About LED Treatment

Scientifically proven systems for enhanced recovery, pain relief, and performance in horses.

Scientifically proven

Elevating equine health

At LED by CHEVAL we specialise in equine wellness with advanced LED Treatment Systems, developed from scientifically recognised principles of Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). Our non invasive systems use precise light wavelengths to support cell repair, relieve discomfort, accelerate recovery and improve circulation.

Cells rely on constant energy to repair, grow and stay resilient. This energy is produced in the mitochondria; the cell’s powerhouses, in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). By stimulating mitochondria with targeted wavelengths, our LED Treatment boosts ATP production and energises cells, resulting in faster recovery, stronger tissues and improved equine performance.

Why mitochondria matter for muscle repair

Mitochondria are often called the “powerhouses” of the cell because they produce the energy that every cell needs to function. In muscle cells, this energy is essential for repairing microscopic damage that occurs during training or activity. Healthy, active mitochondria ensure that muscle fibres recover faster, grow stronger, and maintain flexibility.

How ATP production affects strength & resilience

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the body’s cellular fuel. When ATP levels are high, cells can repair and regenerate more efficiently, which directly translates into stronger muscles, better endurance, and improved resilience to strain. For horses, this means not only faster recovery after exercise but also a reduced risk of overuse injuries.

Why LED light activates natural healing

Specific wavelengths of LED light penetrate tissue and are absorbed by the mitochondria. This stimulation increases ATP production, boosts circulation, and reduces inflammation, all without invasive procedures or medications. In essence, the treatment supports the horse’s own natural healing processes, helping the body do what it is already designed to do, but faster and more effectively.

Benefits for performance horses vs recovery support

For performance horses, LED Treatment helps optimise muscle function, enhance mobility, and shorten recovery time between training sessions or competitions. For horses in recovery, the same treatment promotes faster wound healing, reduces swelling, and supports tissue regeneration. Whether used proactively or rehabilitatively, LED by CHEVAL systems adapt to the horse’s individual needs.

Tailored wavelengths for maximum effectiveness

Each wavelength has a unique role in equine care. By combining red and near-infrared light in carefully selected ranges, our systems address both surface-level healing and deep tissue recovery, ensuring your horse receives complete and effective support.

660/670 nm (Red)

  • Depth: ~1–2 cm
  • Benefits: Wound healing, tissue repair, improved circulation, reduced inflammation.

730 nm (Near-Infrared)

  • Depth: ~2–3 cm
  • Benefits: Reduces inflammation, relieves pain, promotes collagen & tissue regeneration.

810 nm (Near-Infrared)

  • Depth: ~3–4 cm
  • Benefits: Deep penetration, supports joints & muscles, improves oxygenation & recovery.

850 nm (Infrared)

  • Depth: ~4–5 cm
  • Benefits: Pain relief, lymphatic drainage, swelling reduction, hard & soft tissue healing.

Disclaimer:The wavelength icons are simplified visual representations created to illustrate the relative differences between red and near-infrared light. They are not drawn to physical scale, as the actual variations in wavelength occur at a nanometer level and are not visible to the human eye.
