Yes! RLT stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and improves skin elasticity.

Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-wavelength red and near-infrared light to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance cellular function.

Pressotherapy is considered a safe, non-invasive treatment when carried out by appropriately trained practitioners and after screening for contraindications.

Hundreds of clinical studies have proven light therapy to be safe and effective. However, if you use medications such as Tetracycline, Digoxin, Retin A, and/or other photosensitizing drugs, it's recommended that you consult your healthcare provider before using the Infrared Therapy unit at Urban Wellness Health

Eyewear is optional but not required. The LEDs may appear very bright until your eyes are accustomed to the light. For this reason, we recommend closing your eyes until you find that it’s comfortable to open them. If you have any concerns, we recommend that you consult your trusted healthcare provider. Urban Wellness Hub provide specially manufactured glasses if you want to use them.

Red Light (630-660nm) targets skin-level issues like collagen production and acne. Near-Infrared (810-850nm) penetrates deeper, helping with pain relief and muscle recovery.

While RLT won’t directly burn fat, it boosts metabolism, improves circulation, and enhances muscle recovery, which can indirectly support weight loss efforts.

RLT works by penetrating the skin and stimulating the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell), boosting energy production (ATP) and promoting cell repair and regeneration.

Wax removal in one or both ears is £45. If we find no wax duing the ear assessment, we refund £25 to the bank card you used to pay for the appointment. It sometimes takes 3-5 days for the money to show back in your account.

Eardrops Water-based (bicarbonate) or oil-based (olive oil) eardrops can help soften or disperse earwax. Water-based drops can dissolve earwax, while oil-based ones tend to soften the ear wax so it can be removed. If you have an eardrum hole/perforation avoid oil-based drops. Some water-based drops should be avoided too. Bicarbonate eardrops are not known to be dangerous but may be uncomfortable if you have an eardrum perforation. They may also trigger an infection.

Yes, it reduces inflammation and bacteria, helping to clear acne and promote faster healing.

Before the appointment Prior to your appointment, it is strongly advised to use wax softening drops or olive oil to help soften the wax before removal. Ideally they should be used 7 but up to 10 days beforehand, although a 5 days’ usage is often adequate for some people, because the longer drops are used for, then the more easily and comfortably the wax can be removed during your appointment. We request you use wax softening oil or water based products a minimum of 5 days before your appointment.

Red light therapy (RLT) is generally considered safe for most people, but when it comes to pregnancy, there is limited research available. The main concern with using RLT during pregnancy is the lack of extensive studies on its effects on both the mother and the developing fetus. As a precaution, it's usually recommended to avoid any treatment that could pose unknown risks during pregnancy. That said, because red light therapy typically uses low-level light and doesn’t involve invasive procedures or high-energy lasers, it may carry less risk than more intense treatments. However, if you're pregnant and considering RLT, it's always best to consult with your healthcare professional or GP to ensure it is safe for your specific situation. They can provide personalised advice based on your health and any other factors in your pregnancy.

The human eye can only see wavelengths of light up to 760 nm on average. Infraredi devices use a wavelength of 850 nm for the near-infrared LEDs, making them invisible to the naked human eye.

Infraredi manufactures devices that emit both red and near-infrared light, with peak wavelengths at 630 nm and 660 nm for red light, and 810 nm, 830 nm, and 850 nm for near-infrared light. These wavelengths correspond to frequencies ranging from approximately 353.8 THz to 370.6 THz for red light, and from about 352.4 THz to 375.9 THz for near-infrared light. This range is considered optimal for therapeutic applications, as it penetrates tissues effectively to promote healing and other benefits, as used in hospitals and other health centres around the world.
