Book a session Learn moreLight that heals at a cellular level
Low level laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation — without heat, pain, or any interference with feeding or milk supply.
Non-invasive
Painless therapy applied directly to the affected area. No needles, no medication, no downtime.
Fast relief
Many women experience significant pain reduction within the first session, with tissue healing continuing across a series of visits.
Safe for breastfeeding
Completely safe during lactation. LLLT does not affect milk supply, milk composition, or your baby.
Conditions we treat with LLLT
LLLT is suitable for a range of breastfeeding-related concerns. Early referral or self-referral gives the best outcomes.
What to expect
Sessions are gentle, quick, and can be done with your baby present.
Initial consultation
We discuss your concerns, feeding history, and goals to tailor your therapy plan.
Laser application
The laser is applied painlessly to the affected area. Each session takes approximately 30 minutes.
Series of visits
Most women benefit from a series of sessions, with pain relief often felt after the first.
Ongoing support
We monitor your progress and adjust the plan as needed, alongside our broader lactation support.
Eligible women can be bulk billed
LLLT can be bulk billed for eligible women within the midwifery scope of care up to 8 weeks postpartum. We encourage early referral to maximise this benefit and achieve the fastest possible outcomes.
If you have private health insurance, you may also be entitled to a rebate through your fund. Contact your insurer directly to confirm your level of cover for lactation services. Once paid, you can submit your receipt to your fund directly for reimbursement.
