Red Light Therapy: What It Is & Why People Use It
Red light therapy has become a popular wellness service for people looking to support recovery, relaxation, and overall well-being. At our wellness center, we offer full-body red light therapy using a dedicated red light bed, allowing you to comfortably experience light exposure from head to toe in a calm, controlled setting.
This page explains what red light therapy is, how a full-body bed works, and why many people choose to include it in their wellness routines.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy—sometimes referred to as photobiomodulation—involves exposing the body to specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths are non-UV and are commonly used in wellness and recovery environments.
Rather than heating the body like a sauna, red light therapy delivers light energy while you rest comfortably, making it a passive and relaxing experience.
How a Full-Body Red Light Bed Session Works
During a red light therapy session:
- You lie down comfortably in a full-body red light bed
- The lights activate above and below you for even exposure
- You simply relax while the session runs
- Sessions are typically short and easy to fit into your day
The experience is quiet, non-invasive, and designed to feel calming rather than intense.
Why People Use Red Light Therapy
Individual experiences vary, but red light therapy is commonly included in wellness routines to support:
- Recovery after physical activity
- General relaxation and stress reduction
- A sense of improved energy and vitality
- Skin-focused wellness routines
- Overall recovery and self-care practices
Many people combine red light therapy with other services such as sauna, cold plunge, or massage for a more complete recovery experience.
What Red Light Therapy Is Not
To keep expectations clear:
- Red light therapy is not a medical treatment
- It does not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions
- It is not a substitute for medical care
If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, have light sensitivity, or use photosensitizing medications, you should consult with your healthcare provider before using red light therapy.
Is Red Light Therapy Right for You?
Red light therapy is often chosen because it is gentle, time-efficient, and easy to incorporate into a wellness routine. Whether your goal is relaxation, recovery, or general well-being, a full-body red light bed offers a simple and comfortable way to support those goals.
Our team is happy to explain what a session looks like and answer general questions so you can decide if it fits your wellness approach.
