The Ultimate in Light Therapy

Varichrome® Pro

Proven therapy that prompts the body to heal.

Overview

Introducing

Varichrome® Pro

The Ultimate Device in Photobiomodulation (PBM)

The Varichrome® Pro helps patients who remain underserved by current technologies.

For the first time, let the body select the wavelengths it needs to resume healing.

INDIVIDUALIZED.   FAST.   NON-INVASIVE

Are you looking for an advanced light therapy device that can provide you with the full range of the visible spectrum for a variety of benefits?

 

Look no further than the Varichrome® Pro, the latest innovation from PhotoMed Technologies.

At the heart of Varichrome's unique features is its ability to output the entire red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet spectrums, all while varying them at the same time. And, with no missing wavelengths.

 

This advanced technology allows for targeted light therapy that can be customized to meet your patient's specific needs.

But what exactly is photobiomodulation therapy (PBM), and how can it benefit your patient?

​

(Also known as LLLT or light therapy.)

​

Photobiomodulation therapy has been shown to have a wide range of benefits, including improved energy flow, reduced inflammation, and improved quality of life, among others.

 

The Varichrome Pro's versatile varying-wavelength spectrum output and ability to vary the wavelength and frequency simultaneously. The user efficiently lets the body select the specific combinations that it needs to resume its ordinary functions.

A few examples:

  • Aches and pains from aging

  • Muscle knots that won't quit

  • Lost range of motion

  • Rehabilitation after stroke or spinal cord injury

  • Arthritis

  • Impaired sensations in fingers or feet

  • Post-surgical pain, such as at scars

The Varichrome Pro is also incredibly easy to use, with a user-friendly interface and simple controls that allow you to adjust the intensity, frequency, and color spectrum with ease.

 

And with its sleek and compact design, you can easily take it with you wherever you go.

So why wait? Experience the ultimate in light therapy with a Varichrome Pro from PhotoMed Technologies.

 

Order now and start feeling the benefits of targeted, customizable light therapy today.

Fixed-wavelength Pathways

The evidence supporting visible-light therapy

Conventional photobiomodulation therapies (PBM) typically deliver one or a few discrete wavelengths from each device. Wavelengths in the red spectrum (630-700nm) have been shown to activate cytochrome c oxidase to improve mitochondrial functioning. However, wavelengths in the blue spectrum (400-450nm) have also been shown to improve mitochondrial functioning via a different mechanism.

​

Which wavelengths may be optimum? We don't know.

​

That's where the Varichrome® Pro shines by delivering all the wavelengths from 430 to 700nm, a few at a time. More wavelengths means that the body can utilize additional mechanisms to accelerate healing.

 

The body heals itself with a little help from the Varichrome® Pro.

One or multiple?

Could this be why the Varichrome® Pro is so efficient?

Photobiomodulation therapies (PBM) provide photonic energy and information (wavelength) to the skin and deeper tissues. Photo-transducing mechanisms of action (MOA) convert the energy to the forms needed by the various healing processes.

The Varichrome® Pro solves some fundamental problems:

  1. The wavelength needed to restart/accelerate healing is unknown when therapy begins.

  2. The healing processes may need 2 or more wavelengths to get going.

  3. The needed wavelengths may change during therapy.

Paper

A review of a few mechanisms of action

Since terrestrial life began, organisms have needed to detect and respond to small differences spectral distributions. The organism's life depended upon navigating and responding to those differences.

​

PhotoMed's variable-wavelength therapy activates these ancient and current mechanisms.

A 2019 review paper by Serrage et al. includes details of the effects for 53 discrete visible wavelengths (diamonds in the graphic below).

The paper mentions multiple photo-transducing pathways:

  • Cytochrome c oxidase

  • Opsins

  • Flavins and flavoproteins

  • Nitric oxide (NO)-containing compounds and nitrite reductases

  • Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFkB)

  • Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) signaling

  • Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling

  • Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling

  • Extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling

  • c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)

Serrage, H., Heiskanen, V., Palin, W.M. et al. Under the spotlight: mechanisms of photobiomodulation concentrating on blue and green light. Photochem Photobiol Sci 18, 1877–1909 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1039/c9pp00089e

The studies aimed to link a discrete wavelength with a mechanism.

 

Few studies compared multiple wavelengths for a single mechanism or multiple mechanisms for a single wavelength. The concepts of synergy or context were not considered.

​

The Varichrome Pro can sweep 430-700nm wavelengths in 8 seconds. The delivery of continuously varying wavelengths lets multiple mechanisms operate sequentially or simultaneously.

Figure 2 - The Varichrome® Pro can deliver wavelengths across the visible spectrum, multiple pathways may be stimulated in parallel and/or serially. The visible spectrum can be traversed in 8 seconds. However, the patient measures success by their improved quality of life.

Summary

The Varichrome® Pro uniquely delivers visible wavelengths (430-700nm) from a single device. There are multiple mechanisms that convert the photonic energy and information to forms useful to the healing systems. Then, the body can heal itself.

Details

A few details about the Varichrome Pro

The Varichrome® Pro selectively emits photons with wavelengths throughout the visible spectrum (430-690nm), a few wavelengths at a time.

​

With no missing wavelengths.

Its analog controls let the practitioner manually or automatically vary the wavelength and frequency during therapy.

  1. #1-5 span the visible spectrum

  2. #6 yellow

  3. #7 spans 430-690nm

  • Adjustable-rate of wavelength variation in programmed selections: ~4 - 32nm/second

  • Manual range: 430-700nm

  • Frequency: continuous to 500Hz

  • Dimensions: L x W x H: 6.6 x 3.5 x 1.8 inches (Control unit w/o knobs)
