Apparatus for external medical treatment administered with the aid of light, said apparatus including a light-emitting device (1) which is intended to be held against or in the close proximity of the patient's body, and means (8, 9, 10) for driving the light-emitting device, wherein the light-emitting device includes light-emitting diodes or corresponding elements adapted to emit monochromatic light, wherein the drive means (8, 9, 10) is adapted to cause the light-emitting device (1) to emit one or more types of monochromatic light over one or more predetermined time periods and to pulsate the light emitted in accordance with a predetermined pulse frequency or series of pulse frequencies over said time periods, wherein said drive means (8, 9, 10) includes a computer (8) and circuits (9, 10) for driving the light-emitting diodes (3, 4), wherein the computer (8) includes input means (13, 16) for inputting data relating to an intended treatment, wherein the computer (8) is adapted to deliver electric signals to the drive circuits (9, 10), wherewith intended light-emitting diodes (3, 4) function to emit light within predetermined time periods and at predetermined pulse repetition frequencies. The invention is characterised in that at least the drive circuits (9, 10) of the drive means are mounted in the light emitting device (1).
