What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses specific low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that penetrate the skin without heat damage or ultraviolet exposure. This light is absorbed by mitochondria, the energy-producing structures inside cells, which may support cellular energy and repair. A full-body bed surrounds you with light-emitting diode panels so the entire body receives even exposure at once.

Treatment at a Glance
Sessions are noninvasive, painless, and typically last 10 to 20 minutes. You lie in an enclosed bed while LED panels deliver light from above and below. Most people schedule a series of visits over several weeks, since consistency matters more than any single session.
Preparing for Your First Session
- Your Wellness Consultation
Before starting, your provider reviews your goals, health history, and lifestyle. This helps shape a session frequency that suits you and clarifies whether red light fits alongside any other treatments you are considering.
- Getting Your Skin Ready
Arrive with clean skin free of heavy lotions, makeup, or self-tanner, since these can block light from reaching the skin. Let your provider know about any medications or topical products that increase light sensitivity.
- What to Wear and Bring
Many clients undress to their comfort level so more skin is exposed to the light. Protective eyewear is provided, and you may want to remove jewelry before lying down.
What Happens During a Session
- Settling Into the Bed
You will lie comfortably on the lower panel while the upper canopy closes gently over you. The room stays private and quiet so you can fully relax.
- Light Delivery and Wavelengths
The panels emit red and near-infrared wavelengths across the full length of your body. You may notice a soft, gentle warmth, but the light does not burn or tan the skin.
- Relaxing Through the Session
Many clients use the time to breathe deeply, rest, or simply enjoy a quiet pause in the day. Keeping your eyewear on and staying still allows the light to reach your skin evenly.
- Finishing and Stepping Out
When the timer ends, the canopy opens and you can dress at your own pace. There is nothing to remove or rinse off before you leave.
Schedule Your Consultation
Returning to Your Day
There is no downtime after a red light session, so you can head back to work, the gym, or errands right away. Staying hydrated and keeping a consistent schedule of visits helps you get the most from your series.
When You May Notice Changes
Some people feel more relaxed or less sore soon after a session, while skin changes tend to appear gradually. Visible improvements in tone and texture are commonly reported after several weeks of regular sessions. Ongoing maintenance visits help sustain what you build.

Red Light Therapy Questions Answered
How often should I use the red light therapy bed?
Many people start with two to three sessions per week for several weeks. After that, a lighter maintenance schedule often works well, and your provider can tailor the frequency to your goals.
Is red light therapy the same as a tanning bed?
No. Red light therapy uses red and near-infrared wavelengths and contains no ultraviolet light, so it does not tan the skin.
How is red light therapy different from an infrared sauna?
An infrared sauna focuses on raising body temperature to promote sweating. A red light bed delivers specific wavelengths aimed at cellular activity without significant heat.
Does a red light session feel hot?
Most people feel only a mild, pleasant warmth during a session. The light is gentle, and you can relax comfortably throughout.
Can I combine red light with skin treatments?
Yes, red light is often scheduled as part of a broader Skin Rejuvenation plan. Your provider will advise on timing so each treatment complements the others.
