Rosacea, a complex skin condition marked by facial redness, swelling, and sometimes acne-like bumps, has puzzled many with its fluctuating symptoms and triggers. Understanding its pathophysiology reveals a landscape where vascular reactivity, inflammatory pathways, and environmental factors intersect, leading to the chronic, visible signs many struggle with. Enter the realm of Red Light Therapy (RLT), a groundbreaking approach that complements traditional treatments, targeting rosacea’s multifaceted nature at its core. RLT operates by delivering specific wavelengths of light deep into the skin, without heat or UV exposure, to reduce inflammation, enhance circulation, and promote cellular repair. This process, known as photobiomodulation, directly addresses the inflammatory and vascular components of rosacea, offering relief and improving skin appearance. Redjuvenate Medical’s NovoThor treatment, now available at Clinicity in London, harnesses the power of RLT in a whole-body approach. It’s not just an innovative method to soothe rosacea symptoms but also a complementary strategy enhancing the efficacy of conventional treatments. By improving cellular health and reducing oxidative stress, NovoThor supports the skin’s resilience against common triggers like sunlight, stress, and extreme temperatures. Integrating NovoThor into your rosacea care routine can bridge the gap between managing symptoms and achieving lasting improvements. It’s an invitation to explore a holistic path to skin health, one that harmonizes with your existing treatment plan for optimal results. Join us at Redjuvenate Medical to experience the transformative potential of NovoThor for rosacea and beyond. Your journey towards balanced, healthier skin begins with us. Embrace the future of rosacea care today. Share this breakthrough with those on their path to clearer, calmer skin .

In the quest for accelerated healing and recovery, Redjuvenate Medical’s NovoThor treatment stands out, offering a revolutionary approach to post-operative care. Nestled in the heart of London, CliniCity’s NovoThor whole-body red light therapy harnesses the power of specific light wavelengths to invigorate and speed up the body’s natural healing processes. But how does it work? The science behind NovoThor’s effectiveness lies in its ability to stimulate cellular energy production. When red and near-infrared light penetrate the skin, they reach the mitochondria, the powerhouse of our cells. Here, they boost the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell. This surge in ATP enhances cellular metabolism, encouraging faster repair and regeneration of tissues damaged during surgery. Moreover, red light therapy reduces inflammation, a common post-operative challenge that can prolong recovery. By decreasing inflammatory markers and increasing circulation, NovoThor therapy ensures a more comfortable and quicker healing journey. Clinical evidence supports these claims; studies have shown that patients undergoing red light therapy experience less pain and swelling, contributing to an expedited return to daily activities. But the benefits of NovoThor extend beyond the immediate post-operative period. Regular sessions can improve skin health, reduce signs of aging, and even enhance muscle recovery after intense physical activity. It’s a holistic approach to wellness that complements traditional medical treatments. Discover the transformative power of NovoThor at CliniCity in London, and embark on a smoother, faster recovery path. Whether you’re navigating post-operative healing or seeking a boost in overall well-being, NovoThor offers a scientifically backed, non-invasive solution. Remember, the light at the end of the recovery tunnel shines brighter than ever with NovoThor.

In the realm of eye health, a groundbreaking approach is gaining attention for its potential in combating age-related eye concerns. Red light therapy, a non-invasive treatment, is emerging as a beacon of hope, particularly in the fight against age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – a leading cause of vision loss as we age. At the forefront of this innovative therapy is Redjuvenate Medical’s NovoThor treatment, available at Clinicity in London. This whole-body red light therapy is not just a ray of hope for eye health, but a holistic wellness treatment with an array of therapeutic benefits.

Feeling tired has become so common amongst patients that the medical sector has developed our own acronym for it: TATT - tired all the time. A YouGov survey found that an incredible 25% of people feel tired all the time. In addition, 44% of people find themselves to be weary around ‘half of the time’. So if you find yourself feeling tired and exhausted all the time, you are not alone. Why are we all so tired? Some of the reasons we are all tired are obvious. As a society, we stay up late on too many nights, most of us work long hours, and some of us have young children who need us throughout the night. A new reason for our tiredness has emerged: long covid. Fatigue is the most common symptom of long covid. As long covid has become more widely recognised within the NHS, more research is being conducted into the symptoms and ways to treat them. Most people make a full recovery from long-covid in around 12 weeks, but coping with fatigue during this time can be challenging. Patients I have worked with have felt forced to leave their jobs, unable to make it through the day while feeling so tired. Others just simply aren’t performing the way they would want to. Why does Covid cause fatigue? Covid is a viral illness. Viral infections impact the mitochondria and manipulate them in a way that can lead to cell death. With the mitochondria being such an essential tool in generating our body’s energy, any virus that interferes with its function can cause fatigue and lethargy. Covid is no different to any other viral infection in that it impacts your mitochondria and your energy. Unfortunately, conventional medicine doesn’t have much to offer patients suffering from tiredness. If you are suffering badly, you may be referred for a basic assessment or cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). With the NHS so stretched, you can expect to wait for quite some time before receiving these services you desperately need, just to stop feeling tired. What can I do? Before seeking treatment, there are several things you can do to try to optimise your recovery time overnight and reduce the fatigue you experience throughout the day. Optimise your sleep It seems obvious, I’m feeling tired so I should sleep more. But the time you spend in bed doesn’t necessarily equate to better sleep. We should be aiming for higher quality sleep. An essential step to optimising your sleep is timing. You should be aiming to sleep ideally by 10.00 pm. An old saying is that every hour of sleep before midnight is worth two after, and research shows this is true. A study by Exeter University showed that people who fell asleep between 10.00 pm and 10.59 pm have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. When we sleep late, we experience increased inflammation problems and other issues that can affect body function and cause fatigue. It isn’t always possible to sleep at 10.00 pm, and your work schedule might make that impossible. The best alternative is to keep a one hour window in which you fall asleep. This regular sleep pattern helps to improve the health of your sleep and can reduce your overall fatigue. Optimise your nutrition Nutrition is often overlooked when it comes to sleep health, but a balanced diet doesn’t just affect how you perform during the day. Research is beginning to show a link between our nutrition and the quality of our sleep. Diets high in carbohydrates have been shown to increase the restlessness of your sleep and reduce the amount of time you spend in a deep sleep cycle. If you haven’t already, you should look to optimise your nutrition. Plenty of fruit and leafy vegetables will help you get the right balance of vitamins and nutrients you require. You should also try to avoid eating late at night and keep in mind that caffeine and spicy foods can make it harder to get to sleep. Understand your activity Unfortunately, when we are fatigued, we are less capable. It is vital to take note of all of our activities and create an altered lifestyle plan to ensure we are not pushing ourselves into further fatigue. I recommend keeping a journal of your daily activities, separating essential activities and what you can remove or reduce. Keep notes of how fatigued you feel and what changes based on what you add or remove from your activities. As your body starts to recover, you can gradually increase your strain, take longer runs, and have extra gym sessions. Reduce your stress Stress and sleep are two highly linked functions. When we are stressed, our sleep can be negatively impacted. When we don’t sleep enough, we tend to be affected more by stress. It is a vicious cycle. If you are fatigued, it is important to recognise that you need to change the daily stress you put yourself under. Try to reduce your stress where you can. Take on less at work until you feel recovered, try and scale back on any projects that will put you under more pressure. Once you have recovered from your fatigue, you will feel more energised and capable of taking on extra challenges. Red Light Therapy and fatigue Red light has a lower frequency than blue light and has been found to have the broadest range of therapeutic benefits. When using a full-body red light treatment machine, your entire skin is exposed to low levels of red and near-infrared light. Isolating this spectrum of light allows you to enjoy the benefits of the natural range of light found in sunlight without the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays, which can be harmful to your skin. There is growing evidence that a full-body red light treatment can play a significant role in helping your body to overcome fatigue. The red and near-infrared light penetrates the skin and targets the cells’ mitochondria. Your mitochondria are the body’s energy powerhouses. They are responsible for converting nutrients into chemical energy that fuels all of your bodily activity. Stimulating these powerhouses with red light can play a huge role in giving you the energy you are missing to get over your fatigue.

Too many people don't get good quality, continuous sleep. The pattern of poor sleep can become so regular that people forget that they are fatigued because they no longer remember what it is like to wake up refreshed, full of energy and ready to take on the world.
