Visible red light has to living tissues. Visible red light has been shown to effect many different been shown to effect many different positive changes at a cellular level. positive changes at a cellular level. Visible red light, at a wavelength of Visible red light, at a wavelength of 660-680nm, penetrates tissue to a 660-680nm, penetrates tissue to a depth of about 8-10 mm. depth of about 8-10 mm.

HOW DOES LIGHT WORK?HOW DOES LIGHT WORK?

The principal is through biostimulation The principal is through biostimulation of the cells by pure Monochromatic of the cells by pure Monochromatic Light.  Light is absorbed by the cell, Light.  Light is absorbed by the cell, accelerating tissue repair, thus accelerating tissue repair, thus speeding up recovery time.  This speeding up recovery time.  This method of biostimulation is particularly method of biostimulation is particularly successful in the fields of Dermatology, successful in the fields of Dermatology, Neurology, Physiotherapy and is a must Neurology, Physiotherapy and is a must in the world of beauty and fitness." in the world of beauty and fitness."

Unlike laser technology that relies on high-Unlike laser technology that relies on high-powered coherent light to create heat powered coherent light to create heat energy, LED photomodulation (pulse energy, LED photomodulation (pulse modulation) triggers the body to convert modulation) triggers the body to convert light energy into cell energy without light energy into cell energy without thermal injury to tissue.thermal injury to tissue.

““Using LEDs we can modulate the cells by Using LEDs we can modulate the cells by increasing the energy to the assembly line increasing the energy to the assembly line of fibroblasts to stimulate collagen of fibroblasts to stimulate collagen production and regenerate aging or sun production and regenerate aging or sun damaged skindamaged skin
