In light of Breast Cancer awareness month, we would like to introduce one of our breast cancer screening options: The Breast Light
The Breast light device provides you with a unique opportunity to have an inner view of your breasts. The Breast light 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. The device will pick up the normal pattern of your veins but can also detect darker clusters, which could indicate potential abnormalities that require a proper check-up conducted by your doctor.
A Breast light examination is not a replacement for mammograms but rather a device to assist in the early detection of breast abnormalities.
Self-examination is simple and effective for noticing abnormalities in ones breast however the Breast light screening device will distinguish between normal breast tissue and areas where blood vessels are present that could indicate a possible irregularity - designed to give the maximum light transmission through the breast tissue though a small fraction of the light will pass through completely.
The Breast light screening is for women going through a menopausal or postmenopausal phase when the compactness of the breast tissue has changed with this hormonal variation, women with fibrous breasts that always feel lumpy as well as woman of all ages who care for their breast tissue wellness.
Early detection saves lives!
