Laser acupuncture uses low-level laser light to stimulate acupuncture points without penetrating the skin, making it completely painless and an excellent option for patients who are sensitive to needles, children, or conditions where needle insertion is not appropriate.
At Rozelle Acupuncture, we use professional-grade cold laser equipment that delivers precise, therapeutic wavelengths to acupuncture points, aiming to produce similar physiological effects to needle acupuncture, stimulating qi flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.
Laser acupuncture is particularly suited to: children and infants, patients with needle phobia, sensitive or delicate treatment areas such as the face, post-surgical sites or wounds, and patients who find traditional acupuncture too stimulating.
The treatment is comfortable and relaxing, with each session typically lasting 20–30 minutes. It can be used as a standalone treatment or combined with traditional needle acupuncture where appropriate.
Celluma LED light therapy. Alongside point-specific laser, the clinic also uses a Celluma LED panel, a TGA-listed light therapy device that delivers red, blue and near-infrared light across a broader area such as the face, a joint or the lower back. This form of light therapy is known as photobiomodulation. It is painless, there is nothing to feel beyond gentle warmth, and a session runs around 20–30 minutes on its own or alongside acupuncture.
What the research says. Photobiomodulation has been studied for several decades, most extensively for skin, wound healing and musculoskeletal pain, and the device manufacturer maintains a library of the published clinical work. The quality of that evidence varies: some findings come from small trials and effect sizes differ between conditions. We are happy to talk through what the research does and does not support for your situation before it is added to a plan. Ask about it at your consultation.
