| Scientific explanation and research data BHC Class I B Laser Recent studies of the sensorial receptor and the chrome strengths have established that light emission can stimulate the sensorial receptor in different ways according to its wavelength. The active stimulus sent forth by the BHC Class I B laser (694 nm) is the result of research and experimentation by experts in photo-electronics, chrome therapy and psychology. The process of photosynthesis is an excellent example of how light energy can stimulate activity and growth in plant life. Exposure to light results in the bronzing or tanning of the skin. Large multinational companies like GE and Phillips have been spending billions of dollars on the effects of light therapy. The BHC laser system was designed to create a healthier and cleaner environment for the hair and the scalp which not only then permits a more effective product application but also increases the potential for the maturation of the hair. The product has obtained the necessary approval from European control groups satisfying EEC directives governing electromagnetic and safety compatibility. This product is in compliance with and has met all requirements, for a laser product, set out by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration pursuant to 21 C.F.R. § 1040. One can understand the applicable principles of infrared through some simple concepts of biophysics, illustrating the photo-biological interaction with the cells. The spectrum of the electromagnetic waves, in operation of the length of the wave, gives rise to the following classifications; radio waves, centimeter waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, nuclear and cosmic radiation. The living beings live in the compressed spectrum between the infrared and the ultraviolet, with the maximum sensibility around the red color. The cells react to the wavelength of all electromagnetic radiations. Such reactions can be stimulating or harmful according to the power of the radiation. If you administer radiations with an instrument at a lower power level, said radiations have a bio-stimulating effect. If the radiations are generated at a higher power level, they become isolative. The infrared radiation penetrates in depth. It transmits without producing great photo-biological effects; if not there where it comes to be absorbed then in the interface between the epidermis and the dermis. The photo-biological bases of therapeutic use of infrared radiation re- engage themselves in a mechanism "fallen" on various structures. There is a photoreception at the microcondrial level. The radiation is absorbed at the level of the respiratory chain (cytochromes, oxidase cytochrome, dehydrogenase flowin …) with the consequent activation of the respiratory chain and further the activation of the NAD. At the cellular membrane level there is an increase in the activity of the enzyme Na/K, which in turn acts on the flow of Ca+. At this point one has a transduction and an amplification of the stimulus in the ambit cell structure, with the activation of the cyclical nucleotides which modulate the syneresis of the RNA and the DNA. The final photo-response is the bio-stimulation at various levels of the cellular metabolic structure. The biological activation spreads from cell to cell sending chemical transmissions. The infrared light increases the cellular metabolism accompanied by an augmentation of the capillary vascular bed of the radiant vascular zone with an increase also in the supply of oxygen. Other effects of infrared light at a lower frequency are: a rapid reduction of inflammatory edemas along with a drastic reduction of pain. The infrared light operates at the peripheral nerve fiber level, activating the process of myelinization, optimizing the synaptic function. Infrared light also promotes the process of cicatrization or healing. At the joint levels, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and muscle resistance are all quickly recovered along with the normalization of the neuromuscular function. The infrared light has a contemporaneous resolution of traumatic wounds and surgery during rehabilitation. *Marco Belleri, Head of Scientific Department, Dermotricos Engineering Italia |
