Bioptron Light
Ò TherapyThe Healing Nature of Light
The use of light for healing has a history dating back to the dawn of man. The Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans understood that sunlight played a part in the process of healing.
In 1903, the Danish physician Ryberg Neils Finsen was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in developing a light therapy which could successfully treat a disfiguring form of tuberculosis of the skin.
The Bioptron light therapy system is a sophisticated form of light therapy which acts in a safe and natural way by supporting the regenerative capacity of the body and therefore helps the body to release its own potential for healing. The systems spectrum of light does not contain any damaging ultra violet light. It is medically proven and recognised overseas and TGA listed in Australia.
Bioptron Light Therapy can benefit in the treatment of:-
Pain Management in rheumatology, neck, back and joint pain and sports injuries.
Wound Healing/Tissue Repair for leg ulcers, pressure sores, burns (it is in fact used in the Concord Hospital Burns Unit), diabetic gangrene, wound healing after operations and/or trauma.
Skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, and scar tissue.
Cosmetic uses include fine facial lines, cellulite and general skin care.
Bioptron light is polarised, polychromatic (without UV radiation), incoherent and a low-energy light. This form of light has a biostimulative effect at the cellular level, thus it can
improve microcirculation,
harmonise metabolic processes,
reinforce the human defense system,
stimulate the regenerative and repair process of the whole organism,
relieve pain or decrease its intensity.
The outstanding characteristics of Bioptron light enable the light to penetrate not only the skin, but the underlying tissues.
Bioptron light therapy can be used both as a complementary treatment to support conventional medical conditions and as monotherapy for certain indications.
Today, we have more knowledge of the importance of a balanced diet and good nutrition to support health and wellbeing. Therefore it is no surprise to learn that Bioptron Light Therapy works at its best when your body has a balanced intake of food, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and good, clean water.
