WHAT IS THIS TREATMENT

Light That Works at the Cellular Level

Red light therapy at 635 nm penetrates the skin to reach your cells' mitochondria — the powerhouses responsible for producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency your body relies on for every metabolic process.

By energising mitochondrial function, this treatment helps increase ATP production, supporting your body's ability to convert nutrients into usable energy more efficiently. The result is improved metabolic activity that extends well beyond each session.

Clients seeking better energy levels, hormonal balance, and faster recovery from physical exertion consistently report meaningful improvements after a course of treatments. It is a safe, non-invasive approach grounded in peer-reviewed science.

THE SCIENCE

How It Works

Red light therapy follows a clear biological pathway — from light absorption at the cellular level through to whole-body metabolic benefits.

01

Light Energises Mitochondria

635 nm red light is absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase within the mitochondria, stimulating cellular respiration and unlocking the cell's energy-producing potential.

02

ATP Production Increases

With mitochondria performing at a higher level, your cells produce more ATP — the fundamental energy molecule that powers every metabolic function in your body.

03

Metabolic Function Enhances

Greater cellular energy translates to more efficient metabolic processes, including improved nutrient utilisation, beta-oxidation of fatty acids, and enhanced tissue repair.

04

Hormonal Balance & Recovery

As cellular energy improves, your body is better equipped to regulate hormonal pathways, reduce inflammation, and recover from physical and metabolic stress.

KEY BENEFITS

What You Can Expect

Our metabolic health and recovery protocol delivers measurable, science-backed outcomes across multiple dimensions of wellness.

Boosted Metabolism

Enhanced mitochondrial function drives more efficient energy production, supporting your body's natural ability to metabolise nutrients and maintain a healthy metabolic rate.

Increased Energy Levels

Greater ATP production means more available energy at the cellular level, helping to reduce fatigue and improve your capacity for daily activity and physical performance.

Hormonal Balance Support

By improving cellular energy and reducing oxidative stress, red light therapy supports the endocrine system's ability to regulate hormonal pathways naturally.

Faster Recovery

Accelerated tissue repair and reduced inflammation help your body recover more effectively from exercise, physical exertion, and the demands of everyday life.

Improved Sleep Quality

Better metabolic regulation and reduced systemic stress contribute to improved sleep patterns, helping you achieve deeper, more restorative rest each night.

Enhanced Overall Vitality

When your cells are producing energy efficiently and your systems are in balance, the outcome is a noticeable improvement in how you feel, move, and perform each day.

INCLUDED WITH EVERY SESSION

Enhanced With Vibration Plate

Every metabolic health session includes time on our whole-body vibration plate, amplifying your results through increased circulation and muscular activation.

Pre-Session Activation

Five minutes on the vibration plate before your light therapy session boosts blood flow, stimulates muscle fibres, and primes your metabolism — so your body responds more effectively to the treatment that follows.

Amplified Metabolic Response

The combination of whole-body vibration and 635 nm red light delivers up to 400% greater metabolic activation compared to light therapy alone, helping you achieve results faster.

Improved Cellular Absorption

By increasing circulation throughout the body, the vibration plate ensures that more of your cells are oxygenated and ready to absorb light energy during your session.

Post-Session Recovery Support

A second round on the vibration plate after your treatment supports your body's metabolic processes, assisting with recovery and helping to extend the benefits of each session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this weight-loss or fat-loss?

Primarily fat-loss. We shrink fat-cell volume and smooth skin; the scale may change modestly.

How does red light therapy help reduce fat?

Red light therapy stimulate fat cells to temporarily release their stored contents (like triglycerides), which are then flushed through the lymphatic system. This process helps shrink fat cells, reduce inches, and smooth contour—naturally.

Can red light therapy really help with cellulite?

Yes. By increasing circulation, collagen production, and lymphatic flow, light therapy improves skin texture and tightness. This helps reduce the appearance of cellulite and improves the overall firmness of the treated area.

Should I combine this with exercise or diet programs?

Absolutely—moving and eating clean accelerates fat clearance and collagen synthesis.

How many sessions before I see results?

Many clients begin noticing inch loss and smoother skin after 4–6 sessions. A full course of 8–12 sessions typically delivers the best, most long-lasting results.

Will the results last and does the fat return?

Emptied cells can refill if calorie intake exceeds burn. Results may last when combined with healthy habits like hydration, light movement, and balanced eating. Maintenance sessions every few months can help keep results consistent.

Is there any downtime or discomfort?

None at all. Sessions are completely non-invasive, gentle, and relaxing. You’ll feel a soft warmth, and most clients describe the experience as calming and restorative.

How does this differ from CoolSculpting or liposuction?

No freezing, no suction, no trauma. Light gently empties fat cells and tightens skin without killing tissue or requiring recovery time.

Is this safe and are there any side effects?

Red light therapy has been used safely for decades. It doesn’t use UV rays and has no known serious side effects. some may experience mild warmth or temporary redness. We screen for contraindications during your consultation.

Who shouldn't use red light therapy? Are there any risks?

Red light therapy is very safe for most people, but there are a few exceptions. You should avoid or speak with your doctor first if you:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding

NLT™ Therapy might cause a reaction with some tattoo inks. If you have tattoos in the treatment area, monitor

the response and consult with a healthcare provider if concerned.

Have a history of or active cancer or tumors

If there's an active bleed or a tendency to bleed (like in hemophiliacs), NLT™ therapy might not be recommended.

Take medications that cause light sensitivity / photosensitivity (like some antibiotics or acne meds)

If you've recently undergone radiation therapy, consult with your healthcare provider before starting NLT™ Therapy.

Have a severe eye condition and are not using proper protection

If you have an active skin rash, sunburn, or infections.

Have had recent organ transplants or photo-sensitive autoimmune diseases

Can it treat multiple areas in one visit?

Yes—abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms can be treated sequentially within the same appointment block.

What’s the purpose of the vibration plate?

The Metabolic Activation Vibration Plate enhances lymphatic drainage and encourages faster fat metabolism. It’s a critical part of helping your body eliminate the released fat and boost your results.

Do I have to undress?

You can keep undergarments or loose clothing on—just expose the area you want to treat for best results.

Do I need to do anything afterward?

Just drink water, avoid fatty or processed foods and go about your day! There’s no recovery time needed.

What makes this better than home red light devices?

MedWave™ uses more powerful, focused light that reaches deeper into the body. You get better results, faster.
