Red Light Therapy Redlands

Discover the science-backed benefits of red light therapy

Red light therapy (RLT) is a safe and non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Our Theralight 360+ harnesses the power of Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) – a well-established way of using the healing power of light at precisely calibrated and adjustable wavelengths to penetrate the body at a cellular level. RLT activates the mitochondria to enhance the production of ATP, which optimises cellular energy, reduces the effects of oxidative stress, and can improve overall well-being.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy Redlands

Red light therapy uses both red and near-infrared light (between 600 and 1,100 nanometres) in typical light bed applications, where the wavelengths emit little to no heat. When applied properly with the correct wavelengths, the light is able to penetrate the skin and target cells directly. Stressed or damaged cells, which might be deprived of oxygen, compete with free radicals for available oxygen to produce energy in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the fuel source essential for healthy cellular function and repair.

One of the most popular benefits of red light therapy is its ability to improve skin health. The red and near-infrared light stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. It also enhances blood flow to the skin’s surface, promoting a clearer, brighter, and more even complexion. Regular sessions can help fade scars, minimise blemishes, and reduce redness caused by inflammation or acne.

Muscle recovery with natural pain relief

Red light therapy penetrates deep into muscles and tissues, reducing inflammation and promoting faster recovery from workouts or injuries. It works by increasing blood flow, improving oxygen delivery to damaged tissues, and supporting cellular repair. This makes it an excellent option for athletes, active individuals, or anyone dealing with joint pain, muscle soreness, or minor strains.

Reduce inflammation

Chronic inflammation is linked to a variety of health issues, from joint pain to skin conditions. Red light therapy helps regulate inflammatory responses at a cellular level, making it useful for managing everything from arthritis to skin flare-ups. It can help ease discomfort and promote balance in overworked or inflamed areas, improving overall well-being with regular sessions. This is another excellent benefit for athletes and those with a vigorous workout regime, speeding up recovery and reducing the adverse effects of pushing themselves to the limit.

Mood and energy booster

Exposure to red and near-infrared light has been shown to support healthy mitochondrial function, which is the energy-producing centres of your cells. By improving cellular energy production, this therapy can help combat fatigue, boost mood, and support mental clarity. It’s an excellent option for those dealing with stress, low mood, or the effects of seasonal changes.

Better sleep quality

Regular red light therapy can help regulate your circadian rhythm by supporting the production of melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep-wake cycle. Many people find that incorporating red light therapy into their routine leads to deeper, more restful sleep and reduced sleep disturbances. It’s a natural, non-pharmaceutical way to help your body unwind and reset.

Pro tip
For a better recovery experience, pair your red light therapy session with an infrared sauna experience. The combined effects of heat and light therapy can amplify circulation, detoxification, and muscle repair. All this – while relaxing the body and mind! Just remember to stay well-hydrated before, during, and after your treatments.

How Does our Red Light Therapy in Redlands Work?

Red light therapy is sometimes confused with far-infrared saunas, but these two treatments are very different from one another. While both therapies use light waves, they affect the body in distinctly different ways. Far-infrared saunas rely on invisible wavelengths to penetrate into the body’s tissues, producing heat and stimulating the sweat glands, while red light therapy uses no heat at all. Instead of heating the body, these specific wavelengths penetrate the skin and are absorbed directly by the cells.

Stressed or oxygen-deprived cells often struggle to produce adequate energy, as free radicals like mitochondrial nitric oxide (mNO) can block oxygen from binding where it’s needed. When red and near-infrared light photons interact with these cells, they help displace mNO, restoring the cell’s ability to absorb oxygen and efficiently generate ATP through the Electron Transport Chain. This is an essential process that powers cellular repair, recovery, and overall function.

Red Light Therapy FAQs

Red light therapy is generally considered safe and well-tolerated for all skin types. It’s non-invasive, painless, and free from harmful UV rays, so there’s no risk of burns or skin damage, and no downtime is required after a session. That said, if you have a photosensitive condition or take medications that increase your sensitivity to light, it’s wise to check with your healthcare professional before starting.
This depends largely on you and your body. While some people notice immediate improvements in skin tone, mood, or muscle recovery, most benefits are most noticeable over time. For skin rejuvenation and chronic pain relief, a series of 8 to 12 sessions over several weeks is typically recommended, followed by regular maintenance treatments to keep your results boosted.
We recommend wearing minimal clothing or undressing to expose the treatment areas for best results. Protective eyewear is provided to shield your eyes from the bright light. There’s no need for lotions or skincare products before your session, as clean and dry skin allows the light to penetrate most effectively.
