I would say that infrared light would be a lot better than LED light therapy. Reason is that LED light therapy and cause premature aging, and increase the possibility for skin cancer, it can also cause eye strain, and temporary headaches. Although when using an infrared light use caution, infrared lights can cause heat or thermal injuries, some injuries with no pain. And there are some people like pregnant women and people who are sick that should not use infrared lights at all. In the end I guess it all depends. I hope this helps :)
