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 original BioPhoton 100 and the latest Firefly products and expanding the business globally.

Martin’s vision is to bring Photobiomodulation (PBM) light therapy to the masses via a powerful, effective, and affordable product line. With the Glow, Wellness, and Clinic Pro Firefly models, Martin has begun this journey. At a time when health and wellness are 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 health and wellness issues, from pain and daily functioning deficits, all through safe and reliable Photobiomodulation without toxins.

Firefly light therapy truly is part of the future of medicine.
