Description

From space to you! Based on  NASA research on healing with LED lights. Safe, effective, affordable LED light can speed healing, soothe sore muscles, ease chronic pain, relieve stiffness, and increase circulation. This non-drug alternative treatment will amaze you with rapid effects.

Near Infrared (NIR) 850 nm light penetrates 2-3” to increase blood flow and release nitric oxide to soothe and heal sore muscles and joints. Also helpful for toning the face and skin.

Note: While NIR light does not harm tissue, it can heat it up, therefore it makes sense to avoid using it directly on the thyroid or eyes for longer than a minute or so.

Elixa’s LED arrays put out approximately 40mW/cm2 or 1 joule per minute per cm2, more light per dollar than any other arrays we know of. Each LED puts out approx. 4000mcd at 10mW. This compares favorably with so-called Cold Lasers and Low-level Lasers. They do not pulse because that would add significant cost to the product, and we have seen no solid, double-blinded research that indicates a difference in healing effects between pulsed and constant light.

RESEARCH FINDINGS:

“Low-energy photon irradiation by light in the far-red to Near-InfraRed spectral range with low-energy lasers or LED arrays has been found to modulate various biological processes in cell culture and animal models. This phenomenon of photobiomodulation has been applied clinically in the treatment of soft tissue injuries and the acceleration of wound healing. The mechanism of photobiomodulation by red to near-IR light at the cellular level has been ascribed to the activation of mitochondrial respiratory chain components, resulting in initiation of a signaling cascade that promotes cellular proliferation and cytoprotection.”

“Cytochrome oxidase is an integral membrane protein that contains four redox active metal centers and has a strong absorbance in the far-red to near-IR spectral range detectable in vivo by near-IR spectroscopy.”

“Moreover, 660–680 nm of irradiation has been shown to increase electron transfer in purified cytochrome oxidase, increase mitochondrial respiration and ATP synthesis in isolated mitochondria, and up-regulate cytochrome oxidase activity in cultured neuronal cells.”

“LED photostimulation induces a cascade of signaling events initiated by the initial absorption of light by cytochrome oxidase. These signaling events may include the activation of immediate early genes, transcription factors, cytochrome oxidase subunit gene expression, and a host of other enzymes and pathways related to increased oxidative metabolism.”

“In addition to increased oxidative metabolism, red to near-IR light stimulation of mitochondrial electron transfer is known to increase the generation of reactive oxygen species. These mitochondrially generated reactive oxygen species may function as signaling molecules to provide communication between mitochondria and the cytosol and nucleus.”

Additional information

Mega 120 LED   850nm Near Infrared

Includes universal 110-240v AC adaptor

Array approx. 2″ x 4″ x 3/4″ Now with fan!

Our LED arrays put out approximately 40mW/cm2 or 1 joule per minute per cm2. Each LED puts out approx. 4000mcd at 10mW.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS:
Do not fall asleep using the LED unit. Do not leave it running unattended. Do not cover it as it may overheat and create a hazard. Do not use in the bath. Shut unit off when finished. Limit use to 20 minutes in arrays without internal fan.

Our eyes cannot see 850nm near-infrared light. The pilot light indicates that the device works. After a few minutes, you will feel the warmth of the unit which also indicates working LEDs. Put the light directly on the area you want to treat.

850nm light penetrates 3-4 times deeper than 660nm red light. It increases circulation by stimulating the release of nitric oxide and by increasing blood flow in the area. 850nm works well on sore muscles and joints. It also tones and tightens skin.

Avoid using it over the thyroid (below Adam’s Apple) to prevent overstimulation. Do not shine it into or at the eyes (open or shut) for very long as it can cause overheating and possible damage. Brief exposure will not hurt.

We know of no specific rules for time of application or any time limitation either, but it makes sense to start off with 10 minutes or so and gauge the results before using it for extended periods.

As with any other type of alternative healing modality, light therapy requires experimentation and common sense usage. If you notice any negative reactions, discontinue use and check with your healthcare provider.

We recommend a holistic approach to health that includes proper hydration and nutrition, exercise, elimination, rest, and a positive outlook. Deficiencies in any of these areas can contribute to poor health and pain, as well as lack of energy, focus, and motivation.
