What is Red Light Therapy?
Red and near infrared (NIR) light therapy, commonly known as “Red Light Therapy” or “Photobiomodulation”, has gained recognition over the years for its promising potential in the restoration, rejuvenation and energising of our cells and body.
Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a safe, non-toxic, and non-invasive wellness approach that harnesses targeted wavelengths of light to activate cellular processes within the body.
RLT is classified within the electromagnetic spectrum, specifically within the range of light wavelengths emitted by the sun. These particular wavelengths of light are considered “bioactive” in humans.
The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a vast array of electromagnetic energy with varying wavelengths and the specific wavelength of this energy plays a pivotal role in determining its unique properties and effects.
What can I expect?
The Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy has proven to be a powerful, effective way to upgrade your wellness game. Completely natural and often appreciated for its holistic qualities, RLT offers a wide range of potential benefits for your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.
Improved skin health
RLT has shown promising results in reducing wrinkles, increasing collagen production, helping improve skin tone and texture as well as improving the overall appearance of your skin.
Chronic Pain Relief
Backed by a clinical study conducted and published in 2015, RLT has the potential to offer relief for chronic pain by improving circulation, reducing inflammation in body tissue and degradation of the muscle and connective tissue (known as the 'tissue matrix'). It has further potential with relieving muscle join stiffness and has been reported to "significantly reduce" the severity of arthritis. Researchers have reported the potential to enhance the cell signalling pathways that are involved in the formation of bones, bone repairing and proliferation.
Boosts Metabolism
This effective treatment has potential to boost your metabolism. As RLT improves bloody circulation, it activates your body's metabolic system, improving the delivery of oxygen to your muscles which results in stimulated muscle movement. In addition, it has potential to help with insulin sensitivity and physical exercise.
Reduced Inflammation
Studies have suggested that RLT could help with alleviating inflammation of muscles and joints, potentially benefiting individuals who experience arthritis or general muscle soreness.
Enhanced Muscle Recovery
Through promoting cellular energy production and reducing oxidative stress, RLT may aid in muscle recovery after performing a workout, exercise routine or sustaining an injury.
Increased Collagen Production
RLT has been commonly used to naturally address the signs of ageing (often caused by lack of collagen) and particular skin damage including fine lines, wrinkles and sunspots by stimulating collagen production.
Proven Mood & Energy Booster
This non-toxic, non-invasive light therapy has been proven to boost serotonin and dopamine levels. Additionally, treatments in the evening have potential to help increase the secretion of melatonin which can lead to better sleep quality. Better sleep equals an overall improvement in all social health areas.
How Does It Work?
By delivering low level light to the body’s cells, this energy is absorbed by mitochondria (the powerhouse of cells), stimulating cellular metabolism and the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Additionally, RLT may trigger the release of nitric oxide, a molecule known to enhance blood flow and promote healing.
Why Consider Red Light Therapy?
RLT offers a holistic approach to improving wellness by addressing various aspects of your social health, especially physically and mentally. It is versatile, non-invasive and is complementary to other holistic wellness practices, making it one of the best natural ways to improve your overall well-being.
- Versatility – RLT can be used for multiple purposes including skin care, pain management, athletic performance and enhancement of overall well-being
- Non-Invasive – Being non-invasive makes RLT an attractive option for individuals seeking natural alternatives to conventional treatments
- Complementary to other practices – RLT can be seamlessly integrated with other holistic wellness practices such as meditation, exercise and other healthy lifestyle choices
Red Light Therapy - Safety Considerations
When used as directed, Red and near infrared (NIR) light therapy is generally considered to be safe. However, certain safety precautions should be followed such as:
- Eye protection: Direct exposure of the eyes to the light should be avoided as it may cause damage.
- Follow guidelines: It is crucial that you adhere to the guidelines and instructions provided to you by our staff for your own protection and safety. Guidelines can include session duration, light intensity and distance from the light source.
- Specific Health Conditions: It is important to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any specific health conditions or concerns before commencing RLT.

RLT has emerged as a promising modality in the realm of holistic health and wellness.
With the potential benefits ranging from improved skin health and reduced inflammation to enhanced muscle recovery and mood enhancement, this therapy offers individuals a unique, natural approach to supporting their health and overall well-being.

RLT emits a low heat level that is painless and doesn't burn your skin.
The light is very different to tanning booths and does not expose skin to any damaging UV rays.
As with any form of treatment, there is always a potential for side effects, however these ones tend to be minimal - mild redness or a slight tingling sensation.
Although Red Light Therapy is safe, the lights are bright and may cause slight discomfort (especially for those with light sensitivity) if using for a long duration. Our goggles are designed to block out the light and provide a more comfortable experience.
You can come for sessions as often as you feel is required - there is no limitation!
The best results are produced with regular attendance or when used daily, however (depending on your situation) we recommend 2-3 sessions a week to see how you feel.
You must have a break of 6-8 hours between sessions to allow for maximum benefit.
For new clients, you will need to complete paperwork and an initial consult prior to your first session. For the session duration, you will be laying down with the red light placed over the treatment area. You may be given goggles to wear.
Best results come from bare skin, please wear comfortable undergarments. Small towels will be provided for privacy.
