  • CANCER – the evidence so far shows
    • There is NO EVIDENCE OF HARM FOR CANCER PATIENTS BEING TREATED WITH PBM THERAPY
    • However, if you are having ACTIVE cancer treatment (Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy) or have cancer but are not in active treatment, the consensus for this medical condition in the PBM Therapy field is that it is best practice for you to get your oncologists permission that they are happy for you to have PBM Therapy*. To make it easier for your consultant to see the evidence for themselves we have created 5 pdf’s for you. Simply download all of the 5 pdf’s below – either print them off or email them to your consultant.
    • PBM therapy is an increasingly accepted treatment for the side effects of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy – Oral Mucositis – which is a severe ulcerating inflammation of the mucous membranes of the mouth (it can also effect the intestines, bowels and vagina) which occurs as a direct consequence of having Chemotherapy/Radiotherapy treatment for active cancer. PBM Therapy (note: in the pdf below PBM Therapy is referred to by its old name ‘LLLT or Low Level Laser Therapy’ – the two names are interchangeable) has NHS approval for oral mucositis.

The cost for this Initial Consultation and LX2 treatment is £80 and the total time needed will be up to one and a half hours.

How Long Does A Normal tPBM Therapy Session Take? (NovoTHOR + LX2)

Normal tPBM sessions will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour including changing times, moving around the clinic etc.

  1. As you are totally enclosed by the NovoTHOR light bed pod and so close to the source of powerful red and near infrared light, treatment times are probably not as long as you would think. Consensus in the research field is that 20 minutes is the ideal time to achieve the maximum physiological benefit. Research has shown that this is the optimum treatment time. This means that less time means you do not get the full benefit. Equally, perhaps contrary to what you would expect, a longer treatment time isn’t actually better as it causes the benefit to reverse. The easiest way to think of PBM Therapy dose/irradiance is either:-
    • Getting a health benefit from being in the sun’s UV light and making vitamin D. Too little sun and you do not make any Vitamin D, too much sun is harmful and you burn with negative health effects. There is a ‘Goldilocks point’ of being just right which for NovoTHOR® PBM Therapy is 15 minutes
    • Alternatively think of any medication either from a doctor or pharmacist there is always a recommendation of dose based on science e.g. a tablet twice in 24 hrs or 2 lots of 5 ml of cough syrup per 24 hrs. This is optimal, less does not help but more is not better either and can actually be bad for you
  2. LX2 tPBM Therapy takes about 10-15 minutes

 tPBM Therapy Fees For Dual NovoTHOR and LX2 Treatments

  • Pay as you go for each combined session (PAYG)
  • The most popular option is to book a block of sessions (three discount offers) which can save you up to 30% on each combined treatment session.  At your initial consultation your clinician will be able to advise what the scientific evidence suggests in terms of how long it is likely to take for you to see an improvement.  This will help you decide which package could be most appropriate for you

Terms and conditions- please read

  1. A 50% deposit may be taken at the time of booking of your initial consultation and first LX2 tPBM Therapy session.  This will be deducted from your initial consultation fee after your first sessions
  2. Deposits are non refundable if you cancel with less than 24 hrs notice for your initial consultation
  3. All treatment sessions with less than 24 hrs notice of cancellation will incur a 50% cancellation fee.  This will be added to your next treatment for PAYG patients or deducted from your block booking payment.  Sorry no exceptions.  If the cancellation is by email or phone message these are time stamped when they are left.
  4. Late arrivals (depending on availability) it may be possible to re-book you later in the same day.  If there are patients after you who have booked in they will be given priority.  If you are running late then always ring ahead, it may be possible to swap with another patient who is due later than you if they have arrived early.
  5. DNA – did not attend.  This will incur the full fee for patients regardless of whether they are pre-paid or PAYG.
  6. For safety reasons if you wish any of your prepaid treatment credits to be transferred to another person this can only be done if that person has been through their own initial consultation process at our PBM Therapy Clinic.  Just ask our staff.  Everyone needs to have had the initial consultation (£80).
  7. Pre-booked and pre-paid treatment sessions must be used up within 12 months of the first treatment for that block of treatments.  In certain specific circumstances this can be extended.  For example:
  8. In the unlikely event that you want a refund for unused prepaid sessions the amount refunded will be calculated based on the program you purchased together with the number of sessions remaining.
  9. The initial consultation fee which includes your first LX2 session (if appropriate) is non refundable.
  10. By booking in as a new patient you agree to have accepted these terms and conditions
