Yes. They are approved as medical devices according to 93/42/EEC (the EEC-directive competent for Medical Products). This is the responsible and official European directive for all medical products, which are produced and sold in the EEC.

The BLTS is a medical device technology based on a unique light therapy concept. It can be used for prophylactic treatments, therapy and rehabilitation in a variety of medical areas. More than 15 years of experience and ongoing scientific and clinical research in a variety of applications are providing the foundation of this therapy.

Every device includes a detailed Operating Instruction booklet. Please read it carefully and follow the application instructions given therein.

BLT is being used by medical professionals as well as by end-users. There are three different types of devices available in order to assure the best-fitting solution for every individual need - for the medical professionals as well as for the private home-users.

For leg ulcers, for decubitus (pressure sores), for burns and for wound healing after operations and after traumas (injuries).

In connection with treating medical indications, it is generally recommended to consult a physician before using BLT in order to receive professional advise whether this treatment is recommendable or whether other medical treatment is necessary.

No. The BLT can be applied any time of day. Preferably while you have time to relax and can thus enjoy its biostimulative effect. During the period of treatment regular use is recommended.

Unlike most existing light therapy devices, which are large and clunky in design, The Litebook® is extremely compact, lightweight yet durable, portable, and aesthetically pleasing. The Litebook® also features several innovative elements: bright-white light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and optional DC power supply for use on airliners and motor vehicles.

The wavelength of BIOPTRON Light is 480 - 3400 nm - hence it is a combination of the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum and near infrared light.

In contrast to natural sunlight the technically synthesized BIOPTRON Light provides light therapy with controllable and therefore reproducible parameters.

Light therapy is the shining of bright light into your eyes, typically for a half hour each session. Mood & Sleep Disorder clinics recommend 10,000 lux light levels Since the 1980's, light therapy has become the first line treatment for Winter Blues and SAD. Bright light can also be used to shift your circadian (wake/sleep) cycle, so it is used to prevent jet lag, minimize work shift change fatigue, and help abnormal sleep phase insomnias.

Light Force Therapy uses light emitting diodes or LEDs to produce a unique combination of frequency and wavelength of safe low-level infrared light, which helps to elevate muscle tissue temperature and increase circulation. All of these factors are essential in relieving discomfort and relaxing muscles, making Light Force Therapy extraordinarily effective. Light Force Therapy is free from dangerous UV and laser rays.

Laser Therapy or "photobiomodulation", is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser therapy adds energy to living systems. While we are able to explain many of its molecular and biochemical effects, it also adds energy at atomic and subatomic levels.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is an effective way to rejuvenate the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance. Light-based treatments use a less-intense, broader spectrum of light than lasers, but are effective in treating rejuvenation of the skin. Candela's Ellipse I2PL is the only light-based product that is built specifically to dual-filter light as it is absorbed, thereby generating more consistent results.

Low laser therapy devices are class III lasers or “cold” lasers. Their power ranges are in the range of 5 milliwatts to 500 milliwatts. The K-laser is a high-powered therapy device ranging upto 6000 milliwatts; however, the K-laser is power adjustable from 100 milliwatts to 6000 milliwatts allowing for a wide range of treatment protocols. This power and penetration of the K-Laser system is not attainable with cold laser devices.

Blue and Red light therapy is effective for about 86% of people, so there is a very good chance it will work for you, too.

Bright light therapy involves the regular (usually daily) exposure to a bright light source. Treatments typically involve an artificial light source of accepted therapeutic intensity and having peaks in specific wavelengths, with exposure duration of a set period and distance from the light source.

Light therapy involves exposure to intense levels of light under controlled conditions. The recommended light therapy system consists of a set of fluorescent bulbs installed in a box with a diffusing screen and set up on a table or desktop at which one can sit comfortably for the treatment session. Treatment consists simply of sitting close to the light box, with lights on and eyes open.

Recent studies show that light therapy can be helpful year-round for people who experience chronic depression, unpredictable recurrent depression, or bipolar depression, and the method has been effectively tested in patients using medication and even electroconvulsive therapy. The addition of light therapy to the regimen must be under doctor’s supervision.

Bright light therapy has been extensively researched at leading institutions worldwide for over 25 years. Most people experience no side effects; however, some individuals may experience minor side effects (headaches, eye strain, and occasional nausea) that tend to disappear after the first few days of exposure. Bright light therapy has proven safe and highly effective when used under the supervision of a trained clinician or physician.

Research has shown light therapy can have benefits for various circadian rhythm sleep disorders affecting teens, seniors, shift-workers, jet-lag sufferers and insomniacs, as well as Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS), Bulimia Nervosa, dementia (through regulation of sleep patterns and reducing night wanderings), and non-seasonal Major Depression. Research into these conditions is ongoing at major institutions worldwide.

The issues of light deprivation can affect all age groups. Teenagers and the elderly can also benefit from light therapy to help regulate their body clock which tends to shift forward or backward during those periods in our lifecycle. No. The visible range of light does not produce vitamin D in the body. UV light is needed for vitamin D production.

Each device manufacturer publishes the intensity of their device (usually in lux) as measured at the recommended distance from your eyes. So the lux from a portable device that is 1-2 inches from your eyes is comparable to the lux of a desk-top device that is 18 inches from your eyes, etc.

Intense pulsed light devices aren’t lasers, but they utilize the same principle of selective heating of the follicle to achieve hair removal. They can be an effective method but they may be more difficult to adjust than lasers and may require greater expertise on the part of the doctor.
