Uniquely uses blue LED light to increase local blood flow
BlueTouch patch contains 40 blue LEDs that create therapeutic light. Blue light delivers warmth and stimulates the body's natural release of NO both leading to an increased blood flow thus improving nutrient and oxygen supply and removing of metabolites, to support the recovery process of the affected muscles in the treatment area.
Additional soothing warmth effect for back pain relief
BlueTouch also produces beneficial warmth that relaxes the muscles for back pain relief and provides the wearer with a sense of well-being.

Short treatment times, three intensity levels
Philips BlueTouch can be used up to twice a day. The length of each treatment depends on the intensity level selected. In Mode 1 (gentle), the device should be used for a maximum of 30 minutes, in Mode 2 (medium) for 20 minutes and in Mode 3 (intense) for 15 minutes per treatment. Intensity levels can be selected to match your own preferences. They differ in terms of light intensity and temperature.

Uses warmth and natural healing effect of blue light
Philips BlueTouch uses the warmth and triggers natural healing processes with blue light to relieve back pain without drugs.
Drug-free treatment
The major benefit of therapy with blue LED light lies in its natural character. The blue light stimulates the body’s own processes. When blue LED light hits the human skin, the body’s own supplies of nitric oxide (NO) molecules are released and transported to the muscle causing back pain. This small molecule has a great effect: The back pain is relieved naturally.
