The Breastlight is a new product for women. Helping women to notice any changes in their breasts over time.

The Breastlight gives you get a totally new view of your breasts. a hand held torchlight size produce, it shines a harmless red light through your breast tissue so that you can see some of the details inside. You can get to know what’s normal for you and then spot any changes that may occur. helping you to feel more confident that you’re looking after and be more aware of your body the way you’d like to.

how it works

The Breastlight allows you to look at the inside rather than outside the breast. To be effective, it has to be used in a dark room. It works by shining a bright red light through the breast tissue. The light passes through the breast tissue and reveals dark areas where blood is present. It is therefore quite normal to see a pattern of veins but, if there is a dark cluster, this is a potential abnormality that should be checked out

Here you can see veins and the nipple

Breastlight can be used by women of all ages, particularly menopausal or post-menopausal women when the density of the breast tissue has changed. It is also useful for women with fibrous breasts that always feel lumpy. The Breastlight will distinguish between normal breast tissue and areas where blood vessels are present that could indicate a potential abnormality.  The Breastlight also works through breast implants.

Technical Explanation

Breastlight is designed to give the maximum light transmission through the breast tissue. Even so, only a small fraction of the light will pass through completely – and this is what you will see when you use the product. That’s why it’s important to use Breastlight in a very dark room.

We use red light to give the best contrast and enable you to see the maximum detail. The light is completely harmless and has no invisible rays. You can use Breastlight as often as you like with no side effects.

When the light hits a blood vessel in your breast it is absorbed by haemoglobin. This makes the veins in your breast appear as dark lines.

Malignant lumps have an increased blood supply to feed them so any dense areas may indicate an abnormality. Fluid filled cysts, however, will not absorb the light.
