Pain management with BIOPTRON hyperlight therapy

Decrease the release of inflammatory cytokines BIOPTRON ® Hyperlight decreases the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, and increases anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as TGF-β and IL-10, in the irradiated region, locally reducing inflammation of the affected epithelium (Falus et al., 2011, Zhévago, 2006).

These cytokines are also involved in the processes of chronic inflammation and the strengthening of defense mechanisms. With BIOPTRON ® Hyperlight, the immune system is strengthened to fight more effectively against external pathogens or inflammatory agents.

Improve microcirculation BIOPTRON ® Hyperlight increases blood flow in irradiated capillaries, stimulating the supply of oxygen and nutrients, as well as the absorption of harmful substances produced by inflamed cells.

This effect promotes the healing process and also decreases ischemic pain caused by poor microcirculation (Samoilova et al., 2008).

Decreased nociceptive signals (pain) BIOPTRON ® Hyperlight Therapy reduces pain by stimulating the production of nitric oxide, which decreases the overstimulation of somatic peripheral nerves and increases vasodilation, decreasing in parallel the ischemic pain (Gaspariyan et al., 2005; Samoilova et al., 2008 ).

Increased tensile strength of scar tissue, accelerating the healing process

BIOPTRON ® Hyperlight increases the production of endogenous collagen and elastin, providing soft tissues with the structure and stability needed to recover their tensile strength. BIOPTRON ® Hyperlight therapy promotes the recovery of tissues to a healthy and functional state (De Melo et al., 2016).
