The Red Light Therapy Experience

Red Light Therapy is a painless and relaxing service that takes 10 minutes. During your session, you’ll be in a private room with red light panels you’ll stand between. A trained expert will go over any questions you might have, turn on the Red Light Therapy machine and then leave to give you privacy. Clients usually remove their clothes to allow their skin to soak up the maximum amount of light during their session. 

During your session, you’ll feel a mild warmth coming from the lights. We recommend that clients do not look directly at the lights during their session. If your eyes are sensitive to light, you can choose to wear your own sunglasses or use the goggles we provide. Whether or not your eyes are not sensitive to the light, we encourage clients to close their eyes, relax and soak up the glow!

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

Red Light Therapy uses low levels of red and near-infrared light to help power your cells and promote healing and energy. The low wavelength produced by our Red Light Therapy machines can be absorbed by the mitochondria in your body, which are responsible for many important processes in your day-to-day health, healing abilities and energy production. This relaxing service may help the body promote healing, boost energy levels, relieve minor pain and swelling and balance your mood—all in as little as 10 minutes per day.

FAQ

Is Red Light Therapy safe?

Show answer

Yes. Red Light Therapy uses very low levels of heat that do not hurt or burn the skin. Unlike tanning booths, Red Light Therapy won’t expose skin to damaging UV rays. Like other therapies at Restore, this therapy can be an effective tool when used consistently with professional equipment and expert guidance.

What are the before and after Red Light Therapy benefits?

Show answer

Red Light Therapy has been shown to be beneficial for improved energy, sleep, bone recovery, pain reduction and inflammation. As more studies are published, newer applications for its intended use continue to arise. Just a few years ago, the benefits of red and near-infrared light were shown to influence the gut microbiome and increase collagen production. And now, Red Light Therapy has been linked to eye health in those 40 and older. Other studies show that Red Light Therapy may benefit the face and skin by increasing collagen production, circulation and cell damage. This therapy may also help rejuvenate the skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving facial texture. In addition to skin health such as improving acne, Red Light Therapy can also improve wound healing. When it comes to hair growth and alopecia, a small study showed participants who were exposed to red light saw improved hair density than those participants who did not receive Red Light Therapy.

Are there any potential side effects of Red Light Therapy?

Show answer

There are a few risks associated with Red Light Therapy. Typically, negative side effects (which are rare) are due to misuse of at-home products or prolonged exposure to Red Light Therapy which can cause tissue and cell damage and burns to the skin. It’s vital to follow directions when using Red Light Therapy and talk to your doctor to discuss the potential benefits and side effects before starting treatment.

Is Red Light Therapy covered by insurance?

Show answer

While some dermatology visits are covered by insurance, unfortunately, Red Light Therapy at Restore is not covered by insurance companies at this time.
