Safety

Cancer

There is no evidence that red and near infrared light generate or promote cancer in any way. In fact, red light is being used as a treatment for skin and mucosal damage following radiotherapy, especially for head and neck tumours. Red and near infrared photobiomodulation has not been shown to promote tumour activity and in fact there is some evidence that it stimulates cancer cells to do what they should be doing, to kill themselves off.

Seizures

The Duo Coronet and intranasal CoroNase lights are pulsed at 40Hz. This pulse rate is outside the standard range shown to induce seizures. If you are concerned, we can change the pulse rate. Contact us for more information.

Implants

People with various kinds of implants, including intracerebral deep brain stimulation (DBS), have used the Duo Coronet and CoroNase with no difficulties and no adverse effects. The implants and the lights happily ignore each other.

Hypersensitivity

Some people can be more sensitive to light than others, and in these situations, we suggest using a low light “dose” to start with. Contact us for advice.
