When using biolamps (as a source of polarized light), phenomena occur that trigger and stimulate the course of control processes at the cellular level in the tissue and consequently slow down the disease and degenerative processes in these cells. Since specific biochemical processes take place in each cell throughout the organism, this phenomenon can be described as strategically important for the further course of healing processes affecting the whole organism from this point of view. In practice, the individual effects are usually combined and intertwined.

II. Analgesic - analgesic effect

Pain is a phenomenon associated with tissue damage or is a symptom of many disorders and diseases. Pain is recorded by sensors (so-called nociceptors) that respond to changes in the permeability of the sensory membrane. The information thus obtained is transmitted by nerve fibres to the spinal cord, where it is connected to ascending systems that conduct pain information to the brain.

The positive anti-pain effect of polarized light lies in:

• A local (topical) pain-relieving effect, which is promoted by stimulation of the mucous membranes, resulting in improved and accelerated lymphatic drainage from the affected area
• Influencing the production and release of substances (endogenous opioids) that help to induce the desired analgesic effect
• Slowing nerve fibre degeneration
• Reduction of nerve irritability, by direct action on nerve endings

III. Anti-inflammatory effect

Tissue responds to damage, which may have different causes, with a complex reaction that we call inflammation. The damaged cells then release certain substances (histamine, serotonin and many others), local blood flow and permeability of the blood vessel walls increases, thereby allowing more fluid into the inter-tissue space and creating swelling.

In this complex defense system, polarized light plays a significant role in therapeutic action. Polarized light works across the full breadth of classic inflammatory symptoms: against swelling, pain, redness and heating. Compared to previous classical physiotherapy applications, phototherapy has the advantage that there is no thermal (heat) factor involved in its action. We can also irradiate inflammatory conditions with monochromatic polarized red light, right from the onset of inflammation.

In summary, we can say that the effect of polarized monochromatic light on inflammatory changes consists in the stimulation of humoral defense and in the activation of the immunological defense of the organism.

The action of polarized light on the organism must be understood as a complex process, the result of which is a certain reaction of the organism to this action manifested as - biostimulating, analgesic, anti-inflammatory effect.

I. Biostimulation effect

By this term we mean primarily the stimulation of cells by light energy, with accelerated cell division in various tissues, optimization of metabolism and an overall increase in cellular energy, or adjustment of this energy to normal levels.

The prerequisite for the biostimulation effect is also the acceleration of the regeneration of blood and lymphatic vessels and thus the improvement of the vascularization (overgrowth of blood vessels) of the tissue. The resulting effect is then to accelerate the revitalisation (reanimation) and healing of the affected area (tissue). Polarised light has the most positive effect on the properties of the newly formed tissue - e.g. a scar in a skeletal muscle reaches a far higher tensile strength after stimulation with light energy.
