MEDWAVE LIGHT THERAPY
TARGETED LIGHT.
CLINICALLY GUIDED CARE.
NON-INVASIVE PHOTOBIOMODULATION AT DNLC
MedWave uses selected red and near-infrared light as part of a clinically guided approach to pain management, recovery and broader neurological wellness.
Treatment suitability, application and scheduling are determined following an individual assessment.
PHOTOBIOMODULATION,
DELIVERED WITH PRECISION
WHAT IS MEDWAVE LIGHT THERAPY?
MedWave is a non-invasive photobiomodulation system that delivers selected red and near-infrared light to targeted areas of the body.
Unlike surgical lasers, this form of light therapy does not cut tissue. Treatment is delivered through light-emitting panels positioned over the selected treatment area while the patient rests comfortably.
Photobiomodulation research continues to investigate how specific light wavelengths may interact with cellular processes involved in energy production, circulation, inflammatory signalling and tissue recovery.
At Durban Neuro Laser Clinic, MedWave is used within an individualised care plan rather than as a standard treatment for every patient.
Non-Invasive
Treatment does not involve incisions, injections or surgical procedures.
Targeted Delivery
The treatment area and light application are selected according to the patient’s assessment and clinical goals.
Clinically Guided
Treatment recommendations, positioning and session scheduling are determined by the DNLC clinical team.
SELECTED LIGHT,
INDIVIDUAL APPLICATION
Photobiomodulation is influenced by several factors, including the wavelength used, treatment area, light intensity, exposure time and the individual’s clinical needs.
Step 01
Light Delivery
The MedWave panels deliver selected red or near-infrared light over the treatment area without touching or cutting the skin.
Step 02
Biological Interaction
Light may interact with light-sensitive cellular components involved in mitochondrial activity and biological signalling.
CARE SELECTED AROUND
INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
MedWave may be considered as part of a supportive care plan for selected pain-related, inflammatory, neurological and recovery concerns.
A diagnosis does not automatically mean that MedWave is appropriate. Suitability and expected goals must be assessed individually.
01
Pain Management
MedWave may be considered as part of a wider approach to managing selected acute or persistent pain concerns.
Examples may include:
Musculoskeletal pain
Joint discomfort
Neuropathic pain
Back and neck pain
Fibromyalgia-related concerns
02
Inflammation and Recovery
Photobiomodulation may be incorporated into individualised recovery plans where clinically appropriate.
Examples may include:
Muscular recovery
Soft-tissue concerns
Post-exercise recovery
Selected inflammatory concerns
Rehabilitation support
03
Neurological Wellness
Potential areas of consideration may include:
Cognitive wellness
Neurological recovery
Fatigue and reduced mental energy
Healthy neurological ageing
General brain wellness
04
Tissue and Wound Support
Selected photobiomodulation applications are being investigated for their potential role in tissue-recovery processes.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING
MEDWAVE TREATMENT
The exact treatment experience will depend on the selected treatment area and your individual care plan. The team will explain the process before treatment begins.
Step 01
Consultation
Your medical history, symptoms, current treatment and goals are discussed with the clinical team.
step 02
Suitability Assessment
The team considers whether MedWave is appropriate and whether additional medical guidance is required.
step 03
Treatment Positioning
You will be positioned comfortably while the light panels are placed over the selected treatment area.
Step 04
Review
Your experience and progress are reviewed so that the care plan can be continued, adjusted or reconsidered when necessary.
PERSONALISED CARE,
NOT A STANDARD PROTOCOL
No two patients have exactly the same medical history, symptoms, current treatment or goals.
MedWave recommendations at Durban Neuro Laser Clinic are made following consideration of the individual’s clinical needs and broader neurological or medical care.
Photobiomodulation may form part of a supportive or integrated treatment plan. It should not replace prescribed medication, urgent medical treatment or established neurological management unless advised by the appropriate treating professional.
01
Specialist-Led
Treatment is provided within a clinic guided by specialist neurological knowledge.
02
Individualised
The treatment area, application and schedule are selected according to each patient’s assessment.
03
Monitored
Progress and treatment experience are reviewed during the care journey.

FQS
What is MedWave?
MedWave is a photobiomodulation system that delivers selected red and near-infrared light over targeted areas of the body. At DNLC, its use is clinically guided and based on individual suitability.
Is MedWave treatment painful?
Treatment is non-invasive and does not involve cutting tissue or injections. Patient experiences can differ, and the team will explain what to expect before treatment begins.
How long does a MedWave session take?
Treatment duration varies according to the area being treated, the selected application and the individual care plan. The clinical team will provide more specific guidance following assessment.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no standard number that applies to every patient. Recommendations depend on clinical needs, treatment goals and response.
Is MedWave appropriate for every condition?
No. Having a particular diagnosis does not automatically mean that MedWave is suitable. Clinical assessment is required.
Can MedWave replace my medication?
Patients should not stop or change prescribed medication without guidance from their treating medical professional. MedWave may be considered as part of a wider care plan where appropriate.
Are results guaranteed?
No. Treatment response and outcomes vary between patients. The clinical team will discuss realistic goals and review your progress.
Where is MedWave available?
Patients should contact DNLC to confirm current availability at the Life Entabeni Hospital and Busamed Gateway Private Hospital locations.
