Frequently Asked Questions

Red Light Therapy FAQ

What is Red Light Therapy (PBM)?

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), is a non-invasive wellness service that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to energize the body at the cellular level. The light is absorbed by your cells' mitochondria, helping to reduce inflammation, speed up healing, and support overall cellular health and function.

Is Red Light Therapy safe?

Yes, red light therapy is a safe, FDA-registered service that uses low-level red and near-infrared light. It does not produce harmful heat or UV radiation and has no known serious side effects when used properly. The experience is gentle, relaxing, and suitable for regular use.

What does a Red Light Therapy session feel like?

A session is completely non-invasive and comfortable. You will lay on a bed with red and near-infrared light panels for 12 minutes. The light feels warm but not hot, and there is no pain or discomfort. Most guests describe the experience as calming and energizing.

Does Red Light Therapy help with longevity?

Emerging research suggests that red light therapy may support longevity by improving cellular health, reducing chronic inflammation, and enhancing mitochondrial function. These benefits can help slow some of the natural effects of aging, support tissue repair, and promote healthier skin and circulation. Many guests incorporate it into their long-term wellness routines to help their bodies function more efficiently over time.

How does Red Light Therapy work?

Red light therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to the skin and underlying tissues. These wavelengths penetrate deep into the body and are absorbed by the mitochondria - your cells’ energy producers.

This process boosts cellular energy (ATP), enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes faster repair and regeneration. The result is improved overall function and recovery at a cellular level.

Does Red Light Therapy help with skincare?

Yes, red light therapy is widely used to support skin health. It can stimulate collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture, and accelerate the healing of blemishes or irritation. By increasing circulation and reducing inflammation, red light therapy helps your skin look clearer, healthier, and more vibrant over time. 

Does Red Light Therapy help with Mental Health?

Many guests report improved mood, focus, and sleep after regular sessions. Research indicates that red light therapy may support mental wellness by reducing inflammation in the brain, improving sleep quality, and helping regulate mood-related hormones like serotonin and melatonin. While it is not a replacement for mental health care, it can be a helpful complement to an overall wellness routine.

Does Red Light Therapy help with injuries?

Yes, red light therapy is widely used to support recovery from soft tissue injuries, joint pain, and post-exercise muscle soreness. It enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes faster tissue repair—making it popular among athletes and guests managing chronic pain or minor injuries, such as:

  • Sore muscles
  • Joint pain
  • Chronic pain
  • Minor muscle damage
  • Repetitive injuries
