Request an AppointmentWhat Is Red Light and Infrared Therapy?
Red Light and Infrared Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of visible red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity deep within the body’s tissues.
Unlike ultraviolet (UV) light, these therapeutic wavelengths are safe for the skin and promote healing by increasing cellular energy production, improving circulation, and supporting natural tissue repair.
The treatment is comfortable, painless, and requires no downtime, making it an excellent option for patients seeking natural pain relief and faster recovery.
How Does Red Light and Infrared Therapy Work?
Every cell in your body relies on energy to repair and function properly. Red and infrared light penetrate the tissues and stimulate the mitochondria—the energy-producing centers of your cells—to generate more ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
This increased cellular energy helps support:
- Reduced inflammation
- Improved circulation
- Accelerated tissue healing
- Reduced muscle tension
- Decreased joint stiffness
- Natural pain relief
- Collagen production
- Faster recovery after physical activity
