What is Colour Light Therapy

What is Bioptron Light?

The BIOPTRON Light Therapy System is a worldwide patented light therapy medical device with a specific optical unit emitting light that is similar to the part of the electromagnetic spectrum produced naturally by the sun but with no UV radiation.

BIOPTRON Light Therapy can act in a natural way by supporting the regenerative and rebalancing capacities of the body and therefore help the body release its own healing potential. Once delivered to the tissues, the light energy promotes the process of biostimulation (which means that it stimulates diverse biological processes in organisms in a positive manner and thereby enhances body functions).

User-friendly and non-pharmaceutical therapy

BIOPTRON technology became widely used and accepted in medicine as a user-friendly, effective, non-pharmacological medical device. In over 15 years of clinical research worldwide, it has been shown to be supportive in conservative management of acute and chronic injuries as well as in post-operative wounds.

BIOPTRON Light Therapy System is approved as a medical device according to the Directive 93/42/EEC.

BIOSTIMULATION

BIOSTIMULATIVEEFFECTS

BIOPTRON Light has biostimulative effects: when applied to the skin it stimulates light-sensitive intracellular structures and molecules. This initiates cellular chain reactions and triggers so-called secondary responses, which are not only limited to the treated skin area, but can involve the whole body.

ACTSINANATURALWAY

BIOPTRON Light Therapy stimulates and modulates reparative and regenerative processes as well as the processes of the human defence-system.

BIOPTRON Light Therapy acts in a natural way by supporting the regenerative capacity of the body and therefore helps the body to release its own healing potential.

The use of BIOPTRON Light as a therapeutic tool has been popular in a variety of applications since its development more than 15 years ago.

Characteristics

POLARIZATION

BIOPTRON Light is polarized light: its waves move (oscillate) in parallel planes. The light emitted by the BIOPTRON devices reaches a polarization degree of 95%.  

POLYCHROMY

BIOPTRON Light is a polychromatic light. This means it contains not only one wavelength (like laser light) but a wide range, including visible light and a portion of the infrared range. The wavelength of BIOPTRON Light ranges from 480 nm to 3,400 nm. The BIOPTRON electromagnetic spectrum does not contain UV radiation!

INCOHERENCY

Unlike laser light, BIOPTRON Light is incoherent, or out-of phase light. This means that the light waves are not synchronized.

Low Energy

BIOPTRON Light has a low energy density. This energy density has biostimulative effects and allows the light to stimulate various biological processes in the body in a positive way.  

General Benefits

BIOPTRON Light Therapy can be used both as a complementary treatment to support conventional medical methods and as monotherapy for certain indications. 

BIOPTRON can help:

  • Promote wound healing
  • Relief pain and decrease its intensity

The outstanding characteristics of BIOPTRON Light enable the light to penetrate not only the skin but also the underlying tissues. Thus the positive effect of BIOPTRON Light is not limited to the treated skin area.

BIOPTRON Light has biostimulative effects: when applied to the skin, it stimulates light-sensitive intracellular structures and molecules. This initiates cellular chain reactions and triggers so-called secondary responses, which are not only limited to the treated skin area.

BIOPTRON Light Therapy stimulates and modulates reparative and regenerative processes as well as the processes of the human defence-system.

The BIOPTRON Light Therapy has become accepted as a new form of treatment in prevention, therapy and rehabilitation for the noted medical indications.
