What is light therapy?

PhotoMedicine is a paradigm shift in modern medicine: in addition to drugs and surgery, doctors use light to help the body's cells heal themselves. Light Therapy UK distributes award-winning and patented PhotoMedicine technology manufactured in Switzerland called the BIOPTRON Light Therapy Systems.

The History of Light Therapy

NEW WAVE IN HEALTHCARE

Over the past couple of decades professionals and patients alike have welcomed a wealth of change and improvements in healthcare, in the scientific world with research highlighting the efficacy of various new treatments. Some of these harness the most modern state of the art approaches whilst others draw on natural resource as old as time.

The BIOPTRON Light Therapy System is a powerful light therapy technology demonstrating a remarkable degree of visionary commitment. In the early 1980's a team of scientists discovered the significance of polarized polychromatic light. Based on this research the BIOPTRON Light Therapy System was created. 2 Since 1988, BIOPTRON AG based in Switzerland had invested further sophisticated research and new product developments necessary to achieve optimal clinical effectiveness in a wide range of light therapy treatments.

Consequently, the BIOPTRON Light Therapy Systems draw on more than 20 years of experience and are used worldwide by physicians, nurses in hospitals and clinics and by families and individual users at home.

The patented technology of the BIOPTRON Light therapy System enables clinical success with consistently remarkable result in the prevention and treatment of various medical disorders. High-quality Swiss technology and innovative design with an easy to use system and no known sides effects means that this effective light therapy system may be used with confidence.

Light is energy we can see, and cellular mitochondria can absorb and use that energy to work more efficiently. The science is sound and has been studied by NASA doctors and scientists around the world for more than two decades.

Unique Technology of the BIOPTRON Light

Light must be absorbed to produce a biological response and different tissues and cells in the body have unique light absorption characteristic which determine which wavelengths of light will be absorbed to produce a given therapeutic effect.

Also the different wavelengths can affect different tissues and cells in the body and this is why BIOPTRON Light Therapy Systems combine several wavelengths in one unit. BIOPTRON Light uses a combination of visible and low infrared that are beneficial in the treatment of different conditions.

The Physics of Light Therapy

tochondria can absorb and use that energy to work more efficiently. The science is sound and has been studied by NASA doctors and scientists around the world for more than two decades. The beneift of light extends far beyond our own personal sense of comfort and well being. It is an essential part of our natural biological system necessary for the proper functioning of both our metabolic as well as immune system. Most enzymes, hormones and vitamins need light o function properly. An example know to everyone is the relationship between sunlight and vitamin D. Without sunlight our body cannot produce vitamin D and its deficiency can cause the condition known as rickets. Another example of how many enzymes in our body rely on light for activation are the enzymes responsible for healing jaundice in newborn babies. Such babies with jaundice are placed under a special blue light source to cure their disease. >>back to top
