Bioptron Light Therapy
Bioptron Light Therapy is a cutting edge treatment in preventive therapy, curative therapy and rehabilitation, with no known side effects. It is an effective alternative to drugs that, while being the standard treatment for wounds, injuries and pain, often have associated side effects.
We regularly use Bioptron Light Therapy in our practice to support our massage work.
We also have units available for hire and sale.

BIOPTRON Colour Therapy
Colour Therapy is a way of using colours and light to balance and enhance our energy in order to keep our body, mind and spirit in a state of health, wellness and harmony.
Re-energise & Re-balance
Colour is pure vibration and can increase or decrease our energy.
Colour Therapy must not be expected to replace conventional medical treatments for every pathology, but when you need to re-energise and re-balance your mind and body, colour therapy is a very effective healing method.
BIOPTRON Colour Therapy is a way of using colours to enhance and restore our body’s energy. Colour Therapy works on a holistic level – on mind, body and spirit – by addressing the origin of the health problem (dis-ease), and it helps to stimulate the process of self-healing. It can be used for balancing our energies in order to prevent possible problems.
A widely accepted use of Colour Therapy is in the Northern Hemisphere in Winter. The lack of sunshine can adversely affect feelings of well being, with people suffering from feeling depressed and low. Colour Therapy is used to counteract this.
7 Colour Filters
There are 7 colour filters in the kit: indigo, violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red – each colour has a particular frequency in the visible light spectrum. The filters are handmade in France at the Verrerie de St-Just where traditionally blown glass stands out for its powerful brilliance and higher transparency. Each colour is associated with one of the seven chakras where concentrated energy centres have been shown to exist.
BIOPTRON Light Specifications
BIOPTRON Light
BIOPTRON Light is polarised, polychromatic, incoherent and low energy and operates in the range 480-3400Nm, EXCLUSIVE of the Ultra Violet spectrum. It is not laser therapy which can be dangerous when not used correctly. The specific power density of BIOPTRON Light is 40mW/cm2 at a treatment distance of 10cm. This is equivalent to an energy density (fluency) of an average of 2.4J/cm2 per minute. These properties allow BIOPTRON Light to penetrate the surface of the skin with minimal heating effect, no damage to skin, and no known side effects.

Mechanisms of Action
The main mechanisms of the action of light therapy are:
• Stimulation of neoangiogenesis, improvement of microcirculation
• Increasing the process of phagocytosis
• Stimulation and activation of ATP production
• Enhancement of important specific enzymes involved in cell regeneration
• Increasing the activity of the lymphatic system
• Activation of fibroblast activity and increasing the production of collagen
• Increasing DNA and RNA production
• Reducing the excitability of nervous tissue and increasing muscle relaxation
