Photobiomodulation

Awaken your skin’s natural regenerative potential and preserve your vision thanks to the science of infrared LED light.

Imagine a technology capable of “speaking” directly to your cells to revitalize them from within. LED photobiomodulation represents a revolution in anti-aging and preventive medicine: specific wavelengths of red and infrared light stimulate your mitochondria, the true cellular power plants.

This scientific, completely natural and non-invasive approach literally boosts your cells’ energy production (ATP), reduces inflammation, and activates your natural repair mechanisms.

At Dr. Bela’s practice in Geneva, this cutting-edge technology delivers remarkable results both in enhancing your skin and in preserving your visual health.

Aesthetic photobiomodulation

Give your skin the most advanced regenerative care available. LED photobiomodulation acts as a true cellular “energy boost” for visibly younger and more radiant skin.

Unlike surface treatments, photobiomodulation works at the very heart of your cells. Infrared LEDs penetrate deeply to directly stimulate your mitochondria, triggering a cascade of beneficial reactions: cellular energy production, collagen synthesis, DNA repair, and reduction of oxidative stress.

Therapeutic applications:

  • overall rejuvenation: restore vitality and radiance to tired skin. Mitochondrial stimulation naturally restarts collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, and visibly younger skin.
  • post-procedure recovery: dramatically accelerate healing after eyelid surgery, injections, or any aesthetic procedure. Significant reduction of swelling, bruising, and post-operative discomfort.
  • intensive cellular repair: stimulate natural skin renewal to smooth imperfections, reduce scars, and reveal an even, luminous complexion.
  • soothing and restorative action: instantly calm redness, irritation, and inflammation. Ideal for sensitive or reactive skin, or after sun exposure.

10 to 20-minute session

Comfortable installation under an LED lamp, exposure of the treatment area without pain or excessive heat.

No known risks, perfectly safe treatment.

  • preventive anti-aging: preserve your youthful capital
  • post-surgery: optimized recovery in 50% less time
  • problematic skin: deep repair and soothing
  • radiance boost: intensive treatment before an important event

Pregnancy (as a precaution), active skin cancers.

A course of 6 to 10 sessions, 1 to 2 times per week, followed by occasional maintenance sessions.

Depending on protocol and treatment area, starting from 100 CHF

Photobiomodulation and AMD

Faced with age-related macular degeneration, give your eyes the best chance of preserving their function thanks to this revolutionary therapeutic approach.

AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration) affects the central area of the retina responsible for fine vision. This progressive condition can seriously impact your quality of life: difficulty reading, compromised driving, loss of independence.

Retinal cells, particularly rich in mitochondria, are highly sensitive to oxidative stress. Infrared LED photobiomodulation acts as a true “protective shield” by:

  • energizing retinal cells: mitochondrial stimulation for greater resistance
  • reducing macular inflammation: targeted anti-inflammatory action
  • neutralizing oxidative stress: protection against free radicals
  • optimizing retinal function: improved cellular exchanges

Therapeutic applications:

  • early or intermediate AMD
  • family history of AMD
  • risk factors (smoking, UV exposure)
  • desire for active prevention of ocular aging
  • complement to conventional treatments

The earlier you act, the more you maximize your chances of preserving your visual health over the long term.

15 to 20-minute session, performed during consultation

Comfortable installation in front of an adapted LED source, controlled and safe ocular exposure. The treatment is completely painless and non-invasive.

  • functional improvement: many patients report better contrast sensitivity and clearer vision for daily activities.
  • stabilization of acuity: significant slowing of progression in early and intermediate forms of AMD.
  • retinal protection: natural strengthening of cellular defenses against ocular aging.
  • therapeutic synergy: enhanced effect when combined with AREDS2 supplementation, creating an optimal holistic approach.

This is a well-tolerated treatment, with no known side effects when performed within validated protocols.

Active ocular pathologies other than AMD (e.g., progressive neovascularization requiring intravitreal injections), history of recent retinal surgery.

Courses of several sessions (often 9 to 12), spread over a few weeks. Maintenance sessions may be recommended depending on progress.

According to recommended protocol.

Is photobiomodulation really effective?

Absolutely! This technology is supported by thousands of scientific studies demonstrating the effectiveness of infrared LEDs on cellular stimulation. The results are both visible and measurable, in aesthetics as well as in ophthalmology.

Is it painful?

Not at all! Quite the opposite: photobiomodulation is deeply relaxing. You will feel a gentle, soothing warmth while your cells regenerate. Many patients even fall asleep during the session!

Are there any side effects?

No known side effects when the treatment is performed according to validated protocols. It is one of the safest therapies available, using only the natural properties of light.

How long do the results last?

The benefits are cumulative and long-lasting. In aesthetics, improvement lasts 6–12 months with occasional maintenance. For AMD, the protective effect continues depending on individual progression.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

It is even recommended! Photobiomodulation enhances the effectiveness of other treatments: surgery, injections, AREDS2 supplements. It accelerates recovery and optimizes overall results.

From what age can you start?

There is no minimum age. For aesthetic prevention, from 25–30 years old; for retinal protection, from the first signs or family history. The earlier you start, the more you preserve your capital.

Does photobiomodulation replace conventional AMD treatments?

No, it ideally complements them. For advanced AMD requiring injections, photobiomodulation optimizes the retinal environment and can improve treatment response.
