The new Weber Medical LED Infrared Helmet is being used for transcranial photobiomodulation therapies which is the direct irradiation of the human brain with highly focused infrared light. Unlike other wavelengths, infrared light has the ability to penetrate bones and to bring light energy to the targeted brain areas as the photons are absorbed by different types of cells to trigger a broad range of intracellular effects. The overall effects include: - increased ATP-production - improved cerebral blood flow - improved oxygen availability - activation of signaling pathways and transcription factors that cause long lasting beneficial changes in protein expression - cytoprotective, anti-oxidant and anti apoptotic effects in cells due to a temporary and local increase of Reactive Oxygen Species. The therapy is non invasive, painless and non thermal. The helmet was designed as a home-use product for end customers but can also be used in clinical settings. In general, transcranial photobiomodulation therapies are being used to treat - neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer´s, Parkinson´s, dementia or declining cognitive functions in general - traumatic brain injuries and strokes - psychological disorders such as depression or anxiety The user is free to choose the treatment time, treatment intensity and frequency of the light (from 0Hz [=continuous wave] to 20.000 Hz). The technical parameters are: 320 diodes: 810nm, 50mW / diode Total power: 16W Frequency: 1 - 20,000 Hz Intensity: 25, 50 ,75 or 100% Recommended treatment duration: 20-30 minutes/day
