All living cells within the body need a macromolecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP serves as the primary energy carrier and without it, all cellular functions cease. When a cell is damaged (through injury, disease or surgical procedures) the cell function is compromised and eventually the cell dies.
Much like a form of life support, light therapy physically stimulates the basic energy processes in the Mitochondria (energy compartments) of each cell. Simply put, the light therapy gives each cell a helping hand in its healing process. With light therapy the Mitochondria in the damaged cells are provided with a source of introduced photon energy which in turn leads to the synthesis of ATP (cell energy) and thus the cell has an increased chance of survival and repair.
When near-infrared light is used, wavelength sensitive constituents inside the cell (chromophores, cytochrome systems) are activated. Optimal light wavelengths (proven in prior studies of laser and LED light (3-11) to speed wound healing, range between 640nm and 880nm. These wavelengths can be produced accurately by LED-based devices.
How Much Light?
Many clinical practitioners are not experts in light therapy and have great difficulty in calculating or choosing doses for effective treatments. In most cases this is the biggest deterring factor for the use of light therapy devices in healing. For example, under- stimulation will have little or no effect and over-stimulation can undo the good that the correct dosage would have achieved. There is a Therapeutic Window of dosing, viz. 0,1-10J/cm2 , that has proven biostimulatory effects in tissues. The treatment dose is the most important parameter in successful treatment of pathological conditions.
Introducing Sanoskin® Photizo™ LED Light Therapy Device
The design of the Sanoskin® Photizo™ LED light therapy unit evolved around the needs and feedback of clinicians who identified the need for an easy to use, affordable, portable but robust LED light therapy device. An important factor in the design is that it also includes high power diodes resulting in quick and effective treatments.
Sanoskin® Photizo™ incorporates built-in treatment protocols providing light therapy dosages which fall within the therapeutic window mentioned previously, emitting the optimal light wavelengths for many medical conditions which have been proven to be treatable by light therapy.
Sanoskin® Photizo™ LED light therapy offers an exciting, affordable, non-invasive, ancillary approach to the treatment of wounds, infectious or inflammatory conditions.
By speeding up recovery, the overall cost of treatment is significantly reduced, especially in cases of long term chronic, hard to heal wounds.
