What is polychromatic light therapy (PLT)?
Polychromatic light therapy (PLT) is the simultaneous use of two or more wavelengths of light (color) provided by light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Researchers call the biological effects of PLT photobiomodulation (PBM).
PLT delivered via light-emitting diodes at various wavelengths penetrates tissue to different depths and is naturally absorbed by the cells to assist in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy required for cell repair and regeneration. PLT energy application also facilitates the release of nitric oxide, supporting the body with improved circulation. Improved circulation (blood flow) is one of the most vital components of the healing process.
What is photobiomodulation?
The key to understanding how polychromatic light therapy works is called photobiomodulation.
PHOTO (light)
BIO (biology)
MODULATION (change)
Our cells actually require light for optimal function which means our bodies need light for optimal health. The body understands pulsed light as an instruction set triggering the release of nitric oxide and signaling the cell to produce anti-inflammatory and restorative proteins. Most notably, the Nobel Prize-winning signaling molecule nitric oxide is released with PLT.
PLT is delivered via pulsed frequencies. These pulsed rates are another important instruction set used by the body to stimulate its self-healing processes. Inlight Therapy PLT systems deliver the healing benefits of polychromatic light using their Progressive Multi-Pulse™ technology.
PLT triggers the release of nitric oxide which increases circulation to relieve pain and stimulates the body’s innate healing processes.
Pain Relief & Wellbeing
Many people with symptoms of pain or impaired circulation associated with the following conditions experience positive results from using polychromatic light therapy:
- Joint pain: neck, back, knuckles, elbow, knee, wrist
- Inflammation and swelling
- Bone fractures
- Bruises
- Burns
- Non-healing wounds
- Tight muscles
- Mood disorders
- Skin conditions
The more we understand the value of increasing circulation to our tissues, the easier it is to understand how and why low-level polychromatic light therapy supports the body’s innate healing processes regardless of the condition. And, why PLT provides a wealth of additional health benefits that support full-body wellness.
How does polychromatic LED technology work?
Thirty years (and counting) in the manufacturing of LLLT devices, Inlight Therapy products are the state-of-the-art outcome of this evolution uniquely designed as polychromatic light-emitting diodes technology (PLT) with Progressive Multi-Pulse™ delivery. Polychromatic light therapy is a unique therapy that harnesses the powers of near-infrared light. Unlike normal blue, red or yellow light, near-infrared (also known as NIR) light is invisible to the human eye. It emits special wavelengths of light energy that dramatically increase circulation to areas of chronic pain. The NIR light has been reported to dilate blood vessels at the site of treatment. The result tends to be a more rapid relief of discomfort, improvement in sensation, and regeneration of damaged tissues.
PLT initiates the photobiomodulation process which releases nitric oxide – gently increasing circulation (blood flow) throughout the body delivering vital nutrients. Evidence demonstrates photobiomodulation signals damaged cells to begin their repair processes. This mechanism of action is a photo-chemical response, not a heat/thermal response, therefore the tissue is safe from thermal damage making the Inlight Therapy systems both safe and effective for home use.
