Biological effect of polarized light on a living organism
When polarized light strikes a tissue, a small fraction of the light rays are reflected (about 4%) and the remainder passes into the tissue where it is scattered and absorbed. The scattering and reflection from some tissue components affects both the spatial distribution of light energy and the possibility of its absorption in a given volume of tissue. Absorption of light (energy absorption) by tissue is the ultimate and most important process without which a photochemical reaction (chemical transformation induced by the action of light absorption) could not occur.
The absorbed light energy supplies the activation energy for the chemical reactions (mainly in cellular processes) that result in the organism's response. It then specifically acts on cell membranes, boosting cell metabolism (metabolism) and thus significantly accelerating regenerative abilities and healing processes. It reduces pain perception and suppresses inflammatory processes in tissues. Another effect is the suppression of the production of substances accompanying disease states and, last but not least, the direct action of light on the skin. Stimulating polarized light of biofilms has the ability of targeted penetration into deeper structures. The depth of penetration of light energy and its ability to spread through the tissues also depends on the physical parameters guaranteeing the effectiveness of phototherapy.
Much also depends on the purity of the skin and the nature of the particular tissue being irradiated, its density, pigmentation, amount of subcutaneous fat, etc. The light energy of the biolamp, which is gradually absorbed by the skin tissue it penetrates, produces effects that are very significant from a therapeutic point of view, including:
- strengthening of the immune system
- healing of wounds and treatment of injuries
- treating pain or reducing its intensity
- increasing energy, strength and stamina
- increasing oxygen saturation (binding) and transport through the blood
- slowing the respiratory rate
- slowing the heart rate lowering blood pressure
- lowering glycaemia
- decrease in blood lactate after physical exertion
- increase resistance to stress
- improving microcirculation
- harmonisation of metabolic processes
- stimulates regenerative and reparative processes in the whole organism
Benefits of use
Higher efficiency in the treatment with Biostimul biolamp with quickly visible results, allows the use of more efficient q-monochromatic light, where, as with medical lasers, the mutual counteraction of the individual parts of the light spectrum (colors) of polychromatic (white/yellow) light is eliminated, as is the case with classical biolamps.
Unlike older types of biotubes, the Biostimul can be used for both superficial (e.g. skin problems) and deep (e.g. joint pain) indications, thanks to an effective penetration depth of more than 4.5 cm.
The Biostimul does not emit heat, as it is a so-called cold light (i.e. it does not overheat, as conventional biolamps do), which is therapeutically particularly important e.g. in the treatment of inflammations where heat is undesirable in the treatment
