Cosmetic Surgery: Swelling and Bruising

Dear Bioptron team,

I have used the Bioptron Light source for more than twelve years in my cosmetic and reconstructive surgery patients and I believe that Bioptron is a great asset in my practice. It has a soothing effect on the patients and the operation site and reduces the swelling as well as the bruising at a far faster rate than normal. Dr Miroslav Colic first introduced the concept to me at an international conference and he has reported both in textbooks and in peer-reviewed journals about his experience.

I use it immediately after an operation for 10 minutes on each side and then at each following appointment I recommend the Bioptron treatment for up to 20 minutes.

I know of people who have their own Bioptron hand-held devices which they use as part of their anti-ageing routine. I have not seen any reported studies of that.

The advantage of the Bioptron is that it is light without UV rays and minimal blue rays and concentrates mainly on the beneficial rays towards the red spectrum. This light seems to facilitate the activity of the mitochondria which are the "power-stations" of our cells.

Yours sincerely
