HOW IT WORKS
THREE MAIN WAYS:

LOW LEVEL LIGHT THERAPY WORKS WITH THE BODY

  • The photon energy is absorbed by the cells, which causes increased
    circulation and oxygen flow while releasing toxins.
  • The energy from the lights stimulate the acupressure points
    throughout the body releasing any blockages that may hinder the
    healing process.
  • The lights work with the bio-magnetic energy field around the person
    or animal realigning any imbalances that inhibit the body’s ability to
    heal.  By keeping the bio-magnetic field around the body in balance,
    the body is less likely to sustain illness and injury.

UNDERSTANDING WAVELENGTH AND PULSATION

WAVELENGTH
Light travels in the form of a wave.  The wave is measure in terms of
wavelength.  The more waves which occur within a given distance, the
shorter the wavelength is said to be.  Each type (or frequency) of light
displays different therapeutic benefits.  The most common frequencies
utiliized in phototherapy and in studies are Infrared and Visible Red Light.

INFRARED
The longest wave identified by a measurement and is invisible to the human
eye.  One wave occurs for every inch traveled by the infrared light.  Infrared
light penetrates to a depth of about 30-40 mm, which makes it more
effective for bones, joints, deep muscles, etc.

VISIBLE RED
Shorter than infrared light with respect to wave length.  For every inch the
light travels, a wave and a half exist.  Visible red light penetrates to a depth
of about 8-10 mm -- it is very beneficial in treating problems close to the
surface such as wounds, cuts, scars, trigger and acupuncture points and is
particularly effective in treating infections.

PULSATION FREQUENCY
Pulsation frequency refers to the number of seconds the light (wavelength)
is on and off (measured in Hertz, Hz).  The usual duty cycle, often referred
to as the Theta Range, means that the light is on for 1 second and off for 1
second.  A higher frequency (faster pulsation) means the light is on for half
a second and off for half of a second.  Both add up to 2 seconds, but the
light will be on/off more times at the higher frequency.  It has been shown in
studies that with a high-duty cycle, LEDs (like those used in the PainX 2000
products) provide a much gentler delivery of the same healing wavelengths
of light, as does the laser, but at a substantially greater energy output.  For
this reason, LEDs do not have the same risk of accidental tissue damage
that lasers have.
