Red Light Therapy has gained popularity for its proven success across a variety of health, wellness, and beauty applications. One of the most successful uses is in anti-aging skincare, where consistent sessions have helped clients reduce fine lines, tighten skin, and restore a healthy, youthful glow. Athletes and active individuals regularly use red light therapy for muscle recovery, to reduce inflammation, and speed up healing from sprains, strains, and sports injuries. Many people living with arthritis or chronic joint pain report significant improvements in mobility and comfortafter ongoing treatments. It's also highly effective for managing acne and rosacea, minimizing breakouts, calming redness, and improving skin texture. Clients dealing with seasonal affective disorder (SAD)or low energy have found sessions helpful for boosting mood and enhancing sleep quality by rebalancing circadian rhythms. Whether you're looking for visible results in the mirror or seeking lasting relief from daily discomfort, Red Light Therapy offers a safe, non-invasive, and effective path to feeling and looking your best.
Whether you're looking to rejuvenate your skin, ease pain, recover faster, or boost your energy, our red and near-infrared light sessions offer a gentle, effective way to support your health and wellness goals.
Book your session today and take the first step toward glowing skin, lasting relief, and full-body vitality.
Red light therapy panels emit specific wavelengths of light, each designed to target different layers of the body’s tissue for unique therapeutic effects. The two most common and clinically studied ranges are Red Light (around 630–660 nanometers) and Near-Infrared Light (around 810–850 nanometers). While both are safe, non-invasive, and work synergistically, they penetrate the body to different depths and serve slightly different purposes:
This wavelength range primarily targets the skin’s surface. It’s highly effective for boosting collagen production, reducing wrinkles, improving skin tone, and accelerating the healing of wounds, cuts, and acne. It’s ideal for facial rejuvenation and other beauty-focused treatments.
These longer wavelengths penetrate deeper into the body—reaching muscles, joints, and even bones. Near-infrared light is best for promoting muscle recovery, reducing joint pain, easing inflammation, and supporting cellular regeneration at a deeper level. It’s frequently used by athletes, chronic pain sufferers, and those recovering from injury or surgery.
Near-Infrared (NIR) light at 1062nm is a powerful, invisible wavelength that penetrates deeply into the body’s soft tissues—far beyond what visible red light can reach. Though you can’t see it with the naked eye, this wavelength works at a cellular level to stimulate circulation, boost mitochondrial function (ATP production), and reduce oxidative stress, which helps accelerate healing and recovery. Because it reaches deeper layers of tissue, 1062nm NIR light is especially effective for relieving joint and muscle pain, reducing inflammation, and supporting long-term tissue repair. It's a safe, non-invasive therapy ideal for those managing chronic pain, arthritis, sports injuries, or simply seeking full-body wellness without heat, discomfort, or medication.
Many modern red light panels combine both red and near-infrared light to deliver full-spectrum therapeutic results, addressing both surface-level skin concerns and deeper tissue healing in one session. Choosing the right wavelength—or a panel that combines both—ensures that you’re getting a personalized and effective red light therapy experience.

Effective for relieving joint and muscle pain, reducing inflammation, and supporting long-term tissue repair.
In addition to different wavelengths and colors, many advanced red light therapy devices offer adjustable frequencies or pulsing modes—which refer to how quickly the light turns on and off during a session. These light frequencies (measured in hertz, or Hz) can have a significant impact on how the body responds to treatment and are often used to target specific health concerns more effectively.
Different conditions respond better to specific frequencies, and many professional-grade panels allow users to adjust or cycle through pulsing modes to optimize their treatment. Incorporating frequency modulation into red light therapy not only enhances results but also provides a more targeted and personalized experience.
Red light pulses refer to the frequency at which the light turns on and off during therapy, measured in hertz (Hz). Instead of a continuous beam, the light flashes in rapid intervals—like a steady rhythm—that can influence how cells respond. Different pulse frequencies can have unique effects on cellular processes, making pulsed red light therapy a versatile tool in healing and recovery.
Pulsing the light helps to reduce heat buildup, allowing for longer or more comfortable sessions without overheating the skin or tissues. This intermittent stimulation may enhance cellular energy production, promote better absorption of light, and support tissue repair more efficiently. Many users find pulsed therapy helpful for reducing inflammation, speeding muscle recovery, and improving pain relief compared to steady light.
Different pulse rates can target specific conditions or treatment goals. Lower frequencies (e.g., 1–10 Hz) are often used to stimulate cell regeneration and reduce inflammation, while higher frequencies (20–50 Hz) may improve circulation and pain management. Some advanced devices allow you to customize pulse settings to match your personal needs, optimizing the benefits of your red light therapy sessions.
