Our mission
We combine science and engineering ingenuity to develop unique photobiomodulation devices. Our goal is to improve one’s quality of life by continuously pushing the boundaries through innovation of the delivery of light energy into the brain and inner systems.
We are committed to exploring new theories and research that lead to the development of home-use personal devices that are safe, practical and effective for everyone. To achieve this end, we collaborate with knowledge leaders and major universities world-wide.
Who we are
The technology of Vielight dates back to 1995 in the Silicon Valley – when the founders, Dr. Lew Lim and a group of engineers explored the potential of intranasal photobiomodulation. Intranasal photobiomodulation devices were commercially developed in 2003, which were later trademarked as “Vielight” when the company was incorporated in 2011.
Over the years, our focus shifted towards the development of unique photobiomodulation devices which enhance cognition and performance, among other things.
Today, our team has since evolved into a formidable team of engineers, scientists and business professionals dedicated towards taking the technology to as many people as possible.
Our dedication to research
Attaining our goal of helping people through photobiomodulation would not be possible without the right people. That is why Vielight have gathered many bright minds from a diverse range of scientific backgrounds to continuously improve the efficacy of brain and systemic photobiomodulation technology.
