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.
