Regenerative Medical Grade Light Therapy
Who is Light Therapy for?
Your skin around your eyes is thinner, hence there is a greater impact from ageing and disease. Light Modulation LLLT releases low intensity energy resulting in photo stimulation. It has proven scientific evidence based effects on skin tone enhancement, inflammation reduction, impure skin control and skin renewal. The overall effects are designed to treat a range of elements depending on the wavelength used:
Anti-aging / fine line reduction
Rehydration
Skin brightening
Inflammation reduction
Rosacea management
Acne and clogged pores
The Proven Science Behind Light Therapy
Light is used at specific wavelengths to target different layers of the skin. It provides extra cellular energy and promotes collagen and elastin production in the skin.
Photobiomodulation uses light therapy to promote cellular repair and regeneration. The treatment targets the cells mitochondria by stimulating ATP (energy) production and reducing oxidative stress (from ageing).
Red Light therapy vs LMTM LLLT
LMTM LLLT is an evidence based medical grade device and the energy provision is much higher and far more effective than “at home” Red Light Therapy applications. LMTM LLLT works at biological level generating endogenous heat and stimulating ATP (energy) production in your cells.
