Light Therapy (LED)

Phototherapy uses specific light frequencies to influence the body.

Light Spectrum 640nm

Red Light Therapy

Red light strengthens the mitochondria, the part of the cell that creates energy. By doing so, this procedure increases energy levels in the cell.

Light Spectrum 415nm

Blue Light Therapy

It is postulated that blue light is useful in treating inflammatory acne, as the blue light affects reactive free radicals that exert bactericidal effects on P. acnes. (ie. kills the bacteria often associated with acne.)

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

acne
scars
age spots and sun damage
fine wrinkles
psoriasis
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.
