Is Valeda™ Red Light Therapy Painful?
One of the most common questions patients ask is whether Valeda™ treatment hurts.
The answer is no.
Valeda™ is a non-invasive light therapy treatment that is performed in-office. Patients sit comfortably during treatment while the device delivers specific wavelengths of light to the retina.
There are:
- No injections
- No surgery
- No anesthesia
- No recovery downtime
Most patients describe treatment as comfortable and easy to tolerate.
Treatment sessions are relatively short, allowing patients to return to normal activities afterward.
