The firefly photobiomodulation technology is FDA approved as a general wellness product. The device is a multi-spectrum therapy that delivers packets of light called photons. These photons break up inflammation by dilating blood and lymphatic vessels, therefore increasing the release of nitric oxide (NO). Increased circulation helps to remove the toxins produced by inflammation thereby decreasing pain and accelerating healing and repair of damaged tissues.
Near infrared light works at the cellular level by a process known as photobiomodulation. Light packets (photons) stimulate cytochrome c oxidase which is the third part of the electron transport chain inside a cell’s mitochondria. The mitochondria are the “powerhouses” of the cell generating the ATP molecule which is used for energy by all of the cells. This facilitates all cellular activities including metabolism, detoxification, immune function, and a host of other properties. Local application of the photons emitted by the firefly machine can aid in achieving better well being and overall health, especially in aging populations.
Firefly technology has over 20 years of research and is used to help alleviate the discomfort associated with the following conditions:
- Autoimmune disorders
- Alzheimer disease
- Back Pain
- Bell’s Palsy
- Carpel tunnel syndrome
- Diabetes complications
- Fungal infections
- Gut issues and parasites
- IBS
- Menstrual cramps
- Neuropathies
- Osteoarthritis
- Parkinson disease
- Plantar fasciitis
- Traumatic brain injury
- Stroke
- Wound Healing
- Asthma
- COPD
- IBS
- Leaky gut
CONTRAINDICATIONS for firefly use include:
- Pregnancy
- Eyes (must wear protective glasses)
- Cancer
- Infections
- Retinal damage in diabetes
The cost for firefly treatment with Dr. Marra is as follows:
(1) 10 minute session – $45.00 per one body area
(10) 10 minute sessions – $410.00
(20) 10 minutes sessions – $820.00
(30) 10 minute sessions – $1,230.00
(50) 10 minute sessions – $1,640.00
These sessions CANNOT be performed on the same part of the body more than every other day to allow the body to use the photons to help heal the injury on the off days. Please drink plenty of water before, during and after a therapy session. Dr. Marra will assess how well you are healing to give you an idea of how many sessions will be required as well.
You MUST wear protective red light glasses during ANY therapeutic session to protect your eyes from potentially harmful red light in your eyes.
This technology treats the following by disrupting the inflammatory cycle and restoring health to injured tissues:
- joint and muscle pain
- inflammation
- fibromyalgia
- acute and chronic injuries
- IBS
- neck pain
- back pain
- sciatica
- neuropathy
- carpel tunnel syndrome
- bursitis
- arthritis
- bloating
- gut motility
- tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- brain fog
- Alzheimer disease
- Parkinson disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- headache
- Covid lung pain and discomfort
- Long Covid
- breaks up scar tissue
- increases blood flow and oxygen to tissues
- lowers proinflammatory cytokines
- restores balance to the body rather quickly
