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

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. 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.

23. ... The first techniques for the medical application of
light and colour was written down by the following
personalities:
GoetheHippokrates Paracelsus

24. Finsen Lamp Lamp / Hands & Feet Lamp / Whole body treatment

25. Main attraction:
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
Sanatorium.

28. 1903 Nobel Prize Winner
For the development of
a therapy form with light
that could successfully
treat skin Tuberculosis
Dr. Niels Ryberg Finsen

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

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

31. 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.

32. Laser Pioneer
Charles Townes won the in
1964 the Nobel Prize in
Physics for his ground
breaking work in the field of
Quantum Electronics, that led
to the construction of
oscillators and amplifiers
based on the Principles of
Masers/Lasers
Charles H. Townes

was patented world wide.Dr. Marta Fenyö

37. Polarium – Multi Stimulation Room

38. Biophotonics Research
„How do cells, in a living organism,
communicate with each other?"
He could prove in various
experiments that an ultra week
radiation of light is responsible for
growth and development of all living
organisms.
He also could show that photons /
light radiation – can support and
interact with the communication
the various organisms .
Prof Fritz Albert Popp

39. Biophotonics

59. Basic Statements
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.

ignition for biological functions

83. • 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.

84. 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.

85. 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.

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

but also can be used by skin allergies and for other
types of skin related irritations.

110. The Low-Energie Laser
LLLT

111. •LASER = Light Amplification by
Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
• Laser consists of same wavelength, colour, form and
direction.

112. High / HLLT
• Biodestructive
• Surgical Laser
• Hard Laser
• Thermal Laser
• Energy - 3’000 - 10’000mW
Low / LLLT
• Biostimmulation
• Medical / Cosmetic Laser
• Soft Lasers
• Sub thermal
• Energy - 1-500 mW
• Therapeutic (cold) Laser
produce max. energy of
90 mW oder less
• 400-1’000nm

113. 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.

114. - 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.

115. Monochromatic
• 1 colour – 1 Wavelength
• For example 633nm
Coherence
• Light waves of the same length are in phase
coherent Light (in phase) Incoherent Light (out of phase)
