LIGHT THERAPY
This is the emergence of a new era where more can be achieved in non-invasive ways.
Light is another yet safe way to treat ailments, such as skin complaints, pain and inflammation. The light therapy device used at the clinic is a TGA* approved panel consisting of 345 light emitting diodes (LED), that have been calibrated to produce only certain wavelength and frequency of light, based on NASA space program research and a large number of clinical studies. |
Did you know that our body has receptors for light?
These receptors react to certain wavelength and light frequency, just like plants produce chlorophyll when exposed to light. The wavelength determines the colour of the light. We all know that melanocytes, the cells in the skin responsible for pigmentation and skin colour, respond to UV light to produce the protective brown pigment melanin. What most people don't know is that other cells and molecules are also capable of absorbing light in the visible and infrared spectrum.
When light shines on our skin in the near infra-red range between 600 and 950 nm, these light rays can penetrate the skin and the subcutaneous tissue at a depth of 30 to 40 mm to promote circulation and cell regeneration via stimulation of little organelles responsible for energy production in the cells called mitochondria. The consequence of this, is reduced inflammation, and accelerated tissue healing.
Blue light has shown to reduce the number of Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria causing acne, and numerous clinical studies demonstrate this amazing effect of blue light.
Red light stimulates fibroblasts, the cells present in the skin responsible for collagen production, in order to reduce the effect of ageing**. According to your needs, the light setting can be adjusted to blue, red or near infra-red dominance.
Why don't you come to the clinic and try for yourself?
You can book online up to three sessions. We recommend two to three sessions a week for best results. These can be achieved just after two weeks.
