Where it all began
Scientific experiments conducted by NASA on how to grow plants in space has led to the most significant breakthrough the beauty industry has ever seen.
​
In the 1990s, the U.S. Navy SEALs used LED light therapy to fuel the healing process of wounds and injured muscle tissues.
​
NASA 'LED technology brings relief' – clinical trial November 13, 2003. Researchers found LED has many medical purposes. Cells exposed to infrared light from LEDs grow 150 to 200% faster than cells not stimulated by the light. The light increases energy inside the cells that speed up the healing process.
​
NASA found that the astronauts’ cuts and bruises would not restore due to the lack of gravity, oxygen, and sunlight. In other words, their cells fail to multiply. The LED light therapy steps in to help regenerate cells and repair tissues.
Like most accidental discoveries NASA were not looking for ways to reduce wrinkles & make people look 10 years younger, but they were surprised to discover that the LED lights they were experimenting with to grow plants in space helped astronauts recover faster from injuries sustained during weightlessness.
LED therapy is not new science
In 1903, a Nobel Prize of Medicine was given to scientist Niels Finsen for the use of light therapy- photo therapy.
Numerous studies & years using Red & Infrared light therapy it was found that the tissue was not only healing but superficial cosmetic conditions were improved as well.
​
Based off the abundance of proven data on LED light, the therapy has expanded to many clinics and medical science industries who use the 'power of Light' in a variety of ways.
Just in recent years Blue light therapy has been evaluated and studied. It is a derivative of UV therapy used in the past for Psoriasis, to stimulate the immune system, destroy bacteria, Acne, actinic keratosis (AK), SADs (Seasonal Effect Disorder), treatments for gout, gouty arthritis, bursitis and other inflammatory conditions of muscles and joints.
Forever young
Collagen is the scaffolding of the skin and connects the muscles for facial expression to the overlying skin. As we age, the collagen tends to degenerate and lose its elasticity allowing facial skin to sag and form wrinkle lines.
One of the best ways to slow aging is to stimulate your production of collagen.
...
Collagen is an essential protein used to repair damaged tissue and replace the old tissue. This will erase fine lines and large pores. infrared light rebuilds, skin, cell, muscles and produces superior results. infrared light is converted to cellular energy, stimulating your body’s natural processes.
Calming Red Skin
Reducing rosacea, pigmentation, sunspots, capillaries & uneven red skin tones.
Is your skin often red and hot, or you may have visible red veins?
​
Rosacea, or acne rosacea, is a non-contagious skin inflammation that exclusively affects the face. The small surface blood vessels (capillaries) of the skin enlarge, giving the appearance of a permanent flush.
LED increases collagen production, collagen is our natural healer. LED light works on a deeper level than any other product available, it will promote your skin to heal from the inside out, it will reduce and sooth inflammation, reduce redness and calm sensitive skin.
Acne Be Gone
FDA approved treatment to reduce & prevent acne
The bacteria causing acne is destroyed under high intensity blue light. This light also has a calming action which is effective for hypersensitivity in the skin.
Infrared LED assists the repair of acne and blemishes as it stimulates the skins natural healing.
You will require ongoing treatments, the LED is working on a deep level of the skin and repairing from the inside out. This is why you may not see results instantly, but in time you will be very happy with your results.

LED’s can help by reducing your recovery time through reduction of muscle fatigue and speed up your muscle fiber repair time. So you can be back on the park or back in the gym quicker than ever before.
In the early days of LED it was being used primarily in Eastern Europe for treatment of chronic pain, arthritis and associated conditions, injury, joint rehabilitation, and soft-tissue injury along with other medical ailments.
​
During this same time LED light therapy was being used in a small sector of the United States by equestrian practices for animals with joint and soft tissue.
Since the 1990’s, many professional sports teams and athletes have found that LED therapy can be used to aid in sports related injuries, and physical therapists have noted a recovery time of 50 times faster than without the therapy.
LED light (especially red) has so many benefits that all work together to heal wounds, injuries and pain relief, while Infrared increases lymph system activities, reducing swelling.
Research has confirmed that LED can
speed healing, reduce inflammation & stimulate fibroblast & collagen production by as much as 200% with in just 24 hours of treatment!
Here Comes the Sun
Decrease depression & enhance mood
Doctors and scientist have known for a long time that when its dark and gloomy our bodies create melatonin to slow us down and help us sleep. It depresses our biological function. They have advised people with depression to spend more time in bright environments.
Violet light therapy offers you the bright light needed to decrease depression and enhance mood, without being exposed to damaging UVA and UVB rays from the sun.
Blue light is scientifically proven to assist with reducing depression.
Time and time again it has been noted that LED light promotes calm and relaxation.

Improve sleep
​
According to Mental Health America; blue light helps regulate circadian rhythms, commonly known as the body clock.
Melanopsin, a photoreceptor that plays a key role in regulating circadian rhythms, responds strongly to blue light.
​
As a result, exposure to blue light helps manage sleep disorders.
LumixaÂ
Light is beautiful
Lumixa is the super hero of skin treatments!
It will deliver powerful long term benefits and skin health correction results. Can be used all year round with no down time.
​
Lumixa delivers regeneration, oxygenation, tissue repair, speeds cell renewal and repair on a cellular level, enhanced collagen and elastin to reduce wrinkles and skin aging texture.
We lose 1% of collagen per year since we turned 18 years of age! That math's is scary but fear not book in for a Lumixa treatment to improve the stats today.
​
Rehydrates your skin and reduces dull looking skin…
Feel good, look good,
Lumixa will absolutely help you find your glow!
The future of light therapy is here with Lumixa.
Lumixa is a topical gel developed by FB Dermatology, the makers of Kleresca, that contains a fluorophore with an energy profile that is activated when under (blue) LED light.
The activated Lumixa gel converts blue light into Fluorescent Light Energy (FLE), which stimulates the skin’s own repair mechanisms to heal at the cellular level.
Lumixa acts within the different layers of the skin simultaneously, meaning you can enjoy the benefits of multiple wavelengths of light energy at once on both the epidermal and dermal layers, up to 6mm deep.
Treatments with Lumixa stimulate fibroblasts to increase collagen production, correct ‘Inflammageing’, target the intrinsic signs of ageing and reactivate the skin matrix.
Collagen, together with elastin, is responsible for the texture and elasticity of the skin, with degradation of collagen over time being a major contributor to wrinkles and skin ageing.
*
Key benefits and advantages of Lumixa
The physiological and therapeutic effects of Lumixa have been explored in several tissues and cells with evidence demonstrating that it can positively affect cellular metabolism, increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and modulate reactive oxygen species (ROS).
A change in ROS is known to positively affect transcription factors responsible for growth, inflammation, cellular proliferation and oxygenation, eventually culminating in augmented tissue repair.
Non-destructive
Stimulates the skin’s own regeneration
Reinforces natural defence mechanisms (skin becomes more resistant to damage)
Enhances natural glow
Painless
Anti-redness
