Question 1

What is Bioptron light therapy?

Accepted Answer

Bioptron is a Swiss-made, CE-certified medical device that emits polarised, polychromatic, incoherent light across 480–3,400nm. It works at the cellular level to accelerate healing, reduce pain and inflammation, and support the body's natural repair processes. It has been used in hospitals and clinics worldwide for over 30 years.

Question 2

How is Bioptron different from red light therapy or LED panels?

Accepted Answer

Bioptron is not a standard LED panel or red light therapy device. The key differences are: Bioptron emits polarised light — achieving over 95% polarisation which standard LED panels cannot match. It is polychromatic — covering 480–3,400nm across visible, near-infrared and infrared, activating multiple healing pathways simultaneously. It uses Nobel Prize-winning Fullerene C60 nanophotonic optics to create Quantum Hyperlight. It is CE-certified as a medical device — not a wellness gadget. It is backed by 86 peer-reviewed clinical studies.

Question 3

Is Bioptron a medical device?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bioptron is CE-certified under EU Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC, FDA-cleared for pain (No. K032216), TGA-registered in Australia, and Health Canada certified. It is used in hospitals, physiotherapy clinics, wound care units, and dermatology practices worldwide.

Question 4

Who makes Bioptron?

Accepted Answer

Bioptron is manufactured by Zepter International, a Swiss company with over 30 years of medical device manufacturing experience. Brilin Functional Medicine Centre is the authorised Bioptron agent for New Zealand and Australia.

Question 5

How long has Bioptron been available?

Accepted Answer

Bioptron has been available since the 1980s and has been used in clinical settings for over 30 years. Brilin Functional Medicine Centre has been the authorised NZ agent since 2010.

Question 6

What is Quantum Hyperlight?

Accepted Answer

Quantum Hyperlight is the name for Bioptron's patented light technology that incorporates Nobel Prize-winning Fullerene C60 nanophotonic optics. When Bioptron light passes through the C60 fullerene filter it becomes hyperpolarised — achieving a degree of polarisation exceeding 95%. This Quantum Hyperlight shares the same structural symmetry as 75% of human body matter, allowing it to interact with biological molecules at a fundamentally deeper level than standard polarised light.

Question 7

What is the difference between sunlight and Bioptron light?

Accepted Answer

In contrast to sunlight, BIOPTRON light is strictly controlled and does not contain potentially harmful UV radiation, making it 100% safe for your skin.

Question 8

Is Bioptron light preferable to laser light?

Accepted Answer

Special design makes BIOPTRON light polychromatic and incoherent, meaning it covers a wider area safely and gently without the tissue damage risks associated with high-intensity lasers.

Question 9

Is Bioptron safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bioptron emits no UV radiation, produces no dangerous heat, and has no known side effects when used as directed. It is CE-certified as safe for all ages including newborns and has been used in clinical settings for over 30 years with an excellent safety record.

Question 10

Can children and babies use Bioptron?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bioptron is CE-certified as safe for use from birth. It has been used in paediatric hospitals across Europe. Use shorter treatment times for young children — 2–3 minutes per area for babies, 3–5 minutes for children.

Question 11

Are there any contraindications?

Accepted Answer

Bioptron should not be used by people with photosensitive conditions without medical advice. If you are pregnant, taking photosensitising medications, or have a complex medical condition, consult your healthcare provider before use.

Question 12

Can I use Bioptron alongside my medication?

Accepted Answer

Bioptron is generally safe alongside most medications. However if you are taking photosensitising medications consult your doctor first. Always inform your healthcare provider that you are using light therapy.

Question 13

Is it safe for animals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bioptron is widely used in veterinary settings — by vets, equine practitioners, and the Rotorua SPCA. It is non-invasive, painless, and animals typically accept treatment easily. There are no known contraindications for veterinary use.

Question 14

What are the negative side effects of Bioptron light therapy?

Accepted Answer

BIOPTRON has no known negative side effects. It is a completely safe, non-invasive therapy.

Question 15

How do I use Bioptron?

Accepted Answer

Point it at bare skin, hold it 10cm away, press the button. Treat each area for 4–8 minutes once or twice daily. Brilin training materials are included with every purchase.

Question 16

How long should each session be?

Accepted Answer

4–8 minutes per treatment area for adults. 3–5 minutes for children. 2–3 minutes for babies. Most people treat 1–3 areas per session.

Question 17

How often should I use Bioptron?

Accepted Answer

Once or twice daily for best results. For acute conditions twice daily is recommended. For maintenance once daily is sufficient.

Question 18

Do I need to be naked or remove clothing?

Accepted Answer

Bioptron works best on bare skin with direct light contact. Remove clothing from the treatment area. Do not treat through clothing — fabric blocks the light.

Question 19

Which lens should I use?

Accepted Answer

The Fullerene C60 Hyperlight lens is the primary lens included with all Bioptron devices and is used for most conditions. The 7 colour therapy lenses (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) are used for specific applications. Full lens guidance is available in Bioptron Academy at app.bioptronacademy.com

Question 20

Can I use Bioptron on my face?

Accepted Answer

Yes — with eyes closed or protected. Do not shine Bioptron directly into open eyes. Ask the person being treated to close their eyes or use the provided eye protection during facial treatment.

Question 21

Can I use Bioptron every day?

Accepted Answer

Yes — daily use is recommended for best results. Bioptron is safe for daily use with no known risk of overuse.

Question 22

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! We provide full instructions and guidance on how to use the device effectively for your specific condition.

Question 25

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

For acute conditions many people notice improvement within the first 5–10 sessions. For chronic conditions consistent daily use over 2–4 weeks produces the most significant results. Some people notice improvement after the very first session. Results vary between individuals and conditions.

Question 26

Can Bioptron cure my condition?

Accepted Answer

Bioptron is a supportive therapy — it works with the body's natural healing processes to accelerate repair, reduce inflammation and manage pain. It is not presented as a cure for any condition. Always consult your healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions.

Question 27

Can I use Bioptron alongside conventional medical treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bioptron is designed to be used as a supportive therapy alongside, not as a replacement for, conventional medical treatment. Always inform your healthcare provider that you are using Bioptron.

Question 28

Does Bioptron work for animals?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and the fact that animals cannot experience a placebo effect makes animal results particularly compelling evidence of Bioptron's genuine efficacy. Bioptron has been used successfully on dogs, cats, horses, livestock, zoo animals and wildlife including at Auckland Zoo and the Rotorua SPCA.

Question 29

How much does Bioptron cost?

Accepted Answer

The Bioptron MedAll is $2,160 NZD. The Bioptron Pro 1 starts from $4,900 NZD. Both include Brilin training materials. Optional add-ons include colour therapy lenses, floor stand and accessories. Call us on 0800 774 885 for a full quote.

What is the difference between MedAll and Pro 1?
