What is Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy also referred to as Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT)—uses specific wavelengths of red and near infrared wavelengths to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This light is absorbed at the cellular level, encouraging increased energy production and blood flow while reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.

Through this process, red light therapy promotes healing and cellular repair by making cells more efficient at repairing damage, producing energy, and removing toxins. It does not generate heat, and it does not damage the skin, making it a safe and relaxing recovery option suitable for daily or weekly use. Red light therapy is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for certain conditions, offering therapeutic benefits without the risks or recovery time associated with surgical procedures.

At our studio, red light therapy is part of our commitment to offering intelligent, science-backed recovery that fits into your life. It can stimulate collagen production, supporting skin health and skin rejuvenation by reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and improving overall skin texture. Whether you’re focused on fitness, stress management, or chronic condition support, this service offers a meaningful addition to your wellness routine.
 

The Science Behind Red Light Therapy

At the core of red light therapy is Photobiomodulation, a process that relies on specific wavelengths of light to activate biological change at the cellular level. Our studio uses the TheraLight FIT system, delivering four therapeutic wavelengths—633nm, 810nm, 850nm, and 940nm. These penetrate the body to varying depths, targeting everything from surface tissue to deeper muscular structures.

How it works:

• The red and near-infrared light is absorbed by mitochondria in the cells.
• This leads to increased ATP production, which boosts the cell’s energy capacity.
• More energy means faster healing, greater metabolic function, and better inflammation management, especially in muscles and joints.
• As blood flow improves, more oxygen and nutrients are delivered quickly and more effectively to areas that need repair, supporting tissue healing and muscle recovery.

Biological effects supported by studies include:

• Increased collagen production for skin and joint health
• Reduced levels of inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein, leading to less inflammation in joints
• Enhanced regeneration of nerve and muscle tissue, promoting muscle recovery and pain relief
• Better hormonal regulation and circadian rhythm support

TheraLight FIT is FDA-registered as both a Class I and Class II device. This technology is recognized for both therapeutic and cosmetic use cases, adding to its versatility in addressing varied client goals—from sports recovery and pain relief to skin revitalization.

What to Expect

To start your red light therapy session, you will be guided to position yourself comfortably in the TheraLight FIT bed, ensuring the treatment area is at the correct distance from the light. The RCVRI team will help select the appropriate duration and make sure you are prepared before beginning.

Red light therapy sessions at our studio are conducted in a private, quiet setting using the TheraLight FIT bed. The session is passive—you simply lie back and let the light work.

Each session lasts 20 minutes, with optional consultation time before and after for first-time clients. During your session, you can expect:

• Warm, ambient lighting from the TheraLight FIT bed
• A quiet space for rest and restoration
• Gentle, non-contact light application
• No downtime or side effects post-session

We recommend consistent visits for cumulative benefits, and clients can easily combine red light therapy with other services like sauna or compression.
