FAQs

How long does my LightStim treatment take?

A session on the LightStim LED bed takes 40 minutes. However, we book you in for a 60-minute appointment and recommend that you block an hour of your time. This leaves you with plenty of time to undress, dress, and unwind in peace.

What should I wear for my LightStim session?

For the best results, we recommend that you enjoy your LightStim treatment unclothed. As this might feel exposed, we always provide you with a towel you can use to cover yourself for extra comfort. Naturally, our treatment room is private and lockable, and there is enough space for you to change in comfort.

Will I get hot during my LightStim treatment?

At no point during your treatment will the LightStim bed get uncomfortably hot. The panels warm up to a very mild temperature and you will feel a gentle warmth spreading through your body. As the red light penetrates deep into your skin, the sensation is more one of warming up from the inside rather than laying on a hot surface. Should you ever get too warm, however, the LightStim LED bed has a cooling function.

How quickly will I see results?

Some of the benefits can already be felt after the first treatment. After just one session, you can expect to see brighter skin with a distinct glow, feel less muscle tension and decreased pain, and enjoy a feeling of deep relaxation.

That being said, the benefits of the LightStim LED bed add up with regular sessions. To see a significant improvement in inflammation, high blood pressure, injuries, scarring, wrinkles, and other conditions, a series of treatments is recommended.

How often should I come in for a LightStim treatment?

Light therapy is most potent as a series of treatments. As everyone is unique, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan. Depending on what you are wanting to achieve, we recommend you come for one to three LightStim sessions per week over the course of four weeks. To enjoy the cumulative benefits, sessions should be no more than seven days apart.

Who shouldn’t have LightStim treatments?

Light therapy is non-invasive, non-toxic, and doesn’t have any known side-effects. As far as research shows, it is safe for anyone to use. There are, however, certain circumstances where we recommend you consult your healthcare practitioner before use.

If you are pregnant, being treated for (skin) cancer or have suspicious lesions, have had an organ transplant, suffer from epilepsy, are highly sensitive to light, or are currently taking photosensitive medication please check with your physician prior to booking an appointment.

Is light therapy safe? Has the LightStim LED bed been tested?

Yes, red light therapy is a very safe technology. It is non-invasive, non-toxic, and there are no known side-effects.

The LightStim LED bed has been thoroughly tested and was cleared by the FDA as a treatment to improve muscle and joint pain, arthritic pain and stiffness, wound healing, and blood circulation.

How does it work?

Red light therapy, also known as low level light therapy, uses a process called photobiomodulation to trigger beneficial responses in the cells.

The LightStim bed features over 18,000 LED lights that emit red light of various wavelengths. This light penetrates into the energy centre of your cells, the mitochondria, where it encourages the production of cellular energy. Think of it as supercharging your body’s batteries.

But this is not the only effect it has on our cells: By calming the cells and minimising oxidative stress, red light therapy reduces inflammation. It also boosts the production of collagen, which helps our body to repair and regenerate tissue faster. As the cherry on top, exposure to red light also stimulates the production of serotonin, one of our feel-good hormones.

Do you offer refunds?

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer refunds on unused sessions.

If you are unsure whether this is the right treatment for you, we recommend starting out with a single session. Should you have sensitive skin and be worried about having a negative reaction to the LightStim bed, you are welcome to patch-test this red light treatment by placing your hand under our face panel for 10 minutes.

If you choose to invest in a multi-session package and, for some reason, are unable to use all of your sessions, you are welcome to transfer your remaining sessions to somebody else or sell them on.
