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.

action of wavelengths on the dermis

  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.
