Red Light Therapy
Professional treatment planning begins with an individual skin assessment, a discussion of suitability and clear expectations.
Light-Led Wellness
A calm, non-invasive treatment using carefully selected wavelengths of light.
Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, exposes the skin to controlled red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths are used to support normal cellular activity without ultraviolet radiation, needles or heat-based tissue injury.
At MC Aesthetics, the treatment is offered as a considered addition to a broader skin, recovery or wellness plan. Suitability and expectations are discussed individually because outcomes vary and the treatment is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or care.
Approach
Non-invasive light therapy
Sensation
Gentle and comfortable
Planning
Individual consultation
Supportive, Not Curative
A complementary part of thoughtful care.
Red Light Therapy may be selected to support skin quality, post-treatment recovery or general wellbeing. It does not diagnose, cure or replace treatment for a medical condition, and no specific result can be guaranteed.
Your Treatment Journey
Quiet, considered and tailored to your wider treatment plan.
The selected treatment area, exposure and recommended course depend on your goals, health history and any other treatments you are receiving.
02
Preparation
The treatment area is prepared as required and protective eyewear is provided when indicated for the equipment and treatment position.
03
Light exposure
You rest comfortably while the selected area receives controlled red or near-infrared light for the planned treatment time.
04
Review
Your comfort and response are reviewed, with future sessions adjusted to complement your individual care journey.
Screening & Safety
Even gentle light treatment begins with appropriate screening.
The treatment does not use ultraviolet light, but light sensitivity, medicines and certain health conditions can affect suitability. Always disclose changes before a session.
- 01
Disclose health conditions
Tell us about pregnancy, epilepsy or light-triggered seizures, eye conditions, active cancer care, autoimmune or photosensitivity disorders, unexplained lesions and recent surgery or procedures.
- 02
Review medicines and products
Some medicines, supplements and topical products increase sensitivity to light. Provide a current list and do not stop prescribed medication without advice from its prescriber.
- 03
Protect and monitor
Follow positioning and eye-protection instructions. Report excessive warmth, discomfort, headache, visual disturbance, dizziness or an unexpected skin reaction immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
What to know about Red Light Therapy.
Your consultation remains the best place to discuss suitability and realistic expectations.
What is Red Light Therapy?
It is a non-invasive treatment using controlled red and near-infrared wavelengths to support normal cellular processes. It is also called photobiomodulation.
Does it use ultraviolet light?
No. Red and near-infrared light are different from ultraviolet radiation and do not tan the skin.
What does a session feel like?
Most people experience a calm, comfortable session and may notice gentle warmth. Tell the practitioner immediately if you feel uncomfortable.
Is there downtime?
Standalone Red Light Therapy generally requires no downtime. Instructions may differ when it forms part of another procedure or recovery plan.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no universal course. The recommendation depends on your goal, response, equipment protocol and any treatments it is intended to complement.
Who may not be suitable?
People with photosensitivity, light-triggered seizures, certain eye or health conditions, or those using photosensitising medicines may require medical clearance or an alternative approach.
