Light is an essential nutrient of life. Using the sun’s light as therapy dates back thousands of years. Modern science has evolved the engineered delivery of the beneficial wavelengths (colors) of the sun’s light into low-level light therapy (LLLT) technology. Originally developed by NASA for astronauts who could become injured or ill on long-term space missions, low-level-light therapy is used today as a safe and natural method of treating a variety of skin and pain conditions such as skin conditions, anti-aging, and pain. Biolife Health Center uses LED light therapy by itself or in conjunction with sound and audio-visual entrainment (AVE) therapy, biofeedback, neurofeedback, and other modalities if needed. 

 

Cleared by the FDA for pain management and skincare, BioLife Health Center Polychromatic LED Technology uses light energy to improve cellular health by accelerating the repair and replenishment of compromised tissue cells. It mimics a natural photobiochemical reaction process to deliver safe, UV-free low-level light energy through high-intensity LED devices. Use Polychromatic LED Technology to regain and maintain your body’s natural vitality without the concern of dangerous side effects often associated with drugs and topicals.

What is low-level light therapy?

 

Low-level light therapy is the application of specific wavelengths of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits. The energy delivered is then used to improve cellular performance. Low-level light therapy can be delivered through light-emitting diode (LED) devices or cold lasers. The treatment is non-invasive, painless, requires no recovery time, and can be used on all skin types.

 

Cells absorb particles of light (photons) and transform their energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a form of energy that cells utilize. The resulting elevation of ATP is then used to power metabolic processes; synthesize DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other products needed to repair or regenerate cell components; foster mitosis or cell proliferation; and restore homeostasis. Simply put, the LED light source provides compromised cells with added energy so the performance of the cell is enhanced. For example, fibroblast cells will increase collagen and elastin production in connective tissue.

 

How does red LED and near-infrared light therapy work?

 

With red light therapy, you expose your skin to a lamp, device, or laser with a red light. A part of your cells called mitochondria, sometimes called the “power generators” of your cells, soak it up and make more energy. Some experts think this helps cells repair themselves and become healthier. This spurs healing in skin and muscle tissue.

 

Red light therapy uses very low levels of heat and doesn’t hurt or burn the skin. It’s not the same type of light used in tanning booths, and it doesn’t expose your skin to damaging UV rays.

 

Scientific Evidence

 

Scientists have confirmed that the application of low-level light therapy (LLLT) triggers beneficial cell activity. “Photobiomodulation” (PBM) is the newly established (2016) Medical Science Heading (MeSH keyword) used by the National Institute of Health published research database to describe this emerging science. Research has shown that phototherapy can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, kill acne bacteria, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone, texture, and clarity, as well as ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm, and arthritis.

 

This mechanism of action is a photo-chemical response, not a heat/thermal response, therefore the tissue is safe from thermal damage making the InLight Medical systems both safe and effective.
