PHOTOMODULATION

Photomodulation by LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) is one of the non-invasive phototherapy techniques .

It involves the use of light of specific wavelengths at low intensity to stimulate natural biological repair mechanisms.

By offering a range of wavelengths between 470 and 850 nm, Biolux technology uses lights capable of penetrating tissue at different depths to stimulate cells, opening a therapeutic window.

The choice of wavelengths defines the indications for which the technology can be used.

Properties of wavelengths

blue light

✓ bactericidal effect
✓ supports the treatment of mild to moderate acne
✓ regulates the sebaceous glands
✓ purifies the skin
✓ relieves skin irritation and itching

green light

✓ stimulates cell migration and proliferation
✓ optimizes healing

yellow light

✓ stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin
✓ increases cellular metabolism
✓ improves the suppleness and elasticity of the skin
✓ redensifies and restructures the skin
✓ energizes the cells

Red light

✓ anti-inflammatory properties
✓ regulates vascularization
✓ stimulates fibroblasts
✓ regenerates cells
✓ regulates sebaceous glands
✓ prevents UV-induced inflammatory responses.

Near infrared light

✓ analgesic effect
✓ complementary to red light

The key to photomodulation 
control of stimulation parameters

Since its appearance, photomodulation has often been considered as an empirical technique with random results. Ten years of research have made it possible to understand the biological mechanisms induced and have highlighted the importance of controlling stimulation parameters to obtain effective treatments with objective doses. Today, photomodulation is a safe, controlled and effective technology.

  1. Wavelengths
  2. Optical power: This is the number of photons sent per unit area. 
  3. Opening angle 
  4. Treatment distance
  5. Treatment time 
  6. Duration – number of repetitions

To obtain the biological effect of the photomodulation it is necessary to use a range of doses where the effects will be optimized; outside this range, the effect is reduced or even completely inhibited: this is the biphasic effect.
