Light therapy
Along with customary and time-tested physiotherapy devices, today’s newer ones appeared recently. One of the representatives of the new generation of such equipment is the lamps of the company Zepter, called the Bioptron.
Light therapy has a fairly large history of application. But to a new level, the treatment of light pulses came after the emergence of such devices as Bioptron. The Bioptron lamp is based on light exposure, which leads to increased blood flow to a specific area of the body. Thanks to this effect, you can strengthen local and general immunity, eliminate allergies, and reduce local inflammation.
The radiation produced by the equipment has a wide range. It is 480-3400 nm. In this case, the light that “generates” the device does not contain UV radiation. Thus, Bioptron affects the skin and the body as a whole is much safer than ordinary sunlight. It is no coincidence that BioPutron has many indications for use. And contraindications for him, at the same time, are not too large.
With rather soft influence, such equipment can lead to various changes in the body’s work. But the effect is especially noticeable in areas that are exposed to radiation. Preferably, the Bioptron lamp is used in dermatological practice, in orthopedics, traumatology, pediatrics and ophthalmology. Although in other areas it can be applied. In general, the indications for using the appliance are:
- skin allergic rash
- Diseases of the musculoskeletal system, bones
- skin diseases of various nature, including acne, abscesses, boils;
- inflammatory processes of the organs of the genitourinary system;
- broncho-pulmonary diseases of a diverse nature.;
- Herpes lesions
- corneal edema, demodicosis of the age, conjunctivitis
Light therapy Bioptron can be used as a monotherapy and / or as an additional treatment. The device is actively used in rheumatology, sports medicine and rehabilitation for the treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, in dermatology and surgery (atopic dermatitis, acne, psoriasis, burns, wounds in diabetic patients who do not heal long, bedsores, trophic venous ulcers, post-traumatic and postoperative wounds, etc.), in pediatric practice (pediatric skin diseases, allergic respiratory diseases, neurological disorders), in cosmetology (healing of wounds, burns, reduction of scars), dentistry (treatment of pain Volyn NGO syndrome, accelerating the healing tissue), cardiology (correcting metabolic syndrome).Particularly valuable is its ability to cope with neurological and articular pains, as well as in the treatment of pain syndrome in lumbar pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, pain in the neck and shoulder girdle. The effectiveness of this technology is due to improved tissue circulation (microcirculation), stimulation of tissue regeneration, normalization of metabolism.
It is proved that the regular effect of light “Bioptron” on the mucous membrane of the nose, reduces the likelihood of the disease of the flu and other acute respiratory viral infections. Also effective is the device in the treatment of seasonal affective disorders (winter depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, increased drowsiness, asthenia)
The Bioptron Light Therapy System is based on more than 20 years of experience, and clinical trials are ongoing. To date, the side effects of BioPotron have not been established. However, as with each method of treatment, there are certain warnings that do not recommend the use of light therapy:
- Hyperfunction of the adrenal glands
- malignant skin and blood formation
- Acute Surgical Diseases;
- Acute cerebrovascular abnormalities
- progressive forms of tuberculosis;
- Epilepsy;
- Organ transplants
Avoid direct light in open eyes from a short distance required at:diabetic retinopathy;
predisposition to hemorrhage (hemophtalm)
To relative constraints, include photodermatosis, decompensated stage of chronic diseases, individual intolerance to light therapy (negative attitude of the patient).
- Hyperfunction of the adrenal glands
