This highly eective, sophisticated unit is a derivative product of the BioFlex
Professional Laser Therapy Systems that have achieved a high level of

System Basics
The BioFlex 120 is a high performance therapy system that is aordable,
cost-eective and easy to use. The ergonomically designed Controller Unit
is connected to a exible Treatment Array in order to deliver a patented
sequence of Red and Infrared light energy to injured or diseased tissue.
Scientically and clinically developed protocols have been pre-
programmed for 12 anatomical regions. Simply select the desired area of
treatment from the face of the Controller Unit to start treatment. Three
Stages of protocols are available for each area. Initiate treatment at Stage
1 for at least the initial ve treatments and increase to higher settings, only
as required.
The Treatment Array’s soft, exible material is easy to clean and readily
adjusts to the contours of the area to which it is applied. For optimal results,
apply the Array to the skin’s surface and if desired, hold in place with straps
provided. Holding the system in place with a hand is also appropriate. Do
not cover the Treatment Array throughout the course of therapy.
Each treatment is initiated by radiation of red light automatically followed
by infrared radiation. The latter is not visible to the human eye. Once the
treatment has been completed, it will be conrmed via a sound.
