Light Therapie, Photorejuvenation and Phototherapie
Phototherapie also known as Light Therapie is a new science which has totally captivated doctors, researchers and dermatologists. While the science has many applications - Light Therapy, IPL, LED treatment, SAD, Blue and Red Light treatments - they all have one thing in common, the application of the healing power of light. While Phototherapy one of the fastest growing segments is within the cosmetic industry is it still relatively unknown. Expect that to change as more people learn how light, 100% natural and 100% safe can really heal.
The light you see every day consists of a great many different colors. You might have seen how light is broken into colors when it shines through a prism or in a rainbow. Phototherapy is based on the scientific proof that all these different wavelengths have different properties. Research has shown that Light Therapy has amazing results when used for acne, anti-aging, pain treatment, depression, hair regrowth and hair removal. Phototherapy has grown into a safe and effective method, used by doctors, beautician, dermatologists, physiotherapists around the world.
Where does Light Therapy come from?
NASA researchers first used LED light to study plantgrowth in space. It was known that gravity, or lack thereof, disturbed the natural growth process in cells. As a result the growth process slows, bonemass reduces, muscles atrofy and woundhealing ceases. The near-infrared light (N-IR / 880nm) light in the test LEDs increased the energy levels in the mitochondira of exposed cells, rekindling the natural cell growth processes.
The promise of LED Technology and Phototherapy moved researchers to apply Light Therapy to a wide range of ailments, from infected wounds, skindisorders, skinburns to (pre)cancerous cells. One of the findings was that longer wavelengths penetrate the skin deeper (e.g. the N-IR 880nm light in the DPL system penetrates 4cm / 2inches in the skin) without the (potential) dangerous heat generated by lasers.
NASA research has spurned researches, scientists and physicians to search for safe and effective treatment methods. Even since that research started over 30 years ago, every study confirmed NASAs original findings, light heals!
