What
is Light Therapy?
PhotoMedicine,
often termed photo therapy, is a paradigm shift in modern medicine
for in addition to drugs and surgery doctors around the world are
now using photo therapy to help the body's cells to heal themselves.
Because phototherapy is stimulation of natural processes within
our bodies with no side effects it is also safe for use at home.
The devices
we feature do not contain harmful ultraviolet rays but on that safe
selected range of light wavelengths which provide balanced biopositive
effects.
Medical
Treatments
Photo Therapy
is valuable treatment to supplement many medical treatment programmes
by supporting the regeneration and healing process through enhancing
the various phases of natural regeneration in the body.
These biopositive
effects are:
- activiation
of local and systemic nircoricrculation - i.e. increasing blood
flow to speed up healing.
- Enhancing
oxygen transporation to the cell membrane - i.e. increasing the
natural healing function of specific cells in the body who are designed
to rebuild and repair.
- Optimising
permeability of the cell membrane - i.e. the better both oxygen
and carbon dioxide can be transported in and out of the cells of
our body then the faster both cells can repair and also the faster
cells can produce new cells.
- Improvement
of cell metabolism - i.e. during the repair process those cells
future function is increased to an optimal level of function.
- Stimulation
of lymphatic system - i.e. our lymph system is as equally important
as the blood flowing around our body because the lymph system is
a network of organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels
that make and move lymph from tissues to the bloodstream. The lymph
system is a major part of the body's immune system.
- Regulation
of our hormonal system - i.e. "The endocrine system refers
to the collection of glands of an organism that secrete hormones
directly into the circulatory system to be carried towards a distant
target organ" SIMPLIFY OR SHORTEN
It does this
by inflammation retarding, pain reduction, improves perfusion and
assists in both the development of new blood vessels as well as
enhancing lymphatic drainage and in addition triggering general
metabolic activity. Put simply : . . . . . . . . . .
The best news
is that because light therapy is a completely natural biostimulative
approach no side effects have been reported through extensive research
as long as it is applied in certified indications.
Light
Therapy Devices
From home therapy
systems for use by private individuals in the comfort of their own
home to hospital systems for use by healthcare professionals here
on this website you can learn about the basis of photo therapy and
how it can help treat conditions from acute and chronic backpain,
skin conditions such as acne and excema to general cosmetic applications
such as fine lines and the approved and certified devices available.
In addition
for qualified professionals we offer low power laser devices for
hospitals and clinics. You can read more about the certification
and also the supporting research by following the links.
