The Vast Benefits and History of Light Therapy

Light therapy goes back a lot further than you may think; the ancient Egyptians basked in the sun to restore their energy and balance and physicians prescribed different colours of light for different ailments. The ancient Greeks even built a centre named the Heliopolis, or the City of Light specifically so people could get exposure to filtered light. In modern medicine, light therapy is commonly used for everything from muscle recovery of sports people, to treating Alzheimer’s; studies on mice have shown that flashing light therapy reduced the risk of developing proteins that attack and destroy healthy brain cells.

How Does Polarised Light Therapy Work and How is it Different from Other Light Therapies?

The clinically tested and proven benefits of using the ActiveBIO Polarised Light Therapy Lamp are many. Polarised Light Therapy (PLT) is a phototherapeutic treatment whereby specially filtered (polarised) light radiation is used to treat disease and injury. When light is polarised, it causes the individual light particles (photons) to vibrate and travel in the same direction. This allows for deeper and more targeted penetration into the body through the skin. Whilst most phototherapies such as Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) only utilise one specific wavelength (colour) of light, PLT uses a broad spectrum which closely emulates natural sunlight. Like any living plant or creature, natural light is vital to our health and wellbeing, and a lack thereof can impact everything from our immune function to our state of mind.  

Reduce the Appearance of Scars, Heal Wounds and Speed Up Muscle Recovery Quicker with Polarised Light Therapy

This lamp is ideal for those wanting to speed up the healing process of scars, wounds, pressure sores and physical injuries to the muscles or ligaments. The polarised light penetrates the skin and invigorates the skin cells and soft tissue. It greatly encourages the regeneration of new skin cells thus accelerating wound and scar healing, and increases blood flow to soft tissue, muscles and ligaments which result in much faster repair from exercise or injury. Oxygen in your blood is what helps your skin cells, muscles and ligaments to repair themselves, so by increasing blood flow to the area; you are feeding the skin, muscles and ligaments with vital oxygen needed for quicker healing.

Polarised Light Therapy for Pressure Ulcer Treatment

A four-week clinical study of 40 individuals with pressure ulcers ranging from stage 1 to stage 3 proved the efficacy of polarised light therapy in healing pressure sores. 50% of the group were treated with standard wound cleaning and dressing alone, while the other 50% received polarised light therapy to their wounds in addition to standard wound cleaning and dressing. Of the 20 participants who received PLT, there was a significant improvement in pressure ulcer healing.
