Regenerative vs. Conventional Light Therapy Devices: How They Differ

We recently announced our partnership with DNA Vibe (read it here!) and we have been getting questions about why the patented DNA Vibe Jazz Band s superior to traditional light therapy devices on the market today. It comes down to following the science and physics of how light energy interacts with matter, aka the body. Traditional devices on the market offer restorative effects, similar to a heating pad. This is great in moderation if you are treating minor aches and pains. But for those who suffer from serious injuries and chronic pain and inflammation, these devices only offer temporary relief and can in fact cause worse harm if not used in moderation and with care.

For regenerative therapy, long term healing, a device based upon both science and physics needs to be utilized on a consistent basis. This is where the DNA Vibe Jazz Band comes in, offering truly regenerative therapy! I'm going to geek out on you for a bit here, but it's important to understand these differences so I'm going to do my best to simplify the explanation.  Or if you prefer to just order and explore on your own, click here!

Regenerative Light Therapy helps boost the body’s natural DNA-driven regenerative processes to help accelerate and improve recovery, whereas conventional light therapies function primarily like heating pads, where the light is the source or cause of the warming effect. In the context of red light therapy devices, the vast majority of devices on the market function a lot like a heating pad, except light is the source or cause of heat instead of electricity. Whether powered by light, electricity, or otherwise, heating pads can have a soothing effect. For example, a heating pad can help relax and sooth an achy tennis elbow; but after using it, you’ll still have tennis elbow.

In contrast, Regenerative Light Therapy is non-thermal and does not primarily operate on the basis of warming aches and pains (although they can be even more soothing, especially when combining the regenerative effects with nerve-gating micro-vibrations and specially designed complementary gel packs). 

As the name implies, Regenerative Light Therapy is designed to stimulate or boost the body’s natural DNA-driven regenerative processes. When the body is injured in any way, its natural response is to stimulate DNA expression to accelerate the development of healthy new tissues to help replace or repair damaged tissues. This is happening to you and in you even as you read this blog. By helping boost the body’s natural regenerative processes through molecular excitation of DNA, Regenerative Light Therapy helps accelerate and improve recovery...naturally. Unlike a heating pad that can help you feel better, Regenerative Light Therapy can help you feel better while also getting better.  Goodbye tennis elbow!

Why does it matter?

Conventional light therapy devices are orders of magnitude more powerful than DNA Vibe Jazz Band. They typically have 10-times (or more) the number of emitters per area, and the emitters typically have virtually no diffusion or attenuation. Most conventional products actually boast about having “more power” or being “the most powerful.” However, when it comes to stimulating the body’s natural regenerative processes, less is more...this is the very best and most natural and healthy way to accelerate and improve recovery and reduce aches and pains.

Stimulating molecular excitation of DNA to boost the body’s natural regenerative processes is an extremely gentle and precise process requiring the lowest possible amount of properly calibrated energy – a tuned whisper, and not a brute shout. It’s a classic example of “less is more.” Too much energy overwhelms excitation, leaving only thermal effects (which are non-regenerative).

As a simple example, when you rub the rim of a crystal Champaign glass with a delicate touch and at just the right circular speed (aka frequency), you can get the glass to sing or hum. Happy glass. This is a great example of the kind of molecular excitation that stimulates the body’s regenerative processes. The delicate touch at just the right speed excites the molecular structure of the crystal, and that excitation returns the mechanical energy from your fingertip in the form of acoustic energy which you can hear as singing. But, if you’ve ever tried this, you’ll note that if you press just a little too hard with your finger on the rim of the glass, the singing stops. In other words, too much power kills excitation. Killing excitation inhibits or fails to promote the natural regenerative processes, because excitation is the key to stimulating DNA expression.

In short, with Regenerative Light Therapy, you can enjoy more significant and longer lasting results without the safety concerns of much higher-powered thermally-focused wearables (and without spending so much on what amounts to little more than a relatively expensive heating pad).

How can I tell the difference?

This is an easy one! DNA Vibe’s Regenerative Light Therapy devices are patented precisely because they are unique (you cannot get a patent unless you’re different and demonstrably better than other technologies out there).  When you see DNA Vibe’s Regenerative Light Therapy, you’ll see only 10 total emitters, and each of them is highly diffused (a relatively small number of large diffused discs of light and not a high-density array of many sharp and unattenuated points of light). This obvious difference is very easy to spot.

You’ll also note that DNA Vibe’s Regenerative Light Therapy has multiple modes. It has extremely low levels of precisely calibrated red and near-infrared which are quite different from conventional red and infrareds which are far more powerful and unstabilized. It also has pulsed and randomized micro-vibrations and micro-magnetic square pulses. This unique and patented combination of modes is designed to stimulate molecular excitation vs. thermal effects in order to boost the body’s natural regenerative recovery processes. You also can’t miss the soothing effects of the randomized micro-vibrations which also help stop pain signals (as many have observed, the sharper the pain, the more soothing the relief). The unique rubberized silicone construction is essential for stimulating regenerative effects by allowing for controlled light diffusion and near-perfect vibrational propagation. In this way, silicone is far more than just a feature; it's a foundational part of the magic. You won’t find that in any other conventional fuzzy-pad wearable.
