Light therapy can benefit almost all tissues and organs of the body. The light for these therapeutic purposes is in the red or near infrared (NIR) spectrum (600nm – 1000nm). We can only see light up to 700 nm so we cannot see infrared light. Light has a photochemical effect comparable to photosynthesis in plants. For light therapy to work, enough light has to penetrate below the surface of the skin and be absorbed by cells to exert a sufficient chemical change. During the past 50 years there have been over 1000 published scientific papers regarding the therapeutic effect of light. Therapeutic light may be in the form of a laser or light emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs are used in all types of products from outdoor lights, to computers and light bulbs. Technological advancements in LEDs make them a safe and cost efficient method to deliver light therapy. Unlike medical lasers, Anodyne (and other LED products) do not require either the healthcare professional or the patient to use protective eyewear during treatment. The medical benefits from light therapy is dependent on several factors, primarily: wavelength, power density, pulse frequency and duty cycle (the dose). Clinical results may differ because of changes in the dose, just like medications. Positive results with Anodyne dose formulation are documented in 25 clinical studies published in medical journals. A few words about light therapy dose parameters: Wavelength (measured in nm) is the waveform in which packets of light (photons) travel. This is important because some wavelengths penetrate more deeply into the body where they are absorbed to deliver its clinical benefit. Anodyne uses near infrared at 890 nm for this reason. Power Density is the amount of light power delivered to an area of the body. Anodyne unique diode clusters maximize the power density delivered over each square inch of body surface area treated. Pulse Frequency is the number of times the light turns on and off each second. Anodyne has a pulse frequency of 292 per second. Other products operate at other frequencies. Duty Cycle is the percentage of the time the light is on compared to how often it is off. Anodyne has a duty cycle of about 50%. Anodyne Therapy Increases Circulation Treatments with Anodyne can increase local circulation by up to 3200% percent after just 30 minutes and circulation remains elevated often for several hours even after treatment is over. The following graphics demonstrate that Anodyne treatment can substantially increase local circulation. The images were captured with a sophisticated scientific instrument called a scanning laser doppler [Moor Instruments, LTD], which measures blood flow just below the surface of the skin. Brighter colors (red being the highest and dark blue being the lowest) show greater capillary blood flow.
