Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy has been shown to benefit a wide range of conditions, supported by growing clinical research. Studies indicate it can significantly reduce chronic pain and inflammation, making it effective for conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, and fibromyalgia. Research published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology has also highlighted its role in improving skin conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema, by stimulating collagen production and reducing inflammation. Additionally, red light therapy aids in muscle recovery and wound healing by enhancing mitochondrial function and circulation, as noted in studies from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It has also shown promise in managing seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and sleep issues, due to its influence on circadian rhythm and melatonin regulation. This evidence-backed therapy offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

Most people begin to notice results from red light therapy after 4 to 6 sessions, though this can vary depending on the condition being treated and individual response. For skin health and collagen production, some improvements may be visible within 1 to 2 weeks of consistent use (e.g., 3–5 sessions per week). For chronic pain, inflammation, or muscle recovery, clients often report relief after just a few sessions, sometimes as early as the second or third visit.

For long-lasting results, a minimum of 8 to 12 sessions is commonly recommended, followed by maintenance treatments 1–2 times per week. Red light therapy works cumulatively, so consistency is key to achieving and maintaining benefits.

A typical red light therapy session is simple, relaxing, and non-invasive. You’ll begin by lying down in the red light therapy bed—similar to a tanning bed but without UV rays. You’ll be asked to remove any clothing covering the treatment areas to allow the light to fully penetrate the skin, and protective eyewear will be provided for comfort and safety.

Once the session starts, the bed emits soothing red and near-infrared light, gently warming the body. You’ll simply relax for 10 to 15 minutes while the light works to boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and stimulate cellular healing. Most clients describe the experience as peaceful and rejuvenating, with no pain, downtime, or side effects. After your session, you can return to your day feeling refreshed and energized.
