Polychromatic Light Therapy

Low-level light therapy (LLLT) stimulates the process called photobiomodulation (PBM). PBM triggers the release of nitric oxide. This results in increased vasodilatation which brings increased healing oxygen and glucose to tissue. Increased nitric oxide supports various cellular processes to create health restoring and anti-inflammatory proteins. Vasodilation increases local circulation. Effects of increased circulation include:

• Cell stimulation that leads to pain relief

• Improved muscle performance and mental clarity

• Decreased swelling

• Detoxifying effects

While the sun’s light is “full spectrum” and essential for life, the bulk of current medical research is focused on the wide range of wavelengths within the red, blue, and infrared spectrums.

Polychromatic light therapy is the simultaneous use of more than one light wavelength or color. InLight Therapy™ uses two or more light wavelengths in every pad.

InLight systems automatically pulse light through seven different frequencies during each 20-minute session when placed on setting A, B, or C. The exact frequencies vary from setting to setting. Scientific studies suggest that pulsed light is more effective than light which is applied continuously.

Every LED color has a different wavelength. Just as our cells know how to use different wavelengths from the sun, our cells are built to absorb these colors and use them for different benefits.

• Blue light: Contains antimicrobial properties, making it a useful component for skin care and wound healing regimens.

• Red light: Triggers an increase in circulation.

• Infrared light: Reaches deeper tissues such as muscle, tendons, ligaments, and the brain.

Various combinations of these lights create the InLight Therapy low-level polychromatic light therapy system.
