Red light therapy overview
Our integrated wellness centre offers a holistic approach to health and healing, combining the best of modern and traditional therapies. We specialise in red light therapy (photobiomodulation) to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation, alongside acupuncture and personalised herbal medicine.
Unlike many clinics, we only use the best in photonic, medical-grade equipment. Our supplier, SunpowerLED™, is one of the top manufacturers of photonic treatment equipment in the world.
What does PBM stand for?
Photo Bio Modulation — using photons on biological material to modulate, or encourage, positive change. We use PBM to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation and much more.
The benefits
Through red light therapy, clients experience enhanced cellular repair, reduced inflammation and faster recovery from most injuries.
Description of treatment
A light source is placed near or in contact with the skin, allowing light energy (photons) to penetrate tissue, where it interacts with chromophores in cells. This creates photophysical and photochemical changes at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels. Light triggers a chain of physiological reactions in damaged tissue that can accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration, increase circulation, reduce acute inflammation, reduce acute and chronic pain and help restore normal cellular function. Recent research indicates that light can also enhance performance in healthy tissues and cells.
