How Does Bioptron® Hyperlight Treat Wound?

  • Increases the Proliferation and Migration of Fibroblasts
    In every wound, the regeneration of tissues is a pivotal process. BIOPTRON® Hyperlight increases the mobility of newly-formed fibroblasts, a critical process to wound healing. BIOPTRON® Hyperlight promotes the expression of the binding factors that support this migration, contributing actively to the faster and healthier regeneration of the damaged skin. (Bolton et al., 1992)
  • Relieves Pain
    Constant and intolerable pain is disabling and devastating in patients with chronic wounds. Pain impairs wound healing and slows down patient recovery. BIOPTRON® Hyperlight Therapy reduces pain by stimulating the production of nitric oxide, which decreases the over-stimulation of somatic peripheral nerves and increases vasodilatation, diminishing in parallel the ischemic pain. (Gaspariyan et al., 2005; Samoilova et al., 2008)
  • Increases Collagen Production
    BIOPTRON® Hyperlight increases the production of endogenous collagen, giving to the connective tissues the structure and stability necessary for elasticity and skin strength. BIOPTRON® Hyperlight therapy fosters the recovery of tissues to a healthy and functional state. (De Melo et al., 2016)
  • Promotes Angiogenesis
    Chronic wounds are very often characterized by poor and deficient blood supply, which could slow down and delay the recovery. BIOPTRON® Hyperlight promotes angiogenesis by developing new capillaries. The increased number and length of capillaries contribute to healthy tissue regeneration and shorter recovery time. (Gasparyan et al., 2005)
  • Improves Microcirculation
    BIOPTRON® Hyperlight increases the blood flow in irradiated capillaries, boosting the oxygen and nutrients supply, as well as the uptake of nocive substances produced by damaged cells. BIOPTRON® Hyperlight therapy provides to the new-formed cells all they need to favour healthy tissue regeneration. (Samoilova et al., 2008)
  • Decreases the Risk of Infections and Reinforces the Immune System
    Chronic wounds are very often characterized by poor and deficient blood supply, which could slow down and delay the recovery. BIOPTRON® Hyperlight promotes angiogenesis by developing new capillaries. The increased number and length of capillaries contribute to healthy tissue regeneration and shorter recovery time. (Gasparyan et al., 2005)
  • Diminishes Inflammation
    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, reducing locally the inflammation of affected epithelium. (Falus et al 2011, Zhevago 2006)

In parallel, BIOPTRON® Hyperlight Therapy increases IL-6, which increases the production of IgM antibodies by B lymphocytes, providing defence against blood-borne pathogens.

(Fenyo et al., 1992)

The secretion of IFN-γ is as well promoted, reinforcing the microbicidal and antiviral action of natural killer cells.
