Photobiomodulation / Low-level Light Therapy
What is photobiomodulation?
Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) is the current technical term for Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). It is a light therapy using lasers or LEDs to improve tissue repair, reduce pain and inflammation. Blood irradiation therapy began when scientists in Russia, Germany and China carried out research on everyday people and athletes regarding the effects of light energy of specific wavelengths and power density on blood.
At the cellular level, visible red and near infrared light energy stimulates cells to generate more energy and undergo self-repair. Each cell has mitochondria, which perform the function of producing cellular energy called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Mitochondria are the energy factories that exist within almost every cell in our body.
The intranasal devices combine solid state technology along with intranasal diodes built from transparent high-impact polycarbonate to ensure quality and durability.

Vielight Photobiomodulation Devices
655 nm Intranasal - R7 050 (subject to availability)
This device utilizes a low level (or “cold”) laser diode to release coherent light in the visible red spectrum (655 nm), powered by a calculated dosage of energy to irradiate the capillary-rich nasal cavity.
The laser beam footprint targets the nasal cavity, which is rich in blood capillaries. The device parameters have been derived from researching clinical studies on low level light therapy over the last few decades. Although many researchers now believe that the outcomes between low level laser and the non-laser light emitting diodes (LED) to be similar, the laser light should penetrate deeper into the tissues.
Designed to stimulate the circulatory, immune and endocrine systems. Can be used alone or together with the 810 nm Intranasal.
Please do not look into the laser light source.
Multimodal Intranasal Photobiomodulation (MIP)
MIP 633 nm-810 nm - R7 500 (subject to availability)
MIP 655 nm-810 nm - R8 600 (subject to availability)
MIP 470 nm-633 nm-655 nm-810 nm - R10 750 (subject to availability)
The Vielight MIP ushers in a new era for our intranasal technology and is the most versatile intranasal photobiomodulation (PBM) device available today.
The MIP provides benefits to brain health, systemic wellness and antiviral defense.
Dual intranasal modules double the functionality with the same convenience.
The MIP-810nm applicator can run at a frequency of either 10 Hz or 40 Hz by simply pressing the power button for 5 seconds to alter the frequency.

Transcranial Neuro Alpha 2 - R30 960
(subject to availability)
Transcranial Neuro Alpha 3 - R34 830
(subject to availability)
Transcranial Neuro Gamma 4 - R38 700
(subject to availability)
Transcranial Neuro Duo 4 - R51 600
(subject to availability)
The Vielight Neuro 3 and Neuro 4 is the world's first transcranial / intranasal photobiomodulation system. Designed primarily for brain photobiomodulation, this device emits pulsed near infra-red (NIR) light energy with advanced microchip LED technology and sends pulsed NIR photons through the cranium to the cerebral cortex.
The Vielight Neuro has three versions: The Alpha, the Gamma and the Duo.
The Gamma with a wavelength of 810 nm and a pulse rate of 40 Hz is used by Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s patients once per day, six days per week.
The Alpha with a wavelength of 810 nm and a pulse rate of 10 Hz is used by patients with traumatic brain injury, stroke rehabilitation, anxiety and depression, PTSD, etc.
The Duo combines both Alpha and Gamma with one transcranial device.
Studied potential effects of this device are neuroprotection, activation of self-repair mechanisms and enhanced functions of the brain.
Healthy patients only need to use the transcranial device once every other day.
X-Plus 4 - R9 700 (subject to availability)
The Vielight X-Plus 4 stimulates the thymus gland and nasal vasculature with light energy to augment the body’s innate immune system and reduces inflammation. The X-Plus 4 comes with one 633nm intranasal module, enabling photobiomodulation of the blood capillary-rich nasal passageway. Click here to read more.
Vielight Vagus - R15 000 - (subject to availability)
The Vielight Vagus enables non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve via photobiomodulation. This device was engineered to enhance the parasympathetic nervous system via the vagus nerve.
As a patented device, the Vielight Vagus stands as the world’s only photobiomodulation device specifically designed for vagus nerve stimulation.
The vagus nerve plays a pivotal role in regulating fundamental bodily functions. Its direct link between the brain and the gut makes it a key player in our physiological balance
The Vielight Vagus enhances this vital nerve, improving the brain-gut connection and theoretically, improving brain and systemic photobiomodulation outcomes.
