Red Light Therapy

A 10-to-20-minute session using a dual-panel red and near-infrared light therapy system delivering wavelengths in the 630 to 850 nanometre range. These wavelengths penetrate the skin to reach mitochondria, where they may stimulate cytochrome c oxidase activity and support cellular energy (ATP) production. Red light therapy is associated with improved skin health, reduced inflammation, faster tissue recovery, and enhanced collagen synthesis.

AYUN's red light therapy sessions use a dual-panel photobiomodulation system delivering red (approximately 630 nanometres) and near-infrared (approximately 850 nanometres) wavelengths. Each session lasts 10 to 20 minutes, during which clients stand or sit in front of the panels at close range to maximise light absorption. The biological mechanism centres on photon absorption by cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. When red and near-infrared photons reach this enzyme, they may enhance its activity and support increased production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cellular energy currency. This process is thought to support a range of downstream effects including improved cellular repair, reduced oxidative stress, and modulation of inflammatory signalling. Research has explored red light therapy for applications across dermatology, sports medicine, and general wellness. Studies suggest potential benefits for skin texture and collagen density, wound healing speed, joint pain and stiffness, muscle recovery after exercise, and mood regulation through effects on circadian biology. While individual responses vary, the modality has a strong safety profile with no UV exposure and minimal risk of adverse effects. AYUN positions red light therapy as a complement to its other recovery modalities. Many clients combine a red light session with cryotherapy — cold exposure followed by photobiomodulation — as a stacked protocol targeting inflammation from multiple angles. Sessions are available as single visits at CHF 55 or through multi-session packs. The unlimited membership from CHF 249 per month includes red light therapy alongside cryotherapy and contrast therapy, making it accessible for clients who want to build regular photobiomodulation into their weekly routine. No special preparation is required. Clients are advised to expose as much skin as possible during the session to maximise light absorption. Eye protection is provided when needed. The walk-in format allows sessions throughout operating hours without a mandatory appointment.
