Light Therapy
Gentle light and warmth, with no needles. We use LED panels, a far-infrared TDP lamp and low-level light (photobiomodulation) for skin and muscle comfort.
How it works
How light therapy works
Different wavelengths of light are absorbed by the skin and tissue below, and are thought to support the cells’ own energy and repair processes.
You rest comfortably while the light or warmth is applied. It is painless, and it can be used on its own or alongside other treatments.
Dr. Kim chooses the wavelength and area to suit your goals, whether skin or muscle and joint comfort.
