Red light therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) uses red and near-infrared wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate mitochondrial function — the energy-producing centers of your cells. When cells receive this light stimulus, they produce more ATP (cellular energy), reduce oxidative stress, and activate repair processes. This makes red light therapy one of the most versatile and well-researched tools in functional wellness, with applications ranging from skin rejuvenation and pain relief to immune support and improved sleep.
During a session, you are positioned close to a high-powered red light panel that delivers specific wavelengths — typically 630–660nm (red) and 810–850nm (near-infrared). Red wavelengths work primarily at the skin surface, stimulating collagen and reducing inflammation. Near-infrared wavelengths penetrate more deeply, reaching muscles, joints, and even bone to support healing at a structural level. Sessions are painless and require no recovery time.
Sessions typically last 10–20 minutes. You may feel gentle warmth from the light, but there is no discomfort. Most clients notice improvements in skin tone, energy, or pain levels after a series of sessions — with optimal results typically seen after consistent use over several weeks. Red light therapy pairs particularly well with other treatments offered at the practice, enhancing detoxification, immune support, and recovery protocols.

Is red light therapy safe?
Yes — red and near-infrared light therapy is one of the most well-studied complementary therapies available, with an extensive safety record. It is non-ionizing, non-thermal at therapeutic doses, and has no known significant side effects when used as directed.
How many sessions do I need to see results?
While some clients notice improvements after a single session, most meaningful results develop over a series of 6–12 sessions. Frequency and duration of treatment depend on your specific goals — skin health, pain relief, or systemic support each have slightly different optimal protocols.
Can red light therapy be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely — in fact, it works synergistically with many of the other services offered here. It is commonly combined with IV therapy, detox protocols, and Lyme treatment plans to enhance overall recovery and cellular function.
Are there any contraindications?
Red light therapy is not recommended for individuals with active cancer, those who are pregnant, or people taking photosensitizing medications. A full health intake is completed before treatment to ensure it is appropriate for you.
