Vielight Neuro 3 in Portland, OR, is the world’s best brain photobiomodulation device. Our patented transcranial-intranasal technology offers an unparalleled advantage for reaching both the ventral and cortical layers of the brain. The Vielight Neuro at our Medical Clinic in Portland, OR is available in three models: the Alpha, the Gamma, and the Duo. It is a next-generation brain stimulation device based on the science of photobiomodulation (PBM). It delivers an 810 nm near-infrared (NIR) energy via four transcranial LED modules and a nasal applicator. The headset’s transcranial LED modules target the hubs of the brain’s default mode network (DMN), which often represents the overall health of the brain.
Reactive oxygen species play a central role in the progression of inflammation. During inflammatory conditions, ROS production causes an increase in the migration of inflammatory cells to the damaged tissue. Furthermore, polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) increase ROS production at the location of inflammation. In turn, this causes dysfunction within endothelial cells and additional tissue injury.
The migration of inflammatory cells results in more injury in inflamed tissue, as well as pain, delaying the healing process ( Mittal et al., 2014 ). PBM (with light using wavelengths greater than 500 nm) increases the production of ROS in normal cells (Chen et al.). Thus, it reduces markers of oxidative stress in stressed and damaged cells (de Freitas & Hamblin, 2016 ), demonstrating that photobiomodulation promotes faster healing.
Furthermore, PBM can suppress inflammation by reduction in PGE2- levels and inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in cells (Bjordal et al., 2003). Cyclooxygenase-2 is an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain. Therefore, the appropriate dose of PBM directed to the injured tissue could positively control pain, reduce inflammation, and expedite healing.
Although the pain control mechanisms of PBM are not yet clearly understood, several theories have been proposed. The regulation of pain (Melzack & Wall, 1965), modulation of inflammation, upregulation of β-endorphin production (Laakso et al., 1994 ), direct inhibition of neural activity (Snyder-Mackler & Bork, 1988), and acceleration of healing are all mechanisms by which PBM is thought to control pain.
Vielight Neuro 3 uses photobiomodulation (PBM) technology to deliver 810 nm near-infrared light to the brain. This light is transmitted through both transcranial LED modules and a nasal applicator, which targets key areas of the brain's default mode network (DMN). This process can promote brain health by improving neuronal activity, enhancing circulation, and stimulating healing processes within the brain, potentially improving cognitive function, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
Vielight Neuro 3 is used to treat various neurological conditions, including but not limited to, cognitive decline, brain injuries, depression, and chronic pain. It may also help with stress management, sleep improvement, and mental clarity. By targeting inflammation and enhancing tissue healing, PBM therapy with Vielight Neuro 3 can be beneficial for a broad range of brain-related health issues.
