Frequently asked questions
Short answers about red light therapy, the vibration plate, and booking a session in Roodepoort.
About the treatment
What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation (PBM), shines specific wavelengths of light onto the skin. Research suggests the light is absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells, which may help them produce energy more efficiently. It does not use UV light and does not tan or burn the skin.
What does the vibration plate do?
You stand on the HyperVibe plate while it vibrates. The vibration makes your muscles contract and relax many times a second, which gets your circulation going. MedWave pairs it with red light because better circulation helps deliver blood and oxygen to the area being treated.
What does it feel like?
The red light feels gently warm. The plate feels like a fast, steady buzz through your legs and body. Most people find the session relaxing. Tell us straight away if anything feels uncomfortable.
How long is a session?
Every session is 40 minutes and combines the red light panel and the vibration plate. Plan a few extra minutes for your first visit, when we go through a short health questionnaire.
Is it right for me?
Is it suitable for everyone?
Most healthy adults can use it. Please check with your doctor first if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or other electronic implant, epilepsy, a recent blood clot, cancer, or recent surgery, or if you take medication that makes you sensitive to light. We go through a short health questionnaire with everyone before their first session.
Is Luma Revive only for women?
No. Our clients include athletes, people with long-term aches and pains, and anyone who wants to feel more energetic. Men and women of all ages are welcome.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you want to achieve. Some people notice a difference after a few sessions, others need a regular block of sessions. After your first visit we will suggest a realistic plan, and you can buy a package to bring the price per session down.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. When you book, we will tell you if the area you want to focus on should be uncovered during the light part of the session.
