Red Light Therapy

A few warm, glowing minutes in front of our LED panels — used to support skin, muscle recovery, and circulation. Here's how it works.

What It Is

Low-level red & near-infrared light, no heat treatment required

Red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light delivered by LED panels. You sit or stand a short distance from the panels with the treatment area exposed, for a short session.

Unlike a tanning bed or sauna, there's no UV light and minimal heat — the panel simply bathes your skin in a warm red glow for the length of the session.

Our panels deliver seven wavelengths of red and near-infrared light — where most panels offer only two or three — for broader, more complete coverage.

Sessions are quick, relaxing, and easy to add onto a massage, salt booth, or foot bath visit.

Why People Try It

Reported benefits of red light therapy

Red light therapy is a complementary wellness service popular for recovery and skin-care goals. As with any treatment, results vary by person and consistency of use.

Skin support

Many guests use red light sessions to support a healthy skin appearance and an even, refreshed look over time.

Muscle recovery

Often paired with massage to support post-workout or post-massage muscle recovery and reduce that "worked over" soreness.

Circulation & energy

The warm, gentle light is often used to support local circulation and leaves many guests feeling recharged.

What To Expect

Your red light session, step by step

Get positioned

Sit or stand a short distance from the LED panels; protective eyewear is provided.

Expose treatment area

Relax for ~20 min

Sessions are short — typically about 20 minutes of warm, glowing light.

4

Good to know before you book

If you're pregnant, have a photosensitive skin condition, or take medication that increases light sensitivity, check with your physician and let your therapist know before your session. Eye protection is provided and should always be worn. Red light therapy is a complementary wellness service, not a medical treatment.

FAQ

Common red light therapy questions

Does it feel hot?

You'll feel a gentle, comfortable warmth — not the intense heat of a sauna or tanning bed.

Do I need to wear anything special?

Wear whatever's comfortable. If you're treating a specific area (like a shoulder or knee), you may expose that area during the session.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your goals — some guests come for a single recovery session, others build it into a regular weekly routine. We can help you plan a schedule.

Can I pair it with massage or the salt booth?

Yes, red light therapy is a popular add-on to massage, cupping, salt booth, or foot bath visits.
