BioLux

THE RESEARCH


Since its creation in 2007, research and collaboration with experienced researchers has been at the heart of Biolux's DNA.

10 years of INSERM - INM partnership

An exclusive collaboration signed with an INSERM team based at the Montpellier Neuroscience Institute (INM) has enabled Biolux to understand the mechanisms of action of photomodulation.

Biolux expertise

The multidisciplinary expertise of our R&D team has validated the effectiveness of our treatments at different scales.

From research to people

Biolux medical progress begins with fundamental research followed by translational and clinical research to finally be available to humans.
4 fundamental axes
The research and development of photomodulation research programs are based on 4 major axes around which all protocols are developed:
Healing
Inflammation
Regeneration
Pain
In vitro level

Various investigations have highlighted the role of photomodulation in cell migration, proliferation and differentiation as well as in the regulation of inflammation. 

Article published:  Validation of the action of LEDs on the speed of neurite growth of sensory neurons : in axotomy conditions, the speed of neurite growth obtained after LED stimulation has reached a threshold never equaled in the articles available in the literature.

In-vivo level

Transition before the application of stimulation protocols in the clinic; the investigations set up have made it possible to validate on more integrated models, the various results obtained at the cellular scale.

Translational level

Transfer of knowledge and technology in therapeutic application: creation of professional and home care devices for clinical use.

Clinical level

An international clinical study in collaboration with a Brazilian team has been set up to evaluate the effect of photomodulation on the scars induced by abdominoplasty. This study definitively validates the effect of Biolux technology on the 4 areas of research, all involved in the post-surgical healing process.

A constant investment

The continuous improvement and innovation of therapeutic possibilities commits Biolux to continue investing in R&D :

by developing new academic and private partnerships (collaboration with renowned doctors and clinics)
by relying on the multidisciplinarity of its R&D team by offering new functionalities of scalable and ever more innovative devices.
