What red light therapy is
Red light therapy is also called photobiomodulation or low level light therapy. It uses specific wavelengths of visible red light, roughly 630 to 670 nanometers, and near infrared light, roughly 810 to 850 nanometers. Cells absorb this light, and research suggests it can influence cellular energy production, inflammation and blood flow.
Low level means the light is not strong enough to burn or damage tissue. Most people feel nothing more than gentle warmth. It is not a tanning bed and it does not use ultraviolet light.
How it may help
Many low level light devices are cleared by the FDA for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and to promote muscle relaxation and local circulation. Evidence for other uses is still developing, and results vary from person to person. Your provider tells you about the device used at your clinic and what it is cleared for.
- Temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches and stiffness
- Support for local circulation in the treated area
- Relaxation of muscles after activity
- Comfort during recovery from workouts, overuse or injury
- Skin support: infrared low level light is used to support collagen production and a firmer, smoother look in aging, sagging skin
What a session is like
- 1
Your provider reviews your goals and medications and chooses the area to treat.
- 2
You relax while panels or pads deliver red and near infrared light to the area.
Protective eyewear may be used.
- 3
Most sessions are short, often 10 to 20 minutes depending on the area and the device.
- 4
You return to your day right away.
Many plans use a series of sessions over several weeks, and your provider sets the schedule with you.
Who it may suit
- People with ongoing joint stiffness or muscle soreness who want a gentle, low impact option
- Active people who want help with comfort and recovery after activity
- Patients who want a supportive therapy beside injections or physical therapy
- Anyone interested in a noninvasive way to support skin firmness
- People who cannot or do not want to take more medication
Safety, and who should check with us first
Red light therapy is generally well tolerated. Side effects are uncommon and mild, such as temporary warmth or redness. Tell us if you take medicines that make your skin sensitive to light, have a history of skin cancer or cancer in the area, are pregnant, or have a condition that affects light sensitivity, so we can decide whether it is appropriate for you. Protect your eyes during treatment.
What it pairs well with
Light therapy works best as one part of a plan. Your provider may suggest combining it with other services.

- The hyaluronic acid based Nonsurgical Knee Pain Protocol

- Provider supervised weight loss, where infrared light therapy is offered as an add on
- Physical therapy and activity guidance
