MCS Infrared Light Therapy

A 30-minute session using a medical-grade MCS system that combines infrared and visible-light wavelengths to deliver photobiomodulation at the tissue level. The treatment targets cellular energy production by stimulating cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, which is associated with supporting collagen synthesis, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue repair. The session is non-invasive and requires no recovery time.

Cryodukt's MCS Infrared Light Therapy uses a medical-grade system that delivers both infrared and visible-light wavelengths simultaneously. The 30-minute session exposes the body to calibrated light energy at specific wavelengths known to penetrate skin and reach deeper tissue layers, where they interact with cellular structures involved in energy production and repair. The primary mechanism is photobiomodulation — the absorption of photon energy by cytochrome c oxidase, a key enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. When this enzyme absorbs light at the right wavelengths (typically in the red 630-670 nm and near-infrared 810-850 nm ranges), it may release nitric oxide and increase the efficiency of ATP production. More available ATP supports a range of downstream processes: collagen synthesis for skin health, modulation of inflammatory signalling, and accelerated tissue repair. The MCS system at Cryodukt is classified as medical-grade, meaning it delivers consistent, calibrated output at therapeutic intensities. Consumer-grade red light panels vary widely in power density and wavelength accuracy, which can affect whether sufficient photon energy reaches target tissues. The medical-grade designation indicates that the system meets standards for clinical use and delivers verified irradiance across its treatment area. During the session, clients stand or recline in front of the light system for 30 minutes. The treatment is entirely non-invasive — there is no heat discomfort, no UV exposure, and no recovery time required. Many clients incorporate infrared light therapy into a stacked session alongside cryotherapy or IHHT, taking advantage of Cryodukt's multi-modality setup. Regular red and near-infrared light exposure is associated with improvements in skin texture and tone, reduction in delayed-onset muscle soreness after exercise, joint comfort, and general feelings of wellbeing. Some research suggests benefits for sleep quality when sessions are timed appropriately. Cryodukt recommends two to three sessions per week as part of an ongoing wellness protocol, though frequency can be adjusted based on individual goals. The treatment is suitable for a wide range of clients, from athletes seeking recovery support to individuals interested in skin health or general vitality. No special preparation is needed beyond removing clothing from the treatment area to allow direct light exposure.
