PRODUCT BENEFITS
What is BIOPTRON Light?
The BIOPTRON Light Therapy System is a worldwide patented light therapy medical device with a specific optical unit emitting light that is similar to the part of the electromagnetic spectrum produced naturally by the sun but with no UV radiation.
BIOPTRON Light Therapy can act in a natural way by supporting the regenerative and rebalancing capacities of the body and therefore help the body release its own healing potential. Once delivered to the tissues, the light energy promotes the process of biostimulation (which means that it stimulates diverse biological processes in organisms in a positive manner and thereby enhances body functions).
User-friendly and non-pharmaceutical therapy BIOPTRON technology became widely used and accepted in medicine as a user-friendly, effective, non-pharmacological medical device. In over 15 years of clinical research worldwide, it has been shown to be supportive in conservative management of acute and chronic injuries as well as in post-operative wounds. Hippocrates’ healing philosophy has begun to re-influence the medical fields: "Primum non nocere" ("First, do no harm") and "Vis Medicatrix Naturae" ("Honour the healing power of nature"). BIOPTRON Light Therapy System is approved as a medical device according to the Directive 93/42/EEC.

POLARIZATION
BIOPTRON Light is polarized light: its waves move (oscillate) in parallel planes. The light emitted
by the BIOPTRON devices reaches a polarization degree of 95%
 |
POLYCHROMY
BIOPTRON Light is a polychromatic light. This means it contains not only one wavelength (like
laser light) but a wide range, including visible light and a portion of the infrared range. The
wavelength of BIOPTRON Light ranges from 480 nm to 3,400 nm.
The BIOPTRON electromagnetic spectrum does not contain UV radiation!
 |
INCOHERENCY
Unlike laser light, BIOPTRON Light is incoherent, or out-of phase light. This means that the light
waves are not synchronized.
 |
LOW ENERGY
BIOPTRON Light has a low energy density. This energy density has biostimulative effects and
allows the light to stimulate various biological processes in the body in a positive way.
 |
BIOSTIMULATIVE EFFECTS
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.
STIMULATES AND MODULATES
BIOPTRON Light Therapy stimulates and modulates reparative and regenerative processes as
well as the processes of the human defence-system.
ACTS IN A NATURAL WAY
BIOPTRON Light Therapy acts in a natural way by supporting the regenerative capacity of the
body and therefore helps the body to release its own healing potential.
The use of BIOPTRON Light as a therapeutic tool has been popular in a variety of applications
since its development more than 15 years ago.

BIOPTRON general effects
BIOPTRON Light Therapy can be used as a complementary treatment for certain indications.
BIOPTRON Light Therapy can be used as a complementary therapy in:
- the promotion of wound healing
- the relieve of pain or decrease of its intensity
- dermatological disorders and skin problems
- pediatrics
- Seasonal Affective Disorders (SAD)
The outstanding characteristics of BIOPTRON Light enable the light to penetrate not only the skin but also the underlying tissues. Thus the positive effect of BIOPTRON Light is not limited to the treated skin area.
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. See reference nr. 1, 3 and 5. BIOPTRON Light Therapy stimulates and modulates reparative and regenerative processes as well as the processes of the human defence-system. See reference nr. 2 and 6. The BIOPTRON Light Therapy has become accepted as a new form of treatment in prevention, therapy and rehabilitation for the noted medical indications.

BIOPTRON for wound healing
BIOPTRON Light Therapy can be used as complementary therapy for wound healing in the following indications:
- Wounds after a trauma (injuries)
- Burns
- Wounds after operations
- Leg ulcers
- Decubitus (pressure sores)
We recommend consulting a physician before using BIOPTRON Light Therapy in order to receive professional advice as to whether this treatment is recommendable or whether other medical treatment is necessary.

Rheumatology
- osteoarthritis
- rheumatoid arthritis
- arthrosis
Physiotherapy
- low back pain
- shoulder and neck pain
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- scar tissue
Sports medicine soft tissue injuries of muscles, tendons and ligaments like:
- muscle spasm
- sprains, strains, contusions
- ligament and muscle tears
- tendonitis
- tennis elbow
We recommend consulting a physician before using BIOPTRON Light Therapy in order to receive professional advice as to whether this treatment is recommendable or whether other medical treatment is necessary.

BIOPTRON for dermatologic indications
BIOPTRON Light Therapy can be used as a complementary therapy in the treatment of various skin problems, such as:
- Acne
- Atopic dermatitis (eczema)
- Psoriasis
- Herpes simplex
- Herpes zoster
- Superficial bacterial infections
- Mucosal lesions
These types of skin conditions are quite common and most people will experience one or more of them at some point in their life. Although most skin diseases are not life-threatening, they can be very distressing and could have a negative impact on someone’s quality of life.
BIOPTRON Light Therapy can help to promote skin healing and reduce discomfort associated with various skin disorders. This treatment is, painless and simple to use.

BIOPTRON for SAD
Seasonal Affective Disorders (‘Winter Depression’)
The long nights and dull days of winter can cause some people to experience feelings of low mood; this is called Seasonal Affective Disorder – SAD or ‘Winter Depression’. SAD is believed to be caused by an imbalance in the production of a ‘sleep hormone’-melatonin. The increased light levels can cause the reduction of ‘sleep hormone’ production and, thus, reduce the related symptoms.
Light therapy is standard treatment of seasonal affective disorder and related symptoms
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Lowered motivation
- Increased need for sleep
BIOPTRON Light Therapy is providing the effective light spectrum, with no UV radiation with min. of 10'000 lux which is beneficial for the SAD treatment.

BIOPTRON for pediatric indications
BIOPTRON Light Therapy can be used in children as a complementary therapy to reduce pain and promote healing in various types of conditions, such as:
- Pediatric dermal lesions
- Allergic respiratory diseases
- Upper respiratory tract infections
- Musculoskeletal and neurological disorders and deficits
Skin diseases are common in children; up to 15% of children suffer from allergic eczema and skin infections (caused by viruses and bacteria) occur frequently. Skin diseases can be distressing for children (and their parents) because of skin soreness, constant itching, loss of sleep and embarrassment about the appearance of skin lesions on the face or hands.
BIOPTRON Light Therapy provides a child-friendly treatment that can help to promote skin healing and reduce the discomfort associated with skin disorders.
Younger children are prone to viral infections of upper airways (i.e. nose and throat), having the frequent episodes of the illness per year what can result in a significant loss of days in the school.
BIOPTRON Light Therapy can help to treat these conditions by stimulating the immune system and promote healing response.
BIOPTRON Light Therapy is clinically proven and has been used to promote wound healing and to relieve pain and inflammation
BIOPTRON Light Lherapy can be used to treat newborn babies for the condition of dermal affections as phlebitis, decubitis and intertrigo. Very often for the condition of skin rush – nappy ruches by reliving pain and inflammation.
We recommend consulting a physician before using BIOPTRON Light Therapy in order to receive professional advice as to whether this treatment is recommendable or whether other medical treatment is necessary.
