Red Light Therapy
The Red Light Experience:
Red Light Therapy is a painless and relaxing service that takes 20 minutes. Stand or lay for your full body treatment 10 minutes on each side. A trained expert will go over any questions you might have, turn on the Red Light Therapy machine and then leave to give you privacy. Clients usually remove their clothes to allow their skin to soak up the maximum amount of light during their session.
During your session, you’ll feel a mild warmth coming from the lights. We recommend that clients do not look directly at the lights during their session. If your eyes are sensitive to light, you can choose to wear your own sunglasses or use the goggles we provide. Whether or not your eyes are not sensitive to the light, we encourage clients to close their eyes, relax and soak up the glow!
How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
Red Light Therapy uses low levels of red and near-infrared light to help power your cells and promote healing and energy. The low wavelength produced by our Red Light Therapy machines can be absorbed by the mitochondria in your body, which are responsible for many important processes in your day-to-day health, healing abilities and energy production. This relaxing service may help the body promote healing, boost energy levels, relieve minor pain and swelling and balance your mood—all in as little as 10-15 minutes per day.

The Powerhouse Of The Cell
Within our cells, we have small structures called mitochondria. Much like the photosynthesis process in plants, these structures soak up light and convert its energy into cellular fuel.
ATP Fuel Boost
When red light shines through the body, it interacts with the mitochondria, stimulating the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary energy currency in our bodies.
Improved Cellular Function
So, increased ATP production means there’s more energy within each cell. A cell with high energy is better able to perform its specialized functions, repair itself, and replicate.
Improved Cellular Function
This process stimulates collagen production, improves blood circulation, and reduces inflammation, causing a ripple effect that enhances overall health and contributes to faster healing.
The Treatments
Due to its penetration range, red light is used in deep tissue treatments to promote muscle recovery, boost skin rejuvenation, and relieve pain, improving general well-being and physical performance.
