Why clients choose it
Recovery-focused self-care, temporary muscle soreness, skin wellness or an easy way to pause and rest.
Light-Based Wellness
Red Light Therapy
A quiet, noninvasive session using red and near-infrared wavelengths of light.
The basic science
Light interacting with tissue.
Red light therapy uses selected wavelengths of visible red and near-infrared light. Unlike ultraviolet light, these wavelengths do not tan the skin. Researchers study how light absorbed by cells may influence cellular signaling and energy-related processes.
Because the experience is comfortable, quiet and requires no physical effort, red light therapy is an easy way to add restorative time to a busy wellness routine.
A restorative addition
Red and near-infrared light are widely explored for their ability to support cellular activity. Clients often add sessions to routines centered on muscle recovery, skin wellness and overall restoration.
Comfort and timing
Sessions are noninvasive. Follow the recommended distance and duration rather than assuming more exposure is better.
Safety considerations
Tell staff about light sensitivity, eye conditions, pregnancy, active cancer care or medicines and supplements that increase photosensitivity. Do not stare directly into the light; use eye protection when the device instructions call for it. Seek medical care for symptoms requiring diagnosis rather than using red light as a substitute.
