 BIOPTRON Light has biostimulative effects. When applied
to the skin it stimulates light-sensitive intracellular
structures and molecules. This initiates cellular chain
reactions and triggers so-called secondary responses,
which are not only limited to the treated skin area,
but can involve the whole body. BIOPTRON Light Therapy
stimulates and modulates reparative and regenerative
processes as well as the processes of the human defence
system. It acts in a natural way by supporting the regenerative
capacity of the body and therefore helps the body to
release its own healing potential.
BIOPTRON Light Therapy has become accepted as a new
form of treatment in prevention, therapy and rehabilitation
worldwide. It is extensively used by Sports Therapists,
Physiotherapists and many other health care professionals
as a valuable therapeutic method for a wide range of
physical problems. Also, the simple, safe, effective
and non-invasive nature of BIOPTRON therapy makes it
ideal for rehabilitative home use by athletes, sportspersons,
and other sufferers of various acute and chronic physical
ailments.

BIOPTRON FOR PAIN RELIEF
BIOPTRON has proved to be effective for the relief
of chronic and acute pain in many areas. Treatments
are simple and of relatively short duration - simply
focus the BIOPTRON Light over the affected area for
a period of 4 – 10 minutes (see Bioptron Treatment
Guidelines for instructions regarding various specific
pain treatments). Light therapy is believed to reduce
the pain sensation in several ways :
• Improving local blood supply and reducing muscle
spasm
• Reducing the release of certain body chemicals
that stimulate pain receptors (called an anti-inflammatory
effect)
• Inducing the release of endorphins, the body’s
own natural pain-killing agents
• Direct action on nerve fibres to prevent transmission
of pain impulses to the brain
BIOPTRON Light Therapy is safe. To date, through millions
of therapeutic applications, there are no known adverse
effects associated with BIOPTRON Light Therapy.
