In the Visible Light, Nanometers (wavelength) = Color
The visible light spectrum is the wavelengths or colors that humans can see.
They start at 400nm (Blue) and end around 700nm (Red). In light therapy, you
will see various wavelengths mentioned. The wavelengths are different shades of
color or they may not be able to seen at all. 420nm light is a deep blue color.
480nm light is a lighter shade of blue. 630nm is a light shade of red. 680nm is a
dark shade of red. 350nm (UV) is not visible to the eye. 950nm (Infrared) is not
visible to the eye. You will notice in our equipment when the equipment is
energized, some LEDs (light emitting diodes) will appear not to be shining. These
are two Infrared Wavelengths. They are shining; you just can’t see the light.
Digital cameras can detect this light if they do not have an IR or “hot filter”
coating on the lens. This is the reason that when you see a picture of our device
(energized), they all appear on.
Scientific Research
One of the most impressive scientists in this field is Tina Karu. She is head of the
Laser Biology and Medicine Institute at Troitsk, Russia. She has published
almost 100 papers on light therapy. She suggests that irradiation of isolated
mitochondria induces changes in cellular homeostasis, which entails a cascade
of reactions. It is proposed that a number of the components of the respiratory
chain (e.g., cytochromes, cytochrome oxidase and flavine dehydrogenase), are
primary photoacceptors or chromophores and thus able to absorb light at
appropriate wavelengths. This causes short-term activation of the respiratory
chain, leading to changes in redox status of both mitochondria and cytoplasm. In
turn, the activation of the electron transport chain results in enhanced synthesis
of ATP. Furthermore, laser irradiation also affects hydrogen ion levels in the cell.
This, coupled with an increase in ATP, causes activation of other membrane ion
carriers such as sodium and potassium, and alters the flow of calcium between
mitochondria and cytoplasm. The variation of such parameters is a necessary
component in the control of proliferative activity of the cell.
