BLMC Bio Fotonen Therapie
Restoring natural cell communication with light
At BLMC we use biophoton therapy as part of our integrative approach.
We use a professional medical light system that transmits gentle light pulses through the skin to the body.
This therapy is complementary: it can support natural recovery and regulation.
Why Biofotonen therapy?
01
Soft, non-invasive support
The treatment works with light pulses through the skin, completely painless and without pricking or cutting.
02
Focused on regulation and balance
Photon therapy is used to gently support the body's natural regulatory and recovery capacity.
03
Additional within a medical trajectory
At BLMC, the therapy is only applied after medical evaluation and always as an addition to existing treatments.
04
Possibly useful for long-term stress
It can be considered for complaints such as fatigue, stress and recovery after illness, always tailored to your individual situation.
05
Can be combined well with other therapies
Photon therapy is integrated with other supportive treatments within one integrated treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
How does photon therapy fit into BLMC's approach?
At BLMC, photon therapy is always used as part of an integrative medical programme. First, the doctor conducts a medical evaluation; only then do we consider whether photon therapy would be useful as a complementary support, alongside regular examinations and treatments.
For which complaints and indications is photon therapy considered?
At BLMC, photon therapy is used as a complementary treatment for conditions including: Lyme disease (Lyme borreliosis) and co-infections, as part of a broader treatment plan CVS/ME and other forms of chronic fatigue Skin problems, such as eczema, acne, scars and delayed wound healing Recovery after illness or prolonged stress Supporting the immune system and general resistance Quitting smoking, as additional support within a smoking cessation programme Stress, tension and dysregulated complaints, sometimes in combination with pain
Does photon therapy replace medical treatment?
No. Photon therapy is not a substitute for medical diagnosis, medication or other necessary treatments. It is an additional building block within a broader treatment plan, never a stand-alone ‘solution’ for a condition.
Does photon therapy treatment hurt?
No. The treatment is non-invasive and painless. It involves gentle light pulses being applied to the skin; there is no need for needles or incisions. Most people find the session calm and relaxing.
How does a photon therapy session work in practice?
After the intake, the doctor or therapist chooses which areas or points will be treated. You lie or sit comfortably while the light system emits gentle light pulses through the skin for a certain period of time. This is followed by a short debriefing to determine whether and how the treatment will be continued.
How many treatments are usually required?
This varies per person and per complaint. Sometimes a few sessions are sufficient; in other cases, photon therapy is part of a longer treatment programme. The number and frequency of treatments are always discussed with you individually.
Are there any known side effects of photon therapy?
In general, photon therapy is well tolerated. Some people feel a little sluggish or tired after a session, similar to how they feel after deep relaxation. If unexpected or bothersome reactions occur, we always discuss this and adjust the plan if necessary.
Is photon therapy suitable for everyone?
Extra caution is required in certain conditions, when using specific medication, during pregnancy or in cases of unclear symptoms. Our doctor will therefore always first assess whether photon therapy is medically appropriate in your situation.
Can photon therapy be combined with other treatments?
Yes. At BLMC, photon therapy is deliberately combined with other conventional and integrative therapies. We coordinate treatments so that they reinforce each other as much as possible rather than counteracting each other.
How quickly will I notice the effects of photon therapy?
That varies greatly from person to person. Some people notice greater relaxation, better sleep or a change in their symptoms after just a few sessions. For others, the process is more gradual. We regularly evaluate together whether the treatment is contributing to the goals we agreed upon in advance.
How does photon therapy relate to current science?
Light therapy (photobiomodulation) is being researched in the literature for conditions such as pain, skin problems, wound healing and regulation. The results are interesting, but the scientific basis for photon therapy in this specific form is still under development. That is why we clearly offer it as a complementary therapy, not as a proven standard treatment. For more information, see further down this page.
What can I do if I am unsure whether photon therapy is right for me?
If you are unsure, the best step is to schedule a consultation at BLMC in Schoten or online. During this consultation, we will discuss your symptoms, medical history and expectations. Based on this, we will give you honest advice on whether photon therapy is appropriate for your situation and what other options are available.
