• Anti wrinkles

Blue Light Therapy for Acne
Blue light is a well-established technology for improving and potentially curing types of Acne, and is now starting to be used within the beauty industry as more people are seeking alternative therapies in place of prescription medication. The technology derived from NASA proves that when our skin cells are exposed to Blue light it has a positive effect reducing bacteria.

Photo Dynamic Therapy uses a low level of laser opposed to just a light therapy which only targets the skins surface. Blue diode laser uses 423nm wavelengths to boost the immune system and penetrate through the skins dermal layer and specifically target the Bacteria causing the Acne. The Blue light also promotes cell regeneration and reduces inflammation.

Red Light Therapy for Anti-Ageing
Red Light (Visible) uses a wavelength of 625nm which is absorbed into the skin and turned into heat energy. The heat energy targets elastic development and stimulates new collagen production. The newly produced collagen fibres form together with the increased elastin and in turn gives the dermis its shape back as well as giving the skin its firmness back. The use of visible light increases blood circulation to the skins surface and causes the body to produce new skin cells. Newer skin cells will be far thicker greatly reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles in the epidermis.

Purple Light Therapy for Deep Wrinkles and Immune System
Purple light uses a wavelength of 800- 900nm which is a much longer wavelength that the Blue and Red lights use. This means this light focuses its work much deeper into the dermis,therefore targeting far more advanced skin issues. It works on deep set wrinkles and stimulates the immune system for repair.

Infrared Light Therapy for Optimum Rejuvenation and Repair
This is the most deeply absorbed wavelength so achieves optimum rejuvenation and repair making it great from scars and anti-ageing. Benefits Include:

• Tightens the skin
• Reduces pigmentation
• Advanced anti-ageing
• Improves healing
• Reduces Inflammation

Infrared light helps cells regenerate or repair themselves and improves the circulation of oxygen-rich blood in the body, promoting faster healing of deep tissues and relieving pain.

Infrared light penetrates to the inner layers of the skin at about 2 to 7 centimetres deep reaching the muscles, nerves and even the bones. Infrared Therapy technology allows people to harness the benefits of the sun, without being exposed to harmful ultraviolet rays. It is safe and effective, without adverse side effects.

Infrared light is absorbed by the photo receptors in cells. Once absorbed, the light energy kick starts a series of metabolic events, triggering several natural processes of the body on a cellular level. The increase in the blood flow to the different parts of the body makes it possible for oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells, enabling them to function properly and effectively. Hence this therapy stimulates the regeneration and repair of injured tissues, reducing pain and inflammation.

Infrared Light Therapy is applied on the treatment of various health conditions. Including back pain, arthritis, bursitis, blunt trauma, muscle strain, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, back pain, diabetic nephropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, temporomandibular joint pain (TMJ), tendinitis, wounds, sciatica and surgical incisions.
