Bioptron light therapy

Polarized light as adjunctive support in selected skin, wound, and pain-related care.

01 /Service description

Bioptron is a medical device that delivers polarized, polychromatic, low-energy light without UV radiation. It is used as an adjunct modality for selected skin, wound, and pain-related concerns. Evidence is not equally strong for every indication, so suitability is assessed individually and light therapy is not presented as a replacement for wound care or treatment of the underlying condition.

02 /Indications & benefits

Who it is for.

Who it is for

  • selected superficial wounds or skin changes following appropriate medical assessment
  • scars and local skin sensitivity as adjunctive support
  • some musculoskeletal pain when the goal is short-term symptom management

Key benefits

  • Tissue-repair support: in selected cases, it is used alongside standard wound or skin care.
  • Local sensitivity: it may help reduce irritation or sensitivity for some patients.
  • Pain modulation: any effect is symptomatic, individual, and not guaranteed.
03 /Treatment process

How the treatment works.

The therapy is generally painless and relaxing when indications and contraindications are observed.

  • Preparation: the area should be clean and accessible. Dressings are removed only when this is safe and consistent with wound-care instructions.
  • Positioning: The therapist directs the light beam perpendicularly (at a 90° angle) to the treated surface at a distance of approximately 10 cm.
  • Relaxation: The patient remains still during the session. The light does not generate intense heat; the patient may feel only a mild, pleasant warmth.
  • Duration: A single session typically lasts from 4 to 10 minutes per field, depending on the diagnosis.
