What Technologies Are Used In Light Therapy Device
“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity!!” The way technology has evolved is truly remarkable. And the new advancements of technology will surely keep amazing us in the future as well.
But have you ever wondered what sort of technologies are used in light therapies?
The therapy which has cured so many disorders among people must have a high tech isn’t it?
That’s the reason why this article is here for you!!
This will guide you with information you need to know about the technologies and configurations used in different types of light therapies.
What Is A Light Therapy?
Table of Contents
In short, these are actually lamps that mimic the sunlight. This therapy has other names such as Happy Light Therapy, Light Box Therapy, etc.
So before we move further in the article, let’s be clear about one thing!!
We all need sunlight to live a healthy life. Our exposure to sunlight, aids the production of a variety of vitamins and minerals including melatonin and serotonin which directly affects our energy levels and emotions.
Areas where there are fewer sunlight exposures that is where Bright Light Therapy comes in handy. As many people are deprived of sunlight, so this Bright Light Therapy acts as artificial sunlight. Thus substituting the essential elements of the natural sunlight like melatonin and serotonin.
Types of Light Therapy With Their Designed Techs And Configurations.
There are different types of home light therapy devices in the market. All are different in their own ways. And their designs and classifications also vary due to the differences in the technologies being used.
1. Near-Infrared Therapy (NIR)
Near-infrared light (NIR) wavelengths are comparatively larger than the red light wavelengths.
This device has the ability to penetrate through the skin even deeper due to its high penetrable effect. It can easily go through the tissues, repair and speed up the wounds. This device has a wavelength measure between 700 nm and 1,100 nm. These devices are designed with LED (Light Emitting Diodes) bulbs to deliver more precisely adjusted wavelengths so that the light can fall onto the targeted parts of the skin.
2. Blue Light Therapy
Blue light therapy devices are not as powerful as NIR devices. As these don’t have the ability to penetrate through the skin. But it does have an intense effect on skin conditions like acne and sun damages.
The blue light wavelengths have been shown to effectively kill the bacteria found in skin acnes. This is one of the best devices for this job. Although, this device is perfectly used in dermatologist’s offices as their blue light device is more precise and advanced, so it can do the job more effectively.
3. Green Light Therapy
Green light therapy devices are just ideal for migraine patients. This device is designed for this very purpose, as you can see the green light actually represents nature and is also a calming color for the eyes.
The device is actually a thin lamp with a green led strip, and patients sit in front of the light in a dark room for at least two hours.
According to many patients, the frequency and the intensity of this is very calming and it instantly relieves them with the pain. Patients also reported that the migrane symptoms are likely to lessen compared to other colors of light.
However, the technology used in green light therapy devices are still being improved and will surely be a more astounding device in the future.
4. The Bio Model Therapy And Its Comparisons.
These light therapy devices are undoubtedly one of the best devices in the market. Now, I’ll be showing you a few of the comparisons between these bio models. And it’ll surely help you to know the differences when you try to purchase anyone of these.
- Bio 300
Bio 300 has an LED Power of 300W. It’s the weakest among the bio model therapy devices.
