Program
Seaborough Life Science invents and develops lighting technologies to improve people’s well-being and health. We develop materials to enable novel light therapies to treat skin diseases and we conduct groundbreaking long-term research in the field of photobiomodulation.
Light is a vital source to life and to human health and wellbeing, just like food, water and air. The human body – and in particular the skin and the eyes – interacts in many different ways with light. Sunlight is essential for vitamin D3 generation in the skin, important for optimal health and associated with many health aspects. Light also strongly influences our circadian rhythm, which helps us sleep and recover well, physically and mentally.
Light therapy on the skin can be used to treat skin disorders, such as psoriasis, acne, eczema and neonatal jaundice. Light can be used effectively to treat and prevent seasonal affective disorder, and potentially other psychiatric disorders too. Red and near-infrared light can be used to reduce pain and accelerate wound healing and potentially much more, as we are researching in our current clinical trial.
Building on these proven therapies, Seaborough is constantly looking for new technologies in the field of lighting that contribute to human health and wellbeing.
