Red Light Therapy
Harnessing the properties of Red Light Therapy, an extremely popular modality designed to promote rejuvenation, and overall well-being. Utilizing the therapeutic properties of red and near-infrared light, this non-invasive therapy harnesses the natural power of light to target a wide range of concerns and promote optimal health from within.
How Red Light Therapy Works
Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy, works by exposing the skin to concentrated wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths penetrate deep into the skin’s layers, stimulating cellular energy production and promoting various biological processes within the body.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy offers a myriad of benefits for both physical and mental well-being.
Some of the key benefits may include:
633nm (Red Light)
Skin Rejuvenation
Red light at 633nm penetrates into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin through activated fibroblasts. Clinical studies show significant improvements in skin tone, texture, firmness, and wrinkle reduction, including up to 36% wrinkle reduction, 19% elasticity improvement, and measurable increases in intradermal collagen density.
Common conditions supported: fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, sun damage, age spots, dull or thinning skin.
Wound Reparation
633nm supports wound healing by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and enhancing tissue repair. Reviews of LED therapy show accelerated healing after injuries and procedures, with improved recovery during early wound phases.
Common conditions supported: post-procedure healing, minor cuts, abrasions, mild burns, post-laser recovery, irritated or inflamed skin.
660nm (Red Light)
Pain Relief
Red light at 660nm offers analgesic effects for arthritis, muscle soreness, and joint stiffness. Evidence shows reductions in inflammation, oxidative stress, and pain perception through enhanced ATP production and neural modulation.
Common conditions supported: joint pain, muscle tension, arthritis discomfort, post-workout soreness, tendon irritation, localized inflammation.
Hair Growth
660nm stimulates hair follicles by increasing cellular proliferation and activating pathways. Human studies show 35–51% improvements in hair density over 16 weeks.
Common conditions supported: early-stage thinning, androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern), brittle hair, slow regrowth.
850nm (Near-Infrared Light)
Anti-Inflammatory
Near-infrared light at 850nm reduces inflammation by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhancing cellular energy production. It supports relief in joints, tendons, and soft tissues.
Common conditions supported: arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, soft-tissue inflammation, repetitive strain injuries.
Brain Health
850nm provides neuroprotective benefits and supports cognitive function through improved blood flow and cellular repair. Early studies show improvements in focus and mental clarity.
Common conditions supported: brain fog, mild cognitive fatigue, post-concussion symptoms (supportive), mood imbalance, stress-related cognitive slowdown.
940nm (Near-Infrared Light)
Deep Tissue Support
940nm penetrates deeply into muscles and connective tissues, supporting oxygen delivery, circulation, and cellular repair. It is beneficial for recovering from strain, overuse, or chronic muscular tightness.
Common conditions supported: chronic muscle tightness, deep tissue inflammation, post-exercise fatigue, low back tension, hip or glute tightness.
Circulation & Lymphatic Flow
940nm improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage, aiding detoxification and reducing swelling. Studies show enhanced endothelial repair and reduced edema in musculoskeletal conditions.
Common conditions supported: poor circulation, lymphatic stagnation, swelling/edema, sluggish recovery, fluid retention, tissue congestion.

During a red light therapy session, you will be exposed to red or near-infrared light, emitted from our specialized RLT bed. It is recommended to wear undergarments or go nude to allow the light to reach your skin effectively. The session will take place in a private, quiet, comfortable environment to promote relaxation.
Once the session begins, you will be in a lying position and in close proximity to the red light therapy bed, with the light directed towards all areas of the body during the session. The duration of the session is 10-15 minutes in duration.
During the session, you may experience a sensation of warmth or mild tingling as the light penetrates your skin. Many people find the experience to be soothing and relaxing, akin to basking in sunlight.
After the session is complete, you can resume your normal activities immediately. Some individuals may notice immediate benefits, such as improved mood or reduced pain, while others may experience the full effects over time with regular sessions.
While red light therapy is considered safe for most individuals, there are certain circumstances where it may not be advisable. Here are some important reasons not to use red light therapy:
- If you have photosensitivity
- If you have active Cancer
- If you have had recent steroid use
- If you have eye conditions (Retinal Detachment, Glaucoma)
- If you have skin lesions or infections
- If you have implanted medical devices (Pacemakers, Defibrillators)
- If you have medication interactions (Photosensitizing Drugs)
- If you are Pregnant (should consult with your Medical Professional)
Experience the transformative benefits of our Red Light Therapy beds. Our RLT sessions are conducted in a relaxing and serene environment, allowing you to unwind and recharge both body and mind. Whether you are seeking relief from pain, rejuvenation for your skin, or a natural way to enhance your overall well-being, Red Light Therapy offers a safe, effective, and drug-free solution for optimal health and vitality.
