Red Light Therapy
AKA: photobiomodulation therapy
Benefits of Red & Near Infrared Light Therapy
01
pain & inflammation
RLT addresses pain and inflammation from a cellular level! The light waves penetrate deep into the body's tissues to optimize cell function, which ultimately reduces pain and
inflammation.
03
skin health
By improving mitochondrial function to optimize ATP production RLT helps to protect the skin's collagen & elastin (its building blocks), enhances your body's natural ability to regenerate cells and
produces an anti-inflammatory response!
05
hormones
Emerging research supports Red Light Therapy as an effective treatment option for Hypothyroidism, low testosterone, and
symptoms of Menopause!
02
muscle fitness & recovery
Red light has been showed to enhance your body's fitness capacity and promore a speedier recovery! It does this by improving the mitochondrial (your body's generator) function & therefore, ATP (your body's fuel) production.
04
sleep
Red light therapy is a great tool to help wind down before bed! It's calming, relaxing and there is evidence that it can boost
serum melatonin levels!
06
brain health & cognitive function
Although a new area of study, Light Therapy is a promising treatment for positively affecting cognition, attention, memory, anxiety, and depression. We might even go as far to say it can affect
Alzheimer's and Dementia!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support cellular function, circulation, and tissue repair. It’s a non-invasive, relaxing therapy that works at a deep, cellular level.
What does Red Light Therapy do in the body?
RLT helps stimulate the mitochondria (the “energy centres” of your cells), which may improve how cells repair and regenerate. This can support healing, reduce inflammation, and promote overall balance.
Is Red Light Therapy safe?
Yes. Red light therapy is considered very safe when used appropriately. It does not emit UV rays and does not cause burns or damage to the skin.
How often should I book Red Light Therapy Sessions?
Consistency matters. Many people benefit from 2–3 sessions per week, especially when starting out or during higher-stress seasons. Your practitioner can help guide you toward a frequency that supports your goals.
What do I need to bring to my sessions?
No need to bring anything specific! Red Light Therapy is most effective with as much skin exposure as possible and best if you do not have any lotion or makeup on your skin. We have a Bluetooth speaker available to use while you are in session and filtered + mineralized water available for after! :)
What is Red Light Therapy good for?
Red light therapy may support:
-
Muscle recovery and joint pain
-
Inflammation reduction
-
Skin health and healing
-
Energy and circulation
-
Nervous system regulation
-
Postpartum recovery
-
Overall wellness and resilience
Is Red Light Therapy safe during pregnancy?
Red light therapy (RLT) is generally considered potentially safe for localized use (face, limbs) during pregnancy, with some studies showing benefits for mood and pain, but most experts advise caution, especially avoiding the abdomen/pelvis and the first trimester, due to limited research and the need for more data on fetal safety, so always consult your OB-GYN first.
