About
acne
Acne is a dermatological
disease that affects about 40% of the population between the ages of 12
to 30 years. Acne is a skin disorder which both physicians and beauticians
are frequently confronted with.
Common acne / Acne vulgaris
Common acne is one of
the most widespread skin disorders. It typically begins during puberty,
often - but not always - subsiding when patients are in their thirties.
Depending on the severity of the disorder, acne vulgaris can take on three
different forms:
1 - Acne comedonica
Acne comedonica is characterised by the predominant presence of open
and closed comedones appearing in varying numbers and intensities but
mainly in the facial region, which are very distressing for patients.
2 - Acne papulopustulosa
In some cases as the inflammation progresses, painful papules tend
to appear, often leaving behind visible scars after healing and thus provoking
significant emotional distress.
3 - Acne conglobata
This is the severest form of common acne. Acne conglobata is
characterised by the concurrent presence of comedones, pustules, indurated
papules and abscesses with interconnecting sinuses that affect large skin
regions. They often develop on the back and nape of the neck; in this
latter case the condition is termed acne inversa. Patients are generally
'stigmatized' by numerous scars that can be very pronounced and disfiguring.
Acne and light
therapy mechanisms
Q.Light® provides the correct wavelengths shown to stimulate many
important reparative factors to both reverse and control this skin condition.
Basically as part of its reproduction and metabolism process, the Propionil-
bacterium Acnes (P Acne bacteria) releases a certain pigment called
porphyrin. Porphyrin molecules, on absorbing photons, become chemically
active and transform into a state of aggregation that can result in several
formations. One of the formations is a free oxygen radical that attacks
the cell membrane and leads to the destruction of the P. acne bacterium.
The efficacy of this photochemical process is determined by the concentration
of porphyrin, dose of photon energy and wavelength of the photons.

How
to treat acne with Q.Light®
Scientific studies and empirical reports show individual cases
of acne can be significantly reduced or even completely healed by
regular exposure to Q.Light®. As individual treatment
sessions are very short Q.Light® therapy can easily be integrated
into traditional - local or systemic - regimens of acne therapy.
The average dose applied is 9.6 J/cm2 once a day.
For
optimal results it is recommended to clean the area to be treated
with a mild cleanser. Then direct the Q.Light® beam at
a right angle to the treatment area. The treatment time per session
is 15 min at the max treatment distance.

For general acute
and chronic care. The Q.Light® system is especially designed
for the application of acute and chronic pain care treatment in medical
practices, clinics, specialised treatment centres, nursing homes/services
and for treatment at home.
Systemic mechanisms of anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating effects
of visible light
Research on wound healing with visible light demonstrates how the
biopositive aspects of light therapy are directed to the blood composition
through the action of light on the superficial skin micro-vessels.
The overall action
can be described as the following:
Light activated blood is able to influence the total volume of blood in
the body within a period of 90 minutes. Changes are observed to continue,
at a slower rate, for up to 24 hours after irradiation. The dose of emitted
light applied for treatment is 12J/cm2 with a wavelength of 385 to 780
nm (385 to 1700 nm using the professional PRO) and a polarisation degree
of 95%
The treatment
result can be summarized as the following:
- immediate effect
on blood changes are due to the transcutaneous photo-modification with
a fast (30-90 minute) translation of light-induced changes to the whole
circulating volume of blood.
- Changes in
blood cells and plasma of the entire circulating blood are induced
- Increased functional
activity of monocytes, granulocytes, lymphocytes, platelets, improvement
of rheologic transport and gas-transport properties of erythrocytes
- Induced lipid
peroxidation levels in the erythrocyte membrane and plasma
- modified haemostasis
- significant
decreases in the plasma content of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased
levels of anti-inflammatory II10 and IFN-g, modulated growth content
factors and increased growth-promoting plasma properties for keratinocytes,
endotheliocytes, fibroblasts.
The changes demonstrate
the regulatory nature of visible light therapy and its therapeutic efficacy
for PAIN CARE even in cases of chronic pain.
General
Information on Q.Light® for PAIN CARE
The Q.Light®
Therapy System is suited for use in prophylactic (preventative) treatment
therapies and rehabilitation. It is a practical, hi-tech method of treatment.
This innovative medical technology, made in Switzerland, is already used
by medical professionals in many countries throughout Europe. Anyone can
benefit from this effective and low cost treatment.
Q.Light®
is becoming increasingly popular in physiotherapy, rehabilitation
and sports medicine.
During the application
of Q.Light® therapy the resulting biopositive effects strengthen the
defense forces and the entire metabolism is stimulated in addition to
the inflammation-retarding and pain-relieving effects. Q.Light®
treatment has been shown to succeed in reducing pain where classic
treatment methods have failed.
Q.Light®
provides consistent intensity, based on an exactly defined spectrum that
is proven to be effective in pain treatment. Moreover, Q.Light®
therapy will certainly play an important role in individual health due
to its ease of use and reasonable price.

How
to treat pain with Q.Light®
For optimal results the Q.Light® for PAIN CARE therapy
should be applied on a daily basis. The average dose applied to
the region of pain is around 12J/cm2 to 24J/cm2. The light beam
is directed at a right angle to the area to be treated. Q.Light®
can be an ideal complementary treatment to a variety of pain management
programmes. Its beneficial influence can affect the patient's general
condition and pain symptoms.
Q.Light® therapy is applied for just a few minutes -
10 to 15 minutes per treatment is ideal, mainly twice per day, but
in acute stages sometimes three to four times per day. Direct the
light onto the area to be treated from a distance of approximately
30 to 40 cm. In cases of joint treatment it is possible to extend
the therapy without danger.
Side effects or contraindications have not been reported.

General information on Q.Light® for
WOUND CARE
Q.Light® Light
therapy is effective in different phases of wound healing by arresting
inflammations, alleviating pain, activating the immune response, improving
perfusion and revascularization, increasing lymphatic drainage and generally
improving metabolism.
All of these effects
support the body's power of self-healing. In the case of chronic wound
healing disorders, light has a significantly positive influence on pathological
wound environments. Wounds heal more effectively if newly formed capillaries
increase the blood supply, if increased lymphatic drainage dissipates
edemas, if an improved immune response fights infections and metabolism
is reactivated. Therefore, the Q.Light® PRO beam is polarized
and within a range from 385 to 1700 nm (depending on system chosen) and
produces a power density of 40 mW/cm2 at max. treatment distance. The
Q.Light® beam can therefore penetrate deep into tissue.
Q.Light®
Light Therapy is of enormous benefit for patients, doctors and nursing
staff. As individual treatment sessions are very short, it can easily
integrated into standard wound care procedures. After swabbing the wound,
light therapy is applied for a few minutes to the wound area and surrounding
tissue. Side effects or contraindications have not been reported.

Burn
wounds
The Q.Light® for WOUND CARE therapy approach
can reduce the need for surgery in the treatment of deep dermal burns,
if applied immediately after admission to hospital. Within this group
of patients, the use of light therapy accelerates wound healing and
allows for early pressure therapy, therefore reducing hypertrophic
scarring and contractures. In addition shortened hospitalization results
in cost benefits and increased patient satisfaction. This form of
light therapy has become first choice for deep dermal burns in many
hospitals and specialist burn centres. |

General
information on the treatment of psoriasis
Psoriasis has no cure,
but a wide range of treatments can give people control over their condition.
No single treatment works for everyone, but light therapy is likely to
work in most cases.
The traditional
approach is to start with topical treatments and phototherapy until a
satisfactory combination of results is found. The goal is to discover
a treatment that achieves the best results and the fewest side effects.
General approach
Light Therapy is an effective treatment and can improve the condition
of the skin and reduce swelling, redness, flaking and itching. In some
cases the treatment can clear the skin (this is called "clearance"
or "remission" of psoriasis). Light therapy can be used for
a period of time to reduce flare-ups of the lesions. Because psoriasis
is chronic and unpredictable, it can be challenging to treat. It often
improves and worsens in a natural cycle.
Psoriasis
treatments - Treatments for psoriasis can be divided into three basic
categories:
- Topical treatment
(external treatments)
- Phototherapy
- or a combination of light therapy and medication
- Systemic (internal)
medications taken orally or by injection.
What
is psoriasis
Psoriasis
is a disorder in which angry red lesions appear on the skin, multiply
and scale over with silvery patches.
The word 'psoriasis'
comes from the ancient Greek and means 'to itch'. Red eruptions appear
on the surface of the skin and begin to itch. These areas form plaques
over the reddened lesions. The plaques resemble multi-layered scales of
skin. Psoriasis varies in intensity from a few random spots to a massive
outbreak covering the entire body and requiring hospitalization.
Psoriasis has
a tendency to be genetically inherited. Recently, it has been classified
as being an autoimmune disorder (the body's immune system turning in on
itself). This disorder can originate in childhood or adulthood. It has
been reported to form as early as birth but
for many the condition does not appear until later in child or adulthood.
However, once psoriasis appears there are only remissions and relapses
of varying degrees as it is viewed after onset to be a chronic condition.
Psoriasis is reactive.
It has triggers which can cause the body to go from a very mild case to
a severe case often within a few days. There are factors, such as sunlight,
which help decrease severity. Psoriasis occurs in two percent of the population.
It can be a mildly annoying problem or can destroy the self-esteem and
life of the person affected. Although it is not contagious, it is a disfiguring
condition that can alienate coworkers and acquaintances.
Arthritis can
also stem from psoriasis, attacking the joint spaces, giving the psoriasis
sufferer another disease process to deal with. Patches, chronic itching
and flaking, although not life threatening, impact on both the self-esteem
and lifestyle of the psoriasis victim. Time and money are spent trying
to keep the condition under control . Most therapy costs are covered by
NHS treatment or private insurance but over time the costs become a financial
burden.
How
to treat psoriasis with Q.Light®
General Psoriasis care
Q.Light® Therapy can offer relief for people with psoriasis
conditions. As individual treatment session are short, it can easily
be integrated into standard psoriasis care programme depending on
indication. The average dose applied to psoriasis is around 12J/cm2.
Q.Light® therapy is applied for just a few minutes once or twice
per day. In order to use the Q.Light® system effectively, the
skin should be cleansed before exposure to the light. Apply the visible
polarised light from a distance of approximately 30 to 40 cm to the
skin surface for 4 to 6 minutes over each area.
Special dermatological creams can be applied before or after the light
treatment. Any residue of cream should be wiped away if applied before
commencing the light treatment. Q.Light® therapy offers
relief of itching within days. The condition normally improves within
the first two weeks however in some cases it is very difficult to
achieve total regeneration of the skin. It is recommended to continue
long term Q.Light® Therapy after initial symptom response
to regulate the immune system and moderate future flare-ups.
Side effects and contraindications have not been reported. It is advisable
to check longer lasting skin conditions with a specialist to receive
additional professional advice.
The beneficial effect and regenerating effect of the Q.Light®
Therapy can be used to support various forms of skin treatments. |

Spectrum:
400 - 780 nm
The
SAD Care Module is specially designed for the application of neurological,
neuro-immunological and endocrinological treatments in medical practices,
clinics, specialist treatment centres, nursing homes/services and for
treatment at home.
The main applications of Q.Light® SAD CARE are:
- SAD/Seasonal
Affective Disorder

- Depression
Scientific research
has shown that light therapy is the most effective, natural treatment
for this distressing seasonal condition. Cost effective, natural and without
side effects!
Neuroimmunomodulating
effects induced by visible light
The immune system is susceptible to a variety
of stresses. Recent work in neurobiology has begun to define how mood
alteration, stress, the seasons, and daily rhythms can have a profound
effect on immune response through hormonal modification. Central to these
factors may be the influence of light thorough an eye-brain hormonal functioning.
In human beings,
only visible light (400-700nm) is registered by the retina of the eye.
This light energy is then transduced and delivered to the visual cortex
and, by an alternative pathway, to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN),
the hypothalmic region that directs circadian rhythm. Visible light exposure
also modulates the pituitary and pineal glands, leading to neuroendocrine
changes. Melatonin, norepinephrine and acetylcholine decrease with light
activation, whereas cortisol, serotonin and dopamine levels increase.
The synthesis
of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), gastrin releasing peptide
(GRP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been shown to be modified by light.
These induced neuroendocrine changes can lead to alterations in mood and
circadian rhythm as well as immune modulation. An alternative pathway
for immune modulation by light is through the skin. Visible light (400-700
nm) can penetrate epidermal and dermal layers of the skin and may directly
interact with circulating lymphocytes to regulate immune function.
It is therefore
important for treatment to control the intensity, treatment distance and
wavelength of emitted light. In conclusion, light should be regarded as
an effective medication with strong potential to cure SAD symptoms. Light
is a versatile therapeutic tool that can be combined with other therapies.
Some studies have
reported positive responses in patients with non-seasonal depression,
premenstrual syndrome (late luteal dysphoria), bulimia, and alcohol withdrawal
symptoms. Further work in these areas is clearly warranted. Beneficial
results have also been obtained in certain cases by using the known capacity
of light administration and light restriction to shift circadian rhythms.
Cases where this therapy have been used include those of patients with
stable circadian rhythm abnormalities such as delayed sleep phase syndrome
(DSPS) or advanced sleep phase syndrome (ASPS). Patients with DSPS have
trouble falling asleep and waking up at conventional times; they can be
helped by being exposed to bright light in the morning and having their
environmental light restricted in the afternoon and evening. ASPS is most
common in the elderly; their tendency to fall asleep and wake at inconveniently
early hours can be alleviated if they are exposed to bright light at night.
Therapeutic
guidelines for the treatment of SAD
1. Encourage
daily walks outdoors; the patient may look up at the sky but never directly
into the sun. Enhance indoor lighting with regular lamps and fixtures.
2. Set a timer on a light to go on early in the morning in the patient's
bedroom. Consider a dawn simulator for a natural artificial dawn.
3. Initiate Q.Light® therapy with 10,000 lux starting with
30 minutes in the morning or at any time of day that is convenient for
the patient. Increase the duration if symptoms become more severe, up
to 45 minutes twice a day.
4. Aerobic exercises, preferably in combination with exposure to bright
light may be quite helpful.
5. To help the patient manage stress, suggest vacations (preferably in
the southern hemisphere) at strategic times, and provide support, counselling
and therapy.

How
to treat SAD with Q.Light®
For
optimal results with Q.Light® SAD CARE therapy, it is important
to apply an effective dose. To receive adequate biological response
an average dose is applied to the eyes for 30 mins at the minimum
treatment distance. The light beam is directed, from the front,
at a right angle to the face. The treatment should be applied on
a daily basis. It is not necessary to look directly into the light
beam! One can read a book or magazine whilst receiving the light
therapy treatment dose.
Some
studies have reported positive responses in patients with non-seasonal
depression, premenstrual syndrome (late luteal dysphoria), bulimia,
and alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Beneficial results have also been
obtained by using the known capacity of light administration and
light restriction to shift circadian rhythms.
