Vielight therapy emits red light wavelengths directly into the brain. From increasing brain performance to reducing neurodegeneration and improving systemic health, red light for the brain has been shown to benefit users in over 15 published research studies.
Vielight is the world’s only transcranial-intranasal brain photobiomodulation (PBM) tool. Brain photobiomodulation technology works by emitting light energy which is then absorbed by the mitochondria. This may improve brain health and functioning.
The Vielight Neuro Duo comes with both Alpha and Gamma modes and is designed to be worn transcranially and intranasally (on the head and in the nose).
Alpha (10 Hz) aids relaxation and sleep improvement.
Gamma (40Hz) can support focus and memory and improve cognition.
Some studies suggest that Vielight red light therapy can improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and executive brain function. Vielight therapy may enhance neural activity and promote cognitive performance by increasing blood flow and boosting energy production in brain cells.
Red light has been shown to have neuroprotective effects, potentially slowing down the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Vielight photobiomodulation may help protect neurons from damage by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain. This may help preserve brain health and cognitive function.
Exposure to red and near-infrared light may influence neurotransmitter levels, potentially alleviating symptoms of depression and improving patients’ moods. Vielight products are being explored as a treatment option for depressive disorders and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
Red light therapy may influence circadian rhythms and melatonin production, potentially improving sleep patterns and quality. Vielight technology could be particularly beneficial for individuals with sleep disorders.
By reducing inflammation in the brain, red light therapy may also help alleviate headaches, including migraines, and other types of pain associated with conditions like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Red light therapy can potentially produce improvements in blood circulation in the brain. Vielight products could provide more oxygen and nutrients to brain cells, enhancing overall brain health and function.
At the cellular level, red light therapy boosts mitochondrial energy production by stimulating the cytochrome c oxidase enzyme. The increase in cellular energy production could enhance the function and repair of brain cells, leading to improved brain health.
The basis of all our thoughts, behaviour and emotions stems from communicating neuronal networks. This interaction leads to the formation of neural electrical signals known as brainwaves.
Brain stimulation via photobiomodulation stimulates neuronal mitochondria, which increases cellular energy levels. Increased cellular health improves efficiency in neural signalling and communication.
Vielight Inc. is the first in the world to demonstrate the ability to modulate brainwaves using near-infrared light technology.
Alpha brainwaves are prominent when the mind is calm and in some meditative states. Alpha waves help with developing overall mental coordination, calmness and inner peace.
Initial electroencephalogram (EEG) testing indicates that the Vielight Neuro Alpha’s 10 Hz pulse can elevate neural Alpha waves.
Gamma brainwaves are prominent when the mind is attentive, active and in the process of learning. When Gamma oscillations are elevated, this leads to increased mental acuity.
Initial EEG testing indicates that the Vielight Neuro Gamma’s 40 Hz pulse can elevate neural Gamma waves.
The Gamma model emits NIR (near-infared) light energy at 40 Hz. This frequency has a neuromodulating effect on the rhythmic electric processes of neurons. Effects include an increase in:
The Alpha mode uses NIR light energy at 10 Hz — similar to neural alpha waves. Theoretically, by activating alpha waves there’s an effect on the brain’s resting state, supporting:
Vielight intranasal light therapy is effective because the intranasal channel is located just 3 inches from the brain. It is the most efficient channel for photobiomodulation to access the underside of the brain and interact with ventral structures that have important functions.
Not at present. The FDA has categorised the Vielight device as a ‘low-risk general wellness device’ in accordance with their draft on “General Wellness: Policy on Low Risk Devices” (January 20, 2015). However Vielight products are classified as medical devices in Canada.
This machine emits pulsed 810nm near-infrared energy to stimulate brain function through photobiomodulation.
The 810nm (nanometre) wavelength deeply penetrates through tissue and bone, to support photonic transmission to neuronal mitochondria.
Generally around once every other day before attempting more frequent usage, not exceeding once daily. For more serious conditions once per day, six days a week should be appropriate. Please note these are purely recommendations and not medical advice.
