What is the MedcoVet Luma?
The MedcoVet Luma is an at-home light therapy system for pets that uses 635 nm red light and 850 nm infrared light to support healing, pain relief, and mobility. It combines a fur-contact optical comb, app-guided treatment protocols, and clinician-backed plans to ensure consistent and effective use. The system is designed to deliver clinical-grade photobiomodulation safely in a home setting.
Pets heal best with consistent therapy. Luma delivers the power of a clinic laser with the safety of an LED, plus a protocol created just for your pet by a licensed veterinary clinician. No guessing. No gimmicks. Just results.

How Luma Works
Red light therapy (or photobiomodulation) taps into your pet’s mitochondria — the part of the cell that makes energy. More energy = faster healing.
Luma uses both:
- Red light (635nm): Stays closer to the surface. Great for wounds, skin issues, inflammation, and circulation.
- Infrared light (850nm): Goes deeper. Think joints, muscles, nerves, and bone tissue.
Here’s what you do:
- Part the fur with the comb.
- Place the Luma flush to the skin.
- Hold steady for 1–2 minutes per spot.
❌ Don’t guess.
✅ Follow a real plan.

Smarter Design. Better Outcomes.
Light doesn’t work if it doesn’t reach the skin. Most of it bounces off fur. That’s why Luma comes with a patent-pending optical comb that parts the hair and gets the light exactly where it needs to go — the skin. No gap. No overheating. No wasted light.
🔬 “Up to 80% of light can be lost in the fur. Our comb solves that.”
— Alon, MedcoVet Co-Founder
That means better results. Faster healing. Less frustration.
Plus, our collimated LED technology means Luma delivers focused light like a laser—without the risks or cost of Class IV lasers.

Clinical Summary
Mechanism
Photobiomodulation uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity, increase circulation, and support tissue repair. Red light primarily targets superficial tissues such as skin and wounds, while infrared light penetrates deeper to reach joints, muscles, and nerves.
Design Relevance
Fur significantly reduces delivered light dose if the device does not maintain contact with the skin. A comb-based design parts the fur and allows consistent skin contact, improving energy delivery compared to non-contact or flat-surface devices.
Best Fit
Common use cases include arthritis, hip dysplasia, IVDD, muscle strains, post-surgical recovery, wound healing, inflammation, and age-related stiffness.
Safety / Use Model
Risk Group 1 (Exempt) eye-safe operation allows treatment without protective eyewear. Treatment protocols are supported by clinician guidance and structured through an app to ensure correct dosing and consistency.
Treatment Pattern
Typical use begins with daily sessions of approximately 10 minutes per treatment area, with many cases transitioning to maintenance use several times per week. Improvements are often observed within 1–2 weeks, depending on condition and severity.
Bottom Line
Effective photobiomodulation depends on wavelength selection, sufficient dose delivery, and consistent application. A system that combines dual wavelengths, fur-contact design, guided protocols, and clinician oversight improves the likelihood of achieving meaningful clinical outcomes.
