Martin Bales, L.Ac. DAOM Doctor of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine and Firefly Therapy Developer Martin grew up working alongside his father, Maurice, at Bales Scientific, Inc., who developed the first digital Infrared camera and the first Photonic Stimulator to be approved by the FDA.

The photo on the right is an infrared image of Martin at age 4 taken with the camera his father developed.

After graduating from the University of Virginia with a degree in Electrical Engineering, Martin pursued another educational path and achieved a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Fusing both backgrounds, Martin formed Bales Photonics, Inc. developing the previous BioPhoton 100 and latest Firefly models which use different wavelengths of light and frequencies providing the information the body needs to heal itself. Our latest custom designed LED chip increases the maximum output power from 8,900 mW to 37,700 mW (resulting in 4x the power!). This allows for much quicker sessions (reduced from 15 mins to 5 mins per area) and greater tissue depth.

Martin’s vision is to bring Photobiomodulation (PBM) light therapy to the masses via the availability of a powerful, effective, and affordable product line. With our Home and Clinic Pro Firefly models, Martin believes he has begun this journey. At a time when health and wellness is elusive for large numbers of the public, the need for effective interventions is ever increasing. Firefly Multi-Spectral Light Therapy can address a multitude of these health and wellness issues and concerns from pain and even daily functioning deficits, all thru safe and reliable Photobiomodulation without toxins. Firefly light therapy truly is part of the future of medicine.
