A non-hormonal option for peri-menopause and menopause.
Photobiomodulation is a gentle, drug-free adjunct used to support joint pain, pelvic comfort, sleep and energy through the menopausal transition.
The science
Why light helps in menopause
Falling oestrogen levels drive systemic inflammation, joint sensitivity, poorer sleep and changes in circulation and pelvic tissue. Photobiomodulation supports mitochondrial function across the tissues affected, boosting ATP, reducing oxidative stress and calming inflammatory signalling.
Because sessions are non-hormonal, they can sit comfortably alongside HRT or non-HRT approaches to menopause care.
