Contour Light Therapy

ABOUT
CONTOUR LIGHT

Contour Light offers the latest advancement in light emitting diodes (LED) technology in a unique pad design delivery system that can treat several areas of the body at once. The large, soft, and flexible pads comfortably contour to the shape of the human body, allowing the light source to be as close as possible to the skin for the most effective application of therapeutic photonic energy. The soft plastic and breathable fabric pad covers provided with the system are designed to deliver a completely safe, hygienic experience for your patients/clients.

The combined wavelengths of LED (635nm) and near infrared light (880nm) blend the proven beneficial aspects of both frequencies for body contouring and inch loss, pain management, temporary relief of arthritis and muscle/joint pain, and increased local blood circulation. Additionally, independent of Contour Light, there are ongoing NIH studies that are discovering more treatment indications for this spectrum of light therapy, including for skin issues, hair loss, brain related issues, and immune system rebalancing, among others.

Thousands of clinical studies about how this spectrum of light interacts with the cells in the human body have created an explosion of interest in the marketplace, increasing public awareness of this truly remarkable non-surgical and non-invasive option. Low-level red light therapy is now one of the most in-demand treatments available.

Contour Light is the only pad-based, FDA Cleared device for body contouring (circumference reduction), pain management (temporary pain relief for joint and muscle pain, arthritis and other pain related issues), and increased local blood circulation. What sets it apart from other similar devices is the proprietary reflective coating that continually captures and redirects light energy back into the tissue for maximum strength and absorption, which translates to optimum results for your patients.

Benefits of Contour Red Light Therapy Include

  • Liquefies Fat Cells
  • Causes Fat Cells To Shrink
  • Accelerates Fat Burning
  • Increases Nitric Oxide Production, which improves circulation.
Increases circulation, which reduces muscle spasms.
  • Painful joints and muscles are relieved.
Acne blemishes are reduced
  • Collagen is stimulated, which reduces wrinkles and smoothes the skin
  • Thyroid function is improved
  • Increases circulation to injured nerves, which alleviates symptoms of neuropathy
  • Dermal aging lines are reduced
  • Increased circulation boosts energy levels

Body Contouring

Red light therapy is a non-invasive technology that enhances healthy cell life and generation. Our flexible pad based system provides a safer, healthier and more enjoyable experience for patients, when compared to other body sculpting machines on the market today. It can be used on most parts of the body, head to the toes, though the eyes should be protected from its ultra bright lights. Goggles are recommended.

Accelerated Healing

Red light therapy encourages accelerated healing and skin rejuvenation. Studies indicate that by increasing fibroblast production in the skin, generating collagen and elastin, it produces a supportive and tightening effect that improves the look and feel of the skin.

Red light therapy also helps increase circulation between blood and tissue cells and stimulates a healing response in the skin. Studies show that red light therapy leads to improvement in wound healing, and conditions like rosacea, acne and scarring. With red light treatment, cells become stronger and healthier, are better able to respond to damage, and actively rejuvenate themselves.

Inflammation Reduction and Pain Management

Much of the pain and discomfort in the body is caused by inflammation. Red light therapy produces healthy anti-inflammatory effects that reduce pain and boost healthy immune responses throughout the body. Numerous studies have proven that the combination of 635nm and 880nm wavelengths improve blood and lymphatic circulation, thus reducing inflammation and cleansing the body of free radicals. Red light therapy has been effectively used to treat arthritis and other forms of joint and muscle pain.

 

What is a Contour Light Therapy Session Like?

The closer the light is to the skin, the more effective the treatment. The Contour Light pad delivery system allows direct application to the skin. We recommend that patients wear a two-piece bathing suit, speedo or boxers attire, for maximum treatment coverage. The patient lies on a treatment table and the pads are placed on the areas of treatment. Typically, that includes two large pads placed underneath the mid back and back upper legs, two large pads placed on the abdomen and the front of the upper legs. One small pad on each of the upper arms, and the face mask is placed arching over the face and chest area. The pads can be used in a variety of configurations, specific to the areas on which the patients desire treatment. Once the system is on, the patient will see ultra bright red lights. Goggles should be worn to protect their eyes. After a few minutes, when the light stimulates the cell mitochondria and they begin to generate energy in the cells, the patient will feel a warming effect. The pads themselves do not emit heat, the warmth is primarily generated by the body. Many patients describe it as comforting and calming. A session can last up to 30 minutes, giving the patient time to relax and even nap.

Do patients need to follow a strict diet and exercise regimen?

Contour Light along with a healthy life style of good nutrition and moderate exercise will result in remarkable and measurable results. That said, there is no particular diet or exercise regimen required, but drinking plenty of water and even a 15-20 minute walk or moderate exercise following a treatment will noticeably enhance the results.

Are there any restrictions to who can be treated?

Contour Light is safe and beneficial for the vast majority of people. There are three exceptions for which a patient would need a physician’s clearance to be able to utilize the Contour Light.
They include:

 Patients that have a medical condition that seriously inhibits proper waste elimination via the liver and kidneys may struggle, because during the treatment cells release fat and toxins into the lymphatic system for elimination from the body, passing through the liver and kidneys. If the liver or kidneys are already compromised, this process could cause further congestion.

 Patients who have extreme light sensitivity, either due to a medical condition or a medication, should get clearance from their doctors before using red light therapy.

 Patients who are pregnant need to check with their OB doctors before utilizing Contour Light, and should not use the pads in the abdomen area.
