LIGHT BASED THERAPY DEVICES AND METHODS

The present invention relates to a light therapy device article of manufacture, system and method for providing light is delivered to the skin by means of one or more optical fibers in therapeutic dosages from light source in wavelengths of 614-624 nm, 668-684 nm, 751-772 nm, and 813-846 nm. The light source may be comprised from one or more light emitting diodes LED disposed on a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) and ferrule adapter assembly configured to deliver light to the skin directly of the patient from the light source disposed on the PCB adjacent a scalp surface. A control circuit operably connected to the PCB is adapted to provide energy to one or more zones of LEDs to address hair loss treatment regimen including splotchy balding, receding hairline balding, crown balding and total scalp surface therapy. Accordingly, a portable, cordless, hands-free light therapy device may configured as a headdress to be worn by the patient to minimize the negative psychological association of hair loss, while still providing effective hair growth treatment at an affordable price.
