What is the CoroNase?

The CoroNase is a light device which sits comfortably in your nostrils and shines light up your nose and through the open space of your sinuses and through the thin layer of tissue at the underside of the brain. The CoroNase has the same wavelengths as the Duo Coronet and it pulses in synchrony with the rest of the Duo Coronet’s lights. It uses the same high output 670nm and 810nm power LEDs as the Coronet, with the addition of collimating lenses and light pipes to concentrate the light into a focused beam that delivers the maximum amount of light to the target area.

The CoroNase body and cable are moulded in medical grade silicone rubber and the light pipes are made from high-impact polycarbonate.

Back in stock! We now have stocks of the completely redesigned CoroNase Mark III.
The new model is much more comfortable to insert and to wear and the user is able to breathe much more freely than before. The focused 670nm and 810nm light beams reach even further than the previous model.

What will it add to the Duo’s effectiveness?

The value of adding the CoroNase to your daily light mix is three-fold:

  1. Light shining up the nose will reach the underside of the brain, increasing the overall light coverage. Studies of light penetration show that the greater the overall light coverage, the deeper red and near infrared light goes into the brain, directly simulating more brain cells.

  2. Some direct light reaches the cells in the basal ganglia, a problematic area for many neurodegenerative diseases. This would then stimulate any remaining dopamine-producing cells to function better and over time, to replicate and regenerate.

  3. The current theory is that light over all the head combined with light under or in the brain will have the best effect. Here’s a link to information about a recent journal article looking at the evidence for intracranial (an implant of a 670nm light device close to the problem area in the basal ganglia) and extra- or transcranial lights. (Conflict of interest statement - I’m a co-author). The evidence is that both help most when applied together, and that just shining lights on the basal ganglia isn’t enough because there has been so much subsequent damage in other parts of the brain.[https://redlightsonthebrain.blog/2021/10/22/transcranial-lights-are-the-way-to-go/]


Is the CoroNase compatible with all Duo Coronet models?

Unfortunately not. The later models (Coronet 5 and later) have the correct connector for the CoroNase, but the earlier models don’t.


How can I tell if my Duo Coronet has the correct connector?

To check whether your Duo has the correct connector, look for the model number on the inside of the Duo.

If your Duo is marked Coronet 5 or higher, then you have the correct connector (the small black port on the inside rim) and your Duo is compatible. If your Coronet is red on the inside, it should be compatible with the CoroNase.

If your Duo is Coronet 4 or lower, or it doesn’t have a number, then unfortunately you don’t have the correct connector and your Duo is not compatible with the CoroNase. While there might be a small black port on the inside rim, this, alas, does not work with the CoroNase.


If you are not sure whether your Duo Coronet is compatible, and you are interested in considering adding in the CoroNase to your daily regime, you can email me and describe your Duo.


What LED lights are used?

The CoroNase uses inbuilt LED lights in two wavelengths:

  • 670nm – a deep red colour which is very easy to see

  • 810nm – near infrared and just at the edge of our visibility. You can’t easily see the 810nm LEDs when they are on, but you will feel their warmth.

How do the CoroNase’s red and near-infrared lights work?

The CoroNase’s red and near infrared LED lights are able to:

  • penetrate through skin and bone and into underlying tissues, extending to a depth of 50mm (just over 2 inches), and

  • activate the cell by creating a small chemical change in the wall of the cell battery (mitochondrion)

This chemical change results in:

  • increase in the cell’s activity levels – whatever that cell is supposed to do, the cell will now do it better.

  • activation of the cell nucleus, starting the process of making completely new cells.

  • change in the fluid chemistry around the cell, leading to the creation of new branches in the surrounding blood vessels. This ultimately brings more oxygen to the area in pain.
