Transcranial Infrared LED Light Brain Stimulation Cap & Photobiomodulation Brain Machine

The Science

Numerous peer reviewed scientific studies have proven the healing effects of specific light wavelengths on human tissue. Red light at 650 nm and infrared light at 830 nm wavelength have been shown to penetrate human tissue, release nitric oxide, and upregulate cells to produce various natural healing substances. This process is referred to as
photobiomodulation. Clinicians across the country are finding this technology useful in treating various brain disorders including: traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD), dementia, Parkinson’s, and stroke.

The Technology

The Head Cap Light System contains red and near infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs) embedded in durable neoprene therapy pads that wrap gently around the head and/or body. The system controller automatically pulses the light at 7 different pulsed rates for a predetermined 20-minute session.

How To Use the System

The Head Cap Light System is easy to use. Place the Head Cap directly on your head and turn the controller ON. The red and near infrared LEDs will slightly warm your scalp and penetrate through the skull. The automatic timer will turn the system OFF in 20 minutes ending your session. Many people choose to use their Head Cap System first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening. The Head Cap pads can be disassembled and used anywhere on your body to improve circulation.

What You Can Expect

The most common experience people report after using the Head Cap system is “relaxation”. Over time users have also reported reduced anxiety, increasing ability to focus, reduced anger outbursts, clearer thinking, improved memory, and more. Individual results vary according to usage and underlying conditions. That said, numerous scientific findings suggest overall improvement in TBI symptoms in as few as 6 weeks.
