How many wave lengths of light are used and what do they do?
In the DreamSpa we have five different programs and we use 3 different wave lengths that are the most studied wave lengths in phototherapy research. We use Deep Red, Ultra Blue and NIR (near infra red) wavelengths.
In our five programs we use these three wavelengths in a proprietary mix:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where can you use the DreamSpa? Can you use it in a recliner chair?
You can use the DreamSpa on the couch, a bed, a massage table, a recliner chair or the floor. We have designed it to support your head and neck. You will find it very comfortable to use
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How many positions does the canopy have?
The canopy has two positions. One for over the face and neck for renewal and energy. The second position goes all the way back and is perfect for getting a hair and scalp session.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is this product really made for?
Stress Relief, Energy, Mood Lifting and Cosmetics.
We have designed a menu of programs that will offer profound stress relief and put you to sleep during the session, we call this the siesta effect. While these programs are re-energizing your body and providing profound stress relief they also work with brain waves and brain wave entrainment. It is well known that lower brain waves promote your body to regenerate and repair itself at the core. It is also well known that the body goes into profound stress reduction if we can get your brain waves to relax and rest. How do we do this? Please see our section on Brainwave Entrancement for details.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are there any known dangers or side effects to using phototherapy?
There has been over 50 years of research worldwide on phototherapy and thousands of papers published studying this kind of energy. We designed the DreamSpa to use 12 volt DC electric power, the most safe / cleanest EMF for humans and pets. There is no over doing it even if you stay in it 24 hours a day which would not hurt you but would not give you any better results. There are no known side effects other than a slight detox for some people. Unless you have a known sensitivity to phototherapy or on photosensitive drugs that your doctor has put you on. This system is effective for about 85 % of people, there is no system for everyone and we cannot claim that. See section on Safety.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What about EMFs?
Many people have a misunderstanding about EMF's. There are negative EMF fields and just as many positive EMF fields. Anything that has even one atom has a EMF field. The EMF field of the DreamSpa is a direct current field "DC" which is perfectly clean and safe. The only frequencies in this DC field are the wavelengths of light that we put in them. The wavelengths we use are the 3 most tested wavelengths in research history and considered highly beneficial. The DreamSpa is an entirely safe system and is designed to have only 100% positive healthy effects.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are the sessions automatically timed?
Yes they are. Each session is 30 minutes. Once you press the start button, the system goes on and completes its cycle within 30 minutes. If you turn off the system you will have to restart it again. The half hour programs seem to be perfect for most people.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it ok to use an eye pillow or eye visors?
Certainly, you can still have cosmetic effects because the effects are systemic. The lights are not as bright as you think, because in true phototherapy it is not about power, it’s about the right amount of light energy over the duration of the session time to create the effect we are looking for.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it ok for everyday use?
Yes it is. Once a day or even twice a day is probably just fine. More than that is probably unnecessary. This is not one of those products that more is better. Everybody is a little bit different in the way there body absorbs and uses energy. Some people once a day and some people one session two or three times a week. After the eighth or tenth session your body really keeps this energy, the energy is cumulative. Your body battery stays charged longer and you will probably notice this as you use the unit in your own life. It’s a great maintenance technology. You can have the best car in the world but if it does not have gas in its tank it’s not going to work very well for you. This photon energy has been one of the missing links that phototherapy adds to the picture of total wellness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How delicate is the machine and how heavy is it?
The DreamSpa is not heavy, it weights about a 4.5 pounds and is designed with very sturdy materials. You would have to probably run over it in your car to break it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How long do the lights last?
What is interesting about the LED’s is that they hardly generate any heat at all, and we do not overdrive the LED’s. So the LED life would be ten to fifteen years. That is one of the beauty of using LED’s , most of the energy is expended in the light wave itself, not in the generation of heat like a normal light bulbs. Normal light bulbs waste about 90 % of their energy as heat and not as photons. LED’s are just the opposite.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I use the Dream Spa in other areas other than the face?
Yes you can although we have a fixed attached canopy. We have had people put their legs, knees and even small pets. Pets respond very well to phototherapy, as many of you know who have used phototherapy on your pets. Light Health Research has some testimonies on pets. Phototherapy actually started out in Europe about 50 years ago with Veterinarians.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the electrical system?
The system is a 12 volt DC system. 12 Volt DC is the perfect clean electricity with the eclectic magnetic field to put around people and animals. Many phototherapy systems out there are still on 120/ 60 cycle electricity. We want a very safe system and you could not shock yourself with this even if you tried. On top of that, having the automatic programs means you do not have to think about it. Just push the Start button, let it run and it will turn itself off when it is finished.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What would be the youngest age to use phototherapy?
It’s a case by case issue and certainly it is not harmful at all. Research has been done on pregnant women at UCLA and other universities. You can check out Dr. Harry Whelan’s website at the Milwaukee children’s hospital on use of light therapy with children. Dr. Ott, one of the great inventors of lighting found that if schools would use full spectrum lighting the kids would become more attentive, focused, smarter and less restless and aggressive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you use the Dream Spa in Europe or overseas?
Yes, the product was designed to work in different countries and automatically converts to the right current.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does this light therapy make Vitamin D?
No, ultra violet light from the sun makes Vitamin D. It is also the same light that may cause skin cancer. We suggest you take look at the great research available on Vitamin D supplementation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it a portable unit?
It is not designed to fit in your suitcase or lay flat. This unit was designed for the home and office. Although this is not designed as a “portable” unit it is small enough you probably could take it with you.

When you are NOT deeply resting your brain is in Beta stress brainwaves of 15-40 Hz per second and these are seriously affected...
Energy ~ Mental Clarity ~ Brain Fog Fatigue ~ Weight Gain ~ Loss of Quality of Life
For the three DreamSpa programs Renew, Body Calm and Body Relief, in the first 10 minutes of a session brainwaves are relaxed from 25-35 cycles Beta to 10 cycles Alpha which induces a soothing relaxation and calming sensation in mind and body. This is what disciplined meditators try to achieve.
In the second 10 minutes of the session brainwaves are entranced to 8 cycles Theta, which is difficult for most meditators because they are still awake. Only by drifting into a sleep state at 8 cycles Theta does the body enter into profound stress relief and mental clarity as the brain begins to deeply rest.
In the last 10 minutes of the session brainwaves are entranced to 5 cycles Theta. This is the Miracle zone where significant physiological, not just psychological, but physiological brain regeneration takes place. So, now the brain is repairing or rebooting itself ohysiologically as it does in deep sleep.
Brainwave EnhancementTM
The DreamSpa innovation in Profound Stress Relief and Brain Repair.
In the first session, the lights may seem overly bright, this is an illusion, it will not hurt your eyes and will settle down as you get used to it.
The lights will seem to make movies, geometric patterns or mandalas in your mind, this may change as the session progresses and the effects will be different in each of the 3 programs that have BrainWave EntrancementTM Most people really enjoy this additional effect. You can always turn this effect off by pressing the TRANCE button.
You may see many different colors during your session. This is because the cones and rods in your eyes are unique to your eyes. Occasionally some people may see a green tint in their vision right after a session. This is because green is a complementary color to your eyes red receptors. This is natural, non-harmful and will fade away very soon after a session.
For some people it may take two or three sessions to realize the full effects and benefits. Especially in the first session because your mind is curious, thinking too much and wondering what to expect. Once your mind has become comfortable or feels safe, you will go to a much deeper and enjoyable level with each successive session.
At about the 3rd to 5th session you may feel and be at an energy level you may not have experienced so far in this life. This is because your body was born out of your mother’s body and she could only give you what energy she had to give you. This energy that you are born with is called your body organ reserve or body energy reserve. This body energy reserve tends to be depleted by the time you turn 30 to 40 yrs old. The
DreamSpa helps you to replenish your energy and “charge your battery”.
This is a health maintenance technology. The energy you receive from the DreamSpa is cumulative. The more consistently you recharge you body the more you can get from it. You will begin to regenerate more than you are degenerating. This is true anti-aging.
Having low energy is very stressful to your body, mind and mood, so as you recharge your energy, the stress goes down, your mind clears up and your mood lightens.
How to choose which program to use:
How do you feel?
Low energy, want to regenerate? Use the Renew program.
Too wired, amped up or moody? Use the Blue Calm program.
Aches and Pains or Body Stress? Use the Body Relief program.

Phototherapy has been studied extensively in Europe and the US for over thirty years and has been the subject of over 3,500 scientific papers, published worldwide. There are no reported negative side effects to the therapy, which is painless, non-toxic and compliments many traditional therapies.
In 1991, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development along with the National Institute of neuralgic Disorders and Stroke declared phototherapy to be safe.
Phototherapy is non-invasive and considered safe enough to be used in the Milwaukee Children's Hospital in Wisconsin to energize cells and prevent growth of chemo-induced mouth sores that keep patient's from eating. Dr. Harry T. Whelan has successfully treated wounds, third degree burns and brain cancer.
Dr. Whelan is the phototherapy consultant to NASA. NASA is planning to install phototherapy systems in the international space station because in the zero gravity of space astronaut’s muscles atrophy and wounds heal much slower than on earth.
Although a relatively new cutting edge science, phototherapy has made the cover of national and international publications:
National Geographic (January 2001)
Popular Science magazine (April 2000).
Biophotonics International (October 2000).
Books written on the subject include:
Mellen Thomas
Developer of the DreamSpa
Mellen has been a researcher and inventor in the field of Photon Therapy and Cellular Communication for over 25 years. He is a health technology consultant and popular lecturer on the subject of Anti-Aging, Quantum Biology and Photon Therapy.
