.

💡 Portable, safe, and effective for home self-care.

3. Biomat

One of my most beloved healing tools since 2020 - especially during my back injury - has been the Biomat Professional. This unique mat combines far infrared, negative ions, and amethyst crystals to promote deep cellular healing, detoxification, and relaxation.

I use it regularly at home for myself and my husband, and it’s been a game-changer for pain, recovery, and grounding.

💡 Ideal for pain relief, inflammation, and energy balance.

4. LED Light Bed & Infrared Sauna at Next Health

Since 2020, I’ve been regularly using the LED light bed and infrared sauna at Next Health, and I always recommend it to my clients. The benefits go beyond skin - they include cellular rejuvenation, energy boost, pain relief, and even mood support.

As part of our Liliway community, you receive a complimentary first session (and more!) at Next Health when you book any bloodwork and mention “Liliway.”

In a world filled with noise and marketing claims, LED light therapy stands out as one of the rare tools that offers true, measurable benefits. Whether you're looking to improve your skin, reduce inflammation, speed up healing, or simply feel more energized, LED is a powerful ally.
