They work synergistically to target different aspects of body contouring. Infrared raises your core temperature to burn calories and detoxify. Pressotherapy stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce water retention and flush out toxins released by fat cells. EMS builds and tones underlying muscle tissue for a firmer appearance. Finally, Bioptron Light Therapy aids in skin recovery, reduces any inflammation, and improves skin elasticity, ensuring the skin looks smooth as the body contours change.
Pressotherapy feels like a deep, rhythmic massage. You wear specialized boots and a belt that inflate and deflate in waves. This action applies gentle, controlled pressure to your limbs and abdomen, manually stimulating your lymphatic system. This helps your body naturally drain excess fluids, toxins, and metabolic waste, which significantly reduces the appearance of cellulite and decreases swelling (edema).
While it is excellent for slimming and reducing the appearance of cellulite, it also offers significant health benefits. It is highly effective for improving circulation, reducing fluid retention (especially for those who stand or sit all day), relieving heavy legs and restless legs, and can even aid in post-surgical recovery by reducing swelling and bruising.
EMS is an excellent complement to your existing workout routine. It works by causing supramaximal muscle contractions that are difficult to achieve through voluntary exercise alone. This activates deeper muscle fibers, leading to increased muscle strengthening and toning. It can help break through plateaus, improve core stability, and enhance the results you see from your regular workouts.
It should not hurt. You will feel a series of pulsing or tapping sensations as the electrical impulses stimulate your muscles. The intensity is completely adjustable to your comfort level. You should feel your muscles contracting and relaxing rhythmically—it feels like your muscles are doing an intense, involuntary workout. A mild muscle soreness the next day is normal, similar to the feeling after a good gym session.
A typical EMS body session is very time-efficient, usually lasting only 20 to 30 minutes. This is because the intensity of the muscle contractions is so high that it achieves the equivalent of several hours of conventional training in a short time. For optimal results, we usually recommend a package of sessions close together (e.g., twice a week) followed by maintenance sessions.
The main difference is how they heat your body. A traditional sauna heats the air around you to a very high temperature, which then warms your skin. Infrared saunas use infrared light to directly warm your body from the inside out without heating the air as much. This allows for a deeper, more detoxifying sweat at a lower, more comfortable air temperature. It's also more effective at increasing core body temperature to boost metabolism and circulation.
Absolutely. While it supports slimming goals by increasing heart rate and calorie burn, Infrared therapy is renowned for its other wellness benefits. Clients often use it for deep relaxation and stress relief, muscle recovery after exercise, pain relief for joints and muscles, improved sleep, and skin purification (resulting in a clearer complexion).
Bioptron therapy uses a specific polarized light, similar to the part of the sun's spectrum that is beneficial, to stimulate your body’s own biological processes. In the context of slimming, it is used post-treatment to accelerate healing and optimize results. It helps reduce any inflammation caused by deep tissue work, boosts collagen production to improve skin elasticity (so skin tightens as fat reduces), and helps smooth the appearance of cellulite.
While it is a fantastic addition after treatments like Pressotherapy and EMS to enhance results, Bioptron is also a powerful stand-alone therapy. It can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions (like acne, eczema, and wounds), alleviate pain, and treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Its skin rejuvenation properties also make it a popular choice for facials.
Yes, absolutely. Bioptron Light Therapy has been shown to be highly effective for managing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) . The light emitted mimics the beneficial part of the sun's spectrum without the harmful UV rays. Regular exposure can help regulate your body's internal clock and boost mood by influencing the production of serotonin, making it a excellent non-drug option for combating the winter blues.
It can be a very effective complementary therapy for a range of dermatological issues. Bioptron's polarized light works as a photo-biostimulator, meaning it energizes cells to promote healing and reduce inflammation . It has been clinically proven to help manage acne by targeting bacteria, soothe the inflammation of eczema and psoriasis, and even help with rosacea and cold sores (herpes simplex)
Wound healing and scar management are actually two of the most clinically tested and certified uses for Bioptron therapy . The light energy penetrates deep into the tissue to stimulate cellular repair, improve local blood circulation, and accelerate the healing process . It can be used on post-surgical incisions, burns, venous leg ulcers, and pressure sores, and it also helps to improve the appearance and pliability of existing scars
Bioptron therapy is an excellent tool for pain management . It works by reducing inflammation at the cellular level and improving blood flow to the affected area, which are two primary causes of pain. It is clinically proven to help with a wide variety of musculoskeletal issues, including low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, arthritis (both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid), carpal tunnel syndrome, and sports injuries like sprains and tendonitis
Bioptron is considered a very safe, non-invasive therapy and does not contain any UV rays, making it safe for use on the face, for children, and even during pregnancy . However, as with any therapy, there are some contraindications. It is not advisable for individuals with active cancer, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), epilepsy, acute thrombosis, or photosensitivity disorders. It should also not be used over the eyes or by anyone taking photosensitizing medications . A full consultation will always be conducted to ensure it's right for you.
