Frequently Asked Questions Firefly

Firefly represents the latest technology in light therapy. Firefly accelerates the healing of a wide variety of chronic conditions and soft tissue injuries. It can relieve pain, promote wound healing, and provide therapy for arthritic conditions and neuropathy.

Firefly multi-spectrum therapy emits packets of light call photons. Photons break the painful inflammatory cycle by dilating small blood and lymphatic vessels. This increase in circulation removes the irritating inflammation resulting in accelerated healing and pain relief. The immune system and nervous sytem are also stimulated by light, increasing activity for faster repair of damaged tissues. Numerous tests show that these light therapy benefits are due to an increase in the release of nitric oxide.

60 years ago, Nobel Peace Prize Winner Furchgott (et al JPETT 113:22, 1955) demonstrated the ability of photo energy to induce vaso-relaxation. NASA and the military also successfully used light therapy in the 70's.

Unlike other modalities, no sticky pads or cold gels are required. Most patients feel no particular sensation other than a slight warmth caused from increased blood circulation to the treatment area.

Firefly therapy does not emit any x-ray or other ionizing radiation. It only emits diffused light greatly reducing the risk of burn.

Firefly light therapy is not applied over cancer, infection, or on a pregnant woman. Firefly light therapy is not used on the eyes and safety glasses are always worn during treatment for protection.

Yes. Firefly therapy work well alone or with other integrative approaches, like acupunture, chriopractic, and physical therapy.

This varies based on many factors, including chronicity of disease, strength of immune system, frequency of treatments, and much more. A series of 4 treatments is usually administered to evaluate effectiveness and determine the appropriate number of additional sessions.

Yes. Because the treatment is so comfortable, children and seniros usually welcome its beneficial effects. It is also safe to apply Firefly therapy over many types of implanted medical devices.

Rarely. Usually only relief is felt but occasionally patients may experience mild temporary dizziness, or a temporary increase in pain in the day or days follwoing Firefly Light therapy. In rare cases mind bruising may occur from increased blood circulation and patients using medication that increase sensitivity to light may have skin reactions.

Faster Healing: Accelerates cell development and stimulates bone and cartilage regeneration.

Anti-inflammatory Action: Reduces swelling and accelerates healing of soft tissue injuries.

Increase Vascular Activity: Increases micro-circulation of the lymphatic system and small blood vessels.

Stimulates Nerve Fuction and Regeneration Fast: Typical treatments take just 5-10 mintues.

Nonpharmalogical: No drugs required.

Economical: Costs less than other therapies because it works faster and offers greater benefits.
