The use of the lamp requires personnel, space and a limited amount of time and is therefore not favored in commercially oriented medical environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, if you do not have a source offering this form of therapy nearby, the only option left is to purchase such a lamp on your own initiative, albeit a costly one.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anschaffungs-Kosten\"><\/span>Acquisition cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who is active in therapy will certainly give preference to the clinical variant, regardless of whether it is in the human or veterinary field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The long-suffering private individual, of course of all genders, will be more inclined towards the small version, which is still expensive but at least somewhat cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bioptron\u00ae offers various products that \u2013 today \u2013 of course also indulge the idea of wellness.
