They are wise, gentle and compassionate and can cope with business cautiously and circumspectly. In their daily life, they try to be economical. They are willing to take good care of others, but they should avoid pessimism and hesitation.

Light and photonics are poised to become key enabling technologies of the future”

“Light in Life

Through photosynthesis, light is at the origin of all life. Photonic technologies provide new tools for doctors and surgeons, new developments in optometry and vision science improve quality of life, and light-based technologies are used every day in medical diagnostics in ways that we are often unaware of. This page will contain links to resources that will allow you to understand how light science and light technologies impact on medicine, vision and life sciences in general”

The Lightworks Clinic is delighted to announce the introduction of Full Body Medical Thermographic Reporting.

How can Medical Thermography help  …                                                       Thermography is a non-contact means by which vascular, neural and functional assessments can be made  –  giving doctors, consultants, physios and multi-disciplinary therapists a clearer ‘picture’ of underlying issues that may be the cause of prolonged or unexplained symptoms  –  or to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.

Further diagnostic assessment, as and when needed, would be referred to the team of Prof Marcos Leal Brioschi, Medical Director Infraredmed (www.infraredmed.com), President of the Brazilian Thermology Society ABRATERM  and acknowledged leading world specialist in Medical Thermography.
