Platform

A light-conversion platform that delivers passive red light as an added feature

Innovative platform

Changing the red light game

Passiva has created a biocompatible material that converts ambient light into targeted red and infrared light. The material is a converter: it delivers specific energy from the wavelengths studied for collagen production, scar reduction, wound healing, and other biological functions.

The light-converting additive is built to be integrated into topical creams, serums, bandages, eyeglasses, contact lenses, sunglasses, minoxidil, and more.

How it works

Broadband in. Therapeutic band out.

PLT works through light conversion instead of light filtering, which diffuses the power of the light wave. Ambient and solar input is converted into the wavelengths associated with phototherapy while harmful blue and UV light is reduced.

Passive Light Technology™

PLT works through light conversion instead of light filtering. By converting sunlight and other ambient light into the wavelengths associated with phototherapy — while also reducing harmful blue and UV light — Passiva brings red light to everyday products as an additive.

Optimal bio-response

PLT additives are tuneable according to the specific needs of each application. The light therapy industry has reproducibly outlined a therapeutic dosage window, and PLT products are designed to fit into it.

Multiple wavelengths

PLT™ additives provide wavelength diversity, allowing a wide array of light therapy applications. They are currently able to be integrated into over 30 common polymers used across a diverse application pool.

Simple, effective applications

Passiva delivers red light into everyday products at the same wavelengths and dosages that powered red light products deliver, but as a passive conversion. Products may achieve enhanced benefits based on the addition of Passive Light Technology.

  • A biologically inert optical skin cream that increases collagen production, reduces wrinkles, absorbs UV, and can be combined with conventional serums and moisturizers
  • An eyeglass treatment that protects eyes from light damage, reverses recent light damage, and increases collagen and reduces wrinkles around the eyes
  • A bandage sold by dermatologists to speed healing and reduce scarring after elective facial surgery
  • An over-the-counter cream or gel to treat hair loss with no side effects or bio-reaction

Every formulation is different and requires specific testing to determine results.
