                  Intense Pulse Light Therapy

Not a new or fleeting science, Light Therapy has been used in the medical profession for over 30 years. Aside from the results, the best news is that Light Therapy has no reported side effects - it's considered safe enough to be used in children's hospitals. It is 100% painless, non-toxic, non-invasive and compliments many traditional therapies. Light Therapy has been used to treat:

• Jaundice
• Wounds, Cuts, and Burns
• Mouth and Skin Ulcers
• Gum Disease
• TMJ
• Tendonitis
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Pain

Light Therapy uses red, infrared and other LED (light emitting diode) light wavelengths to heal skin. Unlike a laser, which is a focused beam of light that can be intense enough to "vaporize" tissue, LEDs do not deliver enough power to damage the tissue. However, they do deliver enough energy to stimulate a response from the body to heal itself. LED light is also less concentrated than the "pinpoint" of light in a laser, so the light is dispersed more evenly and the effects are more uniform.

Among the 2,500 scientific papers published on the subject, Light Therapy has made the covers of:

Popular Science (878K) (April 2000)
Biophotontics International (Oct. 2000) (1.8 MB)
