How Does Near-Infrared Light Therapy Work?
Sound too good to be true? Here’s the science behind the approach:
Contour Light red right and near-Infrared Light Therapy works by stimulating the mitochondria to energize and detoxify the cells throughout the body. It systematically sets into motion a cascading message throughout the body to rebalance the immune system from an over-reactive inflammatory response M1 phenotype to a healthy immune response M2 phenotype. (Dr. Michael Hamblin) This signals cells to make energy more efficiently and at the same time increases blood flow to damaged tissue to decrease swelling and relieve pain.
Imagine being able to offer your patients a highly effective, non invasive, non pharmaceutical, ultra-soothing red light therapy treatment that has consistently proven to make a real difference. Adding Contour Light to your menu of services will really give your medical practice a competitive advantage!

Reduced oral inflammation:
Researchers conducting a separate study assessed the impact of red light therapy on reducing inflammation in periodontal cells. The goal was to improve the surgical environment and overall success rates of orthodontic and dental treatments. The study concluded that red light therapy, when used during dental procedures, greatly reduced inflammation levels, swelling and pain in the mouth.
Fibromyalgia:
A third study analyzed the impact of near infrared light therapy in improving the quality of life for patients with fibromyalgia.
