BioScan Therapy helps the body to:

• Increase circulation by increasing the formation of new capillaries. New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more oxygen and the nutrients needed for healing and they can also carry more waste products away.
  
  
• Stimulate the production of collagen - the essential protein used to repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. By increasing collagen production less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site.
  
  
• Stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the major carrier of energy to all cells. Increases in ATP allow cells to accept nutrients faster and get rid of waste products faster by increasing the energy level in the cell.
  
  
• Increase lymphatic system activity. Research has shown that the lymph vessel diameter and the flow of the lymph system can be doubled with the use of light therapy. The venous diameter and the arterial diameters can also be increased. This means that Edema (liquid and protein) can be evacuated at a much faster rate to relieve swelling.
  
  
• Increase RNA and DNA synthesis. This helps damaged cells to be replaced more promptly.
  
  
• Reduce the excitability of nervous tissue. The photons of light energy enter the body as negative ions. This calls upon the body to send positive ions like calcium among others to go to the area being treated. These ions assist in firing the nerves thereby relieving pain.
  
  
• Stimulate fibroblastic activity which aids in the repair process. Fibroblasts are present in connective tissue and are capable of forming collagen fibers.
  
  
• Increase the process of destroying and cleaning up dead cells. This is an important part of the infection fighting process. Destruction of the infection and clean up must occur before the healing process can take place.
  
  
• Induce a thermal-like effect in the tissue. The light raises the temperature of the cells although there is no heat produced from the diodes themselves. Stimulate tissue granulation and connective tissue projections, which are part of the healing process of wounds, ulcers or inflamed tissue.
  
  
• Stimulate acetylcholine release. Acetylcholine causes cardiac inhibition, vasodilation, gastrointestinal peristalsis and other parasympathetic effects.
