Vielight is a therapy that emits red light wavelengths directly into the brain. From increasing brain performance to reducing neurodegeneration, Vielight has been shown to benefit users in over 15 published studies.
Vielight is the world’s only transcranial-intranasal brain photobiomodulation (PBM) device. The Vielight Neuro Duo comes with both Alpha and Gamma modes and is placed upon your head and intranasally.
Gamma (40Hz): focus, memory, brain energy.
Alpha (10 Hz): relaxation and sleep improvement.
Some studies suggest that red light therapy can improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and executive function. The therapy may enhance neural activity and promote cognitive performance by increasing blood flow and 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. It may help protect neurons from damage by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain.
Exposure to red and near-infrared light may influence neurotransmitter levels, potentially alleviating symptoms of depression and improving mood. It is being explored as a treatment option for depressive disorders and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
Red light therapy can influence circadian rhythms and melatonin production, potentially improving sleep patterns and quality. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with sleep disorders.
By reducing inflammation in the brain, red light therapy can also help alleviate headaches, including migraines, and other types of pain associated with conditions like TMJ disorders.
Red light therapy can increase blood circulation in the brain, providing more oxygen and nutrients to brain cells, which can enhance overall brain health and function.
At the cellular level, red light therapy boosts mitochondrial energy production by stimulating the cytochrome c oxidase enzyme. This increase in cellular energy production can enhance the function and repair of brain cells, leading to improved neurological health.
The basis of all our thoughts, behaviour and emotions is the interaction between neuronal networks communicating with each other. This interaction leads to the formation of neural electrical signals known as brainwaves.
Brain stimulation via photobiomodulation stimulates neuronal mitochondria, which increases celullar energy levels. This results in improved efficiency in neural signalling and communication.
Vielight Technology is the first in the world to demonstrate the ability to modulate brainwaves using near infrared light.
Alpha brainwaves are prominent when the mind is calm and in some meditative states. Alpha is the resting state for the brain.
Alpha waves help with developing overall mental coordination, calmness and inner peace.
Initial 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 and in the process of learning. Gamma is the active state of the brain.
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 pulses NIR light energy at 40 Hz, which has a neuromodulating effect on Gamma neural oscillations. Effects include: an increase of focus, information processing, memory improvement, energy.
The Alpha model pulses NIR light energy at 10 Hz. This frequency is similar to neural alpha waves. Theoretical brain stimulation effects on alpha waves have a correlation with the brain’s resting state, offering support for mindfulness, learning, relaxation, and sleep improvement.
At just 3 inches from the brain, the intranasal channel is the most efficient channel for photobiomodulation of the ventral (underside) brain area. These ventral structures within the brain’s core have important functions.
No, at present. The FDA has categorised it as a ‘low-risk general wellness device’ in accordance with the FDA’s draft on “General Wellness: Policy on Low Risk Devices” (January 20, 2015). However they are classed as medical devices in Canada.
The Vielight Neuro emits pulsed 810nm NIR energy to enable brain stimulation through the photobiomodulation process.
The 810nm wavelength has the deepest penetration through tissue and bone, enabling photonic transmission to neuronal mitochondria.
The general recommended usage is to use once every other day before experimenting with more frequent usage, not exceeding once per day. For more serious cognitive impairment, the recommendation is once per day, six days a week. Please note these recommendations are theoretical and anecdotal.
