At Heal U Wellness we combine precise and targeted 635 nm Red Light Therapy with a short vibration‑plate activation to help your body do what it’s designed to do.

Boost Your Results with the Metabolic Activation Vibration Plate
Included with every session
400% increased metabolic activation
35% more effective inch loss
Our Metabolic Activation Vibration Plate is a low-frequency, full-body vibration platform that stimulates rapid, involuntary muscle contractions while you're standing, sitting, or performing gentle movements.
It's the perfect companion to Red Light Therapy, enhancing its effects by boosting blood flow, activating your muscles, and kickstarting your lymphatic system.
Included before or after your light session, this quick but powerful tool helps increase fat metabolism, reduce inflammation, and support detox—amplifying your results.
More results, in less time, for less cost.
Cellulite Reduction
Red light helps boost collagen and tighten skin, while the vibration plate breaks up fibrous tissue and improves circulation. Together, they visibly smooth dimpled areas and enhance tone.
Synergistic Effect
Using the vibration plate primes your body—boosting circulation and waking up muscles—so you respond even better to light therapy. Post-session, it helps your body flush out released fatty acids.
Muscle Stimulation
By activating muscles, the plate increases calorie burn and supports deeper metabolic benefits—especially when paired with Red Light Therapy (our advanced red light therapy).
Lymphatic Drainage
Vibration supports detox by stimulating the lymphatic system—key for clearing fat and inflammation released during light therapy.
Increased Circulation
More blood flow = more healing. The vibration plate boosts circulation, helping your cells absorb the full power of Red Light Therapy.

Here’s What a Typical Session Looks Like
Step 1:
Metabolic Activation Vibration Plate – (5 Minutes)
You’ll begin with a 5-minute session on our vibration plate.
Standing in a slight squat position, the plate generates gentle low-frequency vibrations to help stimulate circulation and activate your lymphatic system, preparing your body for red light therapy.
Feeling warmth in your legs and itching over your body is normal during this process.
It's best to come with loose fit clothing.
Step 2:
Red Light Therapy – Front Side (10 Minutes)
Next, you’ll lie down on the Medwave™ Red Light Therapy bed. This part of your treatment lasts 10 minutes and targets the front of your body.
Use the remote control to lower the panel so it's 10–20cm from your skin.
Put on the provided eye protection, then press the "on" button as soon as you are ready.
The panel will automatically shut off after 10 minutes – so no need to watch the clock! Sessions feel warm and calming—like sunbathing, without the UV rays.
Step 3:
Red Light Therapy – Back Side (10 Minutes)
Lift the panel enough for you to turn around and lie on your stomach, so the red light can treat the back of your body. Lower the panel to the correct distance, relax, and let the light do the work for another 10 minutes.
Step 4:
Vibration Plate – Round 2 (5 Minutes)
You’ll hop back on the vibration plate for another 5 minutes, this time to help flush toxins and enhance lymphatic drainage after your light session.
Step 5:
Post-Treatment
That’s it! Get dressed, enjoy the post-session glow, and drink plenty of water to support your body's natural detox processes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the treatment feel like?
It’s painless and relaxing. The light feels warm on your skin—many people even nap during their sessions!
How long is a session?
Most plans run 20 minutes of light: 10 minutes front + 10 minutes back for a dual‑sided, whole‑body treatment.
For targeted concerns (e.g., face, a single joint, or a small wound), we may treat one side/area for 10 minutes.
We will confirm the exact timing during your consult based on your goals and protocol.
How many sessions do I need and when do I see results?
For general wellness and maintenance, we recommend 2-3 sessions per week with at least one day between sessions to support the body's detoxification process.
Some people feel better after 1–2 sessions, especially with pain. For long-term results like skin and body changes, we recommend 6–12 sessions.
Is this safe?
Yes! Red light therapy has been used safely for decades. It doesn’t use UV rays and has no known serious side effects.
