A Montpellier-based med-tech company specializing in neurology, Regenlife works in particular on Alzheimer’s disease, and more recently has turned its attention to the problem of acute concussion in high-level athletes. “Our originality lies in treating people with a non-invasive medical device that uses three-photon light-stimulation technology<\/em>,” explains Regenlife CEO Dr. Patrice Cristofini. The treatment is called photobiomodulation. <\/p>\n

It was almost by chance that Regenlife became interested in concussions. A machine left at the MHR to treat haematomas, and the sagacity of Philippe Malafosse who suggested that the med-tech company transpose its research on Alzheimer’s disease to the problems of concussions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“With each session, the effect improves”.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]”This stimulation reduces inflammation time. This acts directly on the neurons, <\/em>explains Patrice Cristofini. We regenerate suffering cells. We have observed that not only do athletes feel good, but the effect improves with each session. <\/em>”<\/p>\n

Concretely, the concussion patient wears a helmet fitted with pins which diffuses three red and infrared photon sources onto the area of the brain to be treated. Treatment takes place in 20-minute sessions, repeated one or more times. “It’s a non-invasive, pain-free device, and we’ve demonstrated that there are no side effects,”<\/em> adds Patrice Cristofini.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1751961888948{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #99E5F0 !important;border-radius: 3px !important;border-color: #676262 !important;}”]” The competition is global, and we need to be visible<\/em>,” concludes Micha\u00ebl Delafosse, Mayor of Montpellier and President of Montpellier M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e M\u00e9tropole.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Source link<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
