Enlightenment From Inside Out: Light Therapy

Holism, which is among the most fundamental principles of the Wellbeing philosophy, is one of the most significant elements to support a state of absolute peace and “well-being” by seeking the harmony of body, soul and mind.

Derived from this holistic principle of Wellbeing, light therapy has been appearing on the menus of spa centers in the recent years either as a main or a complementary therapy, thanks to its healing qualities. Low-level red and infrared light therapy, as an intelligent, non-invasive technology that operates in harmony with the body's natural growth, healing, repair and defense mechanisms, has been capturing many hearts not only with its ease of use, but also its nature as a compatible, safe and effective therapy for everyone.

Light therapy which energizes the subcutaneous tissue for a healthier skin, when combined with antioxidant-rich ingredients used during facial and body treatments at spa centers, generates considerably effective and noticeable results. Light therapy, by inducing blood circulation which enables transport of more oxygen and nutrients to the cells, creates the suitable environment for tissue repair and skin regeneration, thus qualifies as the key step towards a beautiful, young and healthy skin.

Due to its circulatory stimulating characteristics, light therapy, in addition to nursing to a healthy skin, further plays a major role in overcoming other health troubles such as circulatory disorders and cognitive disorders, and therefore offers enlightenment and relief for the body, the mind and the soul, all at once. Light therapy, which increases cellular energy by charging the subdermal skin, and which allows clearing the internal and external inflammations arisen from various reasons and accordingly plays an essential part in reduction of bodily pain by means of triggering the release of opioids and neurotransmitters associated with pain relief, is also acknowledged for its calming properties. Providing a perfect opportunity for meditation with its atmosphere created through its soft and warm light to both calm the mind and soul and attract positive vibes and with its process letting you enjoy “doing absolutely nothing” during the therapy, light therapy delivers ideal results for the optimum mind-body-soul balance that we would desire to experience in a spa center.

The “Triple Effect Detox Therapy MLX I3 Dome” taking place in the spa menu of Four Seasons Hotel at the Bosphorus, combines infrared technology with plasma and light to create a triple-effect detox. By benefiting from this therapy which creates heat using light through solar powered far-infrared waves, you can both strengthen your immune system and get rid of your extra weight with the accelerated fat burning, and thus enjoy your summer in a more fit and energetic body.
