Treatments include; skin cell regeneration and repair, reducing signs of aging, soothing inflamed and sensitive skin and redness, improving microcirculation and blood flow, providing more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, diminishing acne, accelerating the wound healing process, easing arthritic and muscular fatigue pain, balancing skin tone and joint pain.
Regular sessions can achieve significant improvements over time, but results will vary based on individual skin conditions and usage consistency.
The ’nm’ refers to ‘nanometres’, which is a wavelength of light. The number is the distance between the wavelengths which fall within the red light spectrum, which are not visible to the naked eye. The wave lengths can have effects on cellular function promoting healing. The higher the 'nm' number, the deeper the wave lengths penetrate the skin.
