What is Bioptron Light Therapy?

Bioptron Light Therapy is a medical light therapy system similar to VIP Light Therapy with full EU medical approval and is used with great success in various hospitals and clinics throughout the world for healing. Bioptron Light Therapy uses the full colour spectrum of natural daylight (with NO ultraviolet rays). All UVB and UVA rays are filtered out. Bioptron Light Therapy is completely safe, non invasive and has no side effects. The patient will feel a gentle warm heat coming from the light as it works on the skin.

Extensive research has shown that light in this form provides a strong and direct stimulus for the regenerative processes. Because there is no UV emission from the light there is no tanning or burning of the skin during treatment. Bioptron Light Therapy has a proven medical history of over 20 years and in Europe ranks as one of the foremost treatments for burns, wound healing, skin problems and in the treatment of sport injuries.

History of Bioptron Light Therapy

In 1981 a Hungarian research team created a light source that was originally based on laser therapy but worked with a combination of visible light and infrared. The team considered the polarization of light as an important parameter. Based on this technology the Bioptron Light Therapy system was created.

It was as long ago as 1903 when scientists first realised that light could be used for treatment. The use of light therapy in medicine has a long history. It can be traced as far back as the Greeks and the Romans but it was discovered during the 1960's that the polarization of light helps to regulate cell membrane activity.

How does Bioptron Light Therapy work?

The human body is entirely composed of cells. Light emitted by the Bioptron Light Therapy lamp exerts a direct influence on weakened tissue and blood cells. It uses an aspect of light that is similar to part of the spectrum produced by the sun and so uses natural processes as part of the healing. The most important aspect of the Bioptron Light Therapy is the polarisation of the emitted light. Polarised light can be thought of as charged light because of the effects it elicits on any living cell.

Bioptron Light Therapy boosts the immune system, strengthens the circulation and cleans the blood, therefore a number of conditions can be helped during a single session.

What conditions can Bioptron Light Therapy treat?

Bioptron Light Therapy has been used successfully to treat the following:

· Eczema, acne and psoriasis
· Wrinkles, fine lines & scar reduction
· Arthritis, rheumatism, gout
· Burns and scalds
· Poor circulation
· Restless Leg Syndrome
· Leg ulcers
· Sinusitis and blocked airways
· Sports injuries etc
