Light Therapy (LED)
Phototherapy uses specific light frequencies to influence the body.
Light therapy requires frequent 30 minute sessions. We advise 2-3 times per week for 4-8 weeks to see improvements.
We offer light therapy to help with
-
scars
-
fine wrinkles
-
to encourage wound healing
Our therapy machines are ideal for joints such as knees, ankles, elbows, wrist and hands. They are also ideal for the face.
Integrative Approach
At times it is useful to try one treatment at a time, while at other times, different healing modalities can be complimentary to each other.
Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments (acupuncture/ herbal formula's) will aim to treat the skin by increasing overall health according to imbalances identified in the consult. If you are looking for comprehensive support, consider booking in for a consult for acupuncture or herbal medicine as well as for light therapy. We also have 'Eastern Beauty Facials' that stimulate the skin of the face more intensively.
