Revolutionize Your Healing with Firefly Red Light Laser Technology
We’re thrilled to announce a cutting-edge addition to our wellness services: the Firefly red light laser. Developed by Dr. Maurice Bales of Bales Photonics, this advanced technology is now available exclusively at the office of Dr. Susan L. Marra, making us the only provider on the Kitsap Peninsula to offer this medical-grade red light laser therapy. We’re proud to be the only provider in the region offering this powerful, medical-grade red light laser therapy. Read on to learn what it is, how it works, and whether it might be the right fit for your health goals, plus how to book your first appointment!
What Is the Firefly Red Light Laser?
The Firefly red light laser is a revolutionary form of red light therapy that uses specific wavelengths to stimulate deep tissue healing, reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and regenerate mitochondria—the powerhouse of the cell. It is 10x more powerful than traditional LED technology – as powerful as Class IV lasers. Unlike traditional red light beds, this laser offers targeted, physician-grade precision for more effective treatment of both surface and deep tissues.
How Does Red Light Laser Therapy Work?
Red light falls within the near-infrared (625–750 nm) and far-infrared (750–1100 nm) spectrum. While near-infrared light treats surface tissues, far-infrared light penetrates deeper layers, including muscle and bone. The red light is absorbed by mitochondria, specifically the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, which then triggers a chemical reaction that boosts ATP production—fuel for cellular repair and regeneration.
Proven Benefits of Firefly Red Light Laser Therapy
The Firefly red light laser has shown effectiveness in a wide range of clinical and wellness applications:
- Accelerates wound healing
- Promotes increased blood circulation
- Reduces inflammation
- Stimulates ATP production
- Enhances tissue regeneration
- Encourages hair growth
Conditions That May Improve with Red Light Laser Therapy
Due to its broad cellular benefits, this therapy may support treatment for:
- Diabetes and circulatory issues
- Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease
- IBS and digestive inflammation
- Sinusitis, bursitis, and arthritis
- Bone injuries and fractures
- Gingivitis and mouth ulcers
- Dermatitis, fungal infections, and parasites
Autoimmune imbalances - Muscle pain and fatigue
- Insomnia and stress-related conditions
Firefly Red Light Laser vs. Traditional Red Light Therapy
Unlike generalized red light therapy (e.g., red light beds), the Firefly red light laser delivers precise, high-intensity light to a focused area. This allows for deep tissue penetration, enabling it to assist with more complex issues such as bone repair, chronic inflammation, and even cellular detoxification.
Is Firefly Red Light Laser Safe?
This is a medical-grade device that must be operated by a trained physician or certified light therapist due to potential risks like tissue or eye damage. At our office, all sessions are carefully supervised. We start slow, typically 2–15 minutes per session, to ensure safety and optimal results.
However, red light laser therapy is not recommended for:
- Individuals with active cancer
- Those with epilepsy
- Patients with infectious open wounds
- Pregnant individuals
- Anyone exposed without protective eyewear
Additionally, those with chronic infections may experience a Herxheimer reaction (detox symptoms due to pathogen die-off), which can be managed with guidance from our team.
