Used in the treatment of various issues, luxotherapy is a painless alternative to acupuncture that has proven effective. Improving sleep, relieving stress, or overcoming compulsive snacking are the goals achieved with this method, which stimulates reflex points using infrared light.
What is luxotherapy ?
Used in anti-ageing medicine or nutrition, luxotherapy or luxopuncture is inspired by traditional acupuncture but without needles ! In fact, this technique influences the body’s balance at the hormonal level. Specific skin areas are targeted by infrared radiation to stimulate them. When the reflex points are activated, luxotherapy also helps restore an organ's harmony. It can thus be practised in various situations: concentration difficulties, burnout, stress, or sleep disorders…
The mechanism is similar to acupuncture, as the laser beam will stimulate areas of the body associated with eating disorders. Subsequently, dietary follow-up will be necessary to stabilise healthy weight with a balanced diet.
Who is it for ?

The mechanism is the same as acupuncture since the laser beam stimulates areas of the body related to eating disorders.

For those wanting to quit smoking… !
Luxotherapy can be a relevant solution for quitting smoking. In fact, it will address physical and psychological dependence while also reducing the chances of relapse. This technique will boost the natural production of endorphins and dopamine in the patient, which is often blocked by nicotine intake. Thus, the restored hormonal production will lessen excess appetite, irritability, or nervousness, which often leads to relapses. In this specific case, a course of five days a week for three months will be advised.
How does a session proceed ?
Before initiating the first stimulations, the doctor will determine the number of necessary sessions based on the patient's issues. Once this step is completed, the practitioner will stimulate around thirty reflex points relating to the hormonal system, the lymphatic system, or the digestive system. A session lasts approximately 30 minutes. Luxotherapy is not suitable for pregnant women or young children unless advised by a physician.
If you were planning to make some good resolutions in January, it might be time to get started !
