Light Innovation - Health & beauty with light Laser and light applications are now available in many medical disciplines for clinical practice. Both in diagnostics and in therapy treatments with laser and light rays open up the new ways and possibilities: Precise surgical techniques and treatments relieve regenerate and even heal the patient with few side effects. Today, light & laser technology in many fields are often performed as the method of first choice for therapies that are not possible to perform successfully with other classical methods, or only with a much larger effort. High energy lasers are very precise tools for cutting, coagulation and vaporization of biological tissue. Light spectra from low energy lasers and special full spectrum therapy devices working in the visible and near-infrared range are ideal for bio-stimulation and regeneration. Interestingly, the findings that have been made in medicine with laser & light applications are today widely used by dermatologists, skin specialists, aestheticians and spa specialists successfully in a wide range of applications. In this lecture you will learn many of these new findings and can use it for yourself and for the benefit of your customers. We wold love the here you comments about this lecture.

575 - 585 nm Yellow
500 - 575 nm Green Visible Light

19. The human body
absorbs light through
the eyes, the skin
and the diet as
oscillating energy
and supports a wide
range of biological
functions

20. Only the close affinity
to the light, makes it
possible to us to
perceive light.
But only though the
absence of light we
can experience and
detect the presence
of light.

21. Only the change of
light and darkness,
only the rhythm of day
and night, shows us
the whole spectrum of
life. All life is subject
to the ever-changing
rhythm of day and
night.

22. Every cell in our body
responds to these
changes and each cell is
ultimately nourished by
light energy.
Sunlight with an
incredibly broad
spectrum of waves gives
us not only life, but it is
also fundamental in
maintaining good health.

light and colour was written down by the following
personalities:
Hippokrates Paracelsus Goethe

The light bath called „Sit-Down“
that Kellogg developed in 1891.
The system was worldwide popular.
Even Thomas Edison had one.
Kellogg offered all year round
artificial light treatments in his
Photo Therapy Collection Sanatorium.

Dr. Niels Ryberg Finsen

30. 1896
Fist development of a photo therapy system that could
emit light similar to that of the sun.

31. The secret about light
„The rest of my life I
would like to commit to
thinking about what is
light."
Albert Einstein

32. 1958 was the development the first Lasers with
the Publication, “Infrared and Optical Masers, by
Arthur L. Schawlow and Charles H. Townes
This scientific Paper in the "Physical Review”, the
journal of the American Physical Society, started a
new scientific field and opened the door for a
Multi-Billion Dollar Industry.

33. Laser Pioneer
Charles Townes won the in
1964 the Nobel Prize in
Physics for his ground

Quantum Electronics, that led
to the construction of
oscillators and amplifiers

organisms.
He also could show that photons /
light radiation – can support and
Prof Fritz Albert Popp
interact with the communication

Light radiation must be absorbed to produce
a biological response.
All biological systems have a unique
absorption spectrum which determines what
wavelengths of radiation will be absorbed to
produce a given therapeutic effect.

• 400-1’000nm

69. The working principal of a laser is called stimulated emission:
•Electrons are supplied with energy.
•Electrons have the property of being in a low energy level.
•They therefore emit energy in form of light.

70. - The emitted Light moves between two mirorrs back and
forth and becomes always stronger.
- One mirorr is pacially trasparent to light, so that light in
form of a beam can be released.
A photon hits an excited atom...
and the atom emits a new photon
that is exactly equal to the first.

110. • Most systems use a continuous light beam in the
wavelength range between 385 - 3500nm.
• This treatment reduces infections and supports natural
healing mechanisms.
• The systems are easy to handle.
• In many cases light therapy also helps where traditional
medical methods fail, and in many cases without additional
medication.
• One session per day, approximately 10 - 20 sessions over
4 weeks is average required. Ø The treatment durations are
between 4 ~ 15 minutes per treatment area.

111. 1. Remove make-up, sweat and
dirt with cleansing cream. In
case of inflammatory skin
diseases, cleanse smoothly.
2. Rinse cleanly so the Light can
thoroughly the skin.

112. 3. Prepare skin or wound for
treatment.
4. During the radiation, the patient
feels in most cases no pain.
One can carry goggles but with
most light therapy devices it is
not necessary.

113. 5. Soothe the skin after therapy
with rubber pack, and so on.
