(Figure 1) A phototherapy device and method of use are provided for delivering light-based skin therapy treatment using light-emitted diode ("LED") light therapy. The device includes a body defining a treatment surface configured to in use face the at least part of the subject; a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged on the treatment surface and configured to irradiate the at least part of the subject, said plurality of LEDs configured to emit red and near infrared light at two or more wavelengths selected from the group consisting of 630nm, 645nm, 660nm, 81Onm, 830nm and 850nm; and a controller operatively associated with the body and electrically coupled to the plurality of LEDs for controlling radiant energy emitted from the LEDs, including selection of desired wavelength combinations of two or more wavelengths and luminous flux of the radiant energy emitted. * Figure 1
