Wound Treatment
How it works
Wound treatment is done with a topical (chromophore) gel to utilize fluorescent light to promote healing. By using fluorescent light, cellular energy increases, therefore energy for healing is more readily available via positive influence on electron transfer and proton transportation. Mitochondrial production as well as ATP are then increased. This energy stimulates the epidermal growth factor, the vascular growth factor, the fibroblast growth factor, as well as collagen. The combination of light and chromophore gel has been shown to decrease the time required for cell regeneration and growth.
Wound treatment sessions are quick and painless. Chromophore gel is added over the wound, acting as a prism to break light into different wavelengths. Each wavelength has a different depth of penetration as well as a different effect. The gel is added in sections to allow adequate time for each section of the wound. A complete gel cycle is done over the surface of the wound. The area is then rinsed and the cycle is repeated. This is done twice in one visit, once weekly for best results.
