When it comes to reaching specific body parts with precision and flexibility, the Visum Light Long Skinny Pad stands out as a go-to tool for light therapy users. Its slim, extended design allows for treatment in hard-to-reach or narrow areas—making it ideal for both people and animals. Whether you’re treating facial tension, sore joints, or your pet’s spine, this pad delivers therapeutic light with convenience, comfort, and cordless ease.
What Is the Long Skinny Pad?
This uniquely shaped pad is part of the Visum Light Flex Pad family, known for delivering professional-grade photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy using red, green, blue, and near-infrared (NIR) light. The Long Skinny Pad was created to offer focused coverage in narrow, elongated areas—places that might be awkward or impossible to treat with standard square or rectangular pads.
Key Features of the Long Skinny Pad:
- Multiple wavelengths:
- Red light (660nm): Enhances circulation and reduces inflammation
- Green light (535nm): Balances the nervous system and promotes muscle relaxation
- Blue light (410nm or 460nm): Antimicrobial and calming to skin and tissues
- Near-infrared (NIR): Penetrates deep into joints, nerves, and muscle layers
- Nogier frequencies: Use individually or with pre-programmed settings to enhance tissue repair, energy flow, and neurological balance
- Cordless design: Rechargeable and portable for use anywhere—no cords to limit your movement
- Flexible form: Wraps around limbs, lays along spines, or fits along facial contours with ease
- Multiple wavelengths:
Perfect for the Face—Here’s Why:
The Long Skinny Pad is exceptional for use on the face due to its narrow design and soothing light combinations. Red and NIR light support collagen production, reduce inflammation, and help with facial tension and sinus pressure. Blue light helps reduce bacteria that contributes to acne, while green light balances skin tone and reduces puffiness.
Use the pad to target:
- TMJ pain and jaw tightness
- Sinus pressure and headaches
- Skin inflammation or redness
- Post-dental or facial surgery recovery
- Facial nerve issues like Bell’s Palsy
With its lightweight, flexible shape, it fits comfortably along the jawline, cheeks, or forehead—allowing precise, relaxing treatments without bulk or heat.
More Ways to Use It—For People and Pets
This pad isn’t just for the face. Its versatility extends to treating various body parts on both humans and animals:
For People:
- Along the spine or neck for nerve pain or postural discomfort
- Around the forearm, shin, or calf for tendonitis, strains, or muscle cramps
- Along the abdomen or sternum to support digestion or chest tension
- Across scars or incisions to promote healing and reduce appearance
For Animals:
- Along a dog’s or cat’s spine for back pain, IVDD, or mobility support
- On a horse’s poll or lower limb to reduce tension or inflammation
- Along the jaw or face of pets with dental issues, ear infections, or allergies
- For smaller animals like rabbits or ferrets, where compact therapy is essential
Whether you’re a pet owner, wellness advocate, or recovering from injury, the Long Skinny Pad offers quiet, non-invasive healing right at your fingertips.
