Infrared LED Red Light Therapy

Full-body infrared LED red light therapy bed with customisable frequency settings at Next Health Bellevue. Red and near-infrared wavelengths deliver light energy to skin and subcutaneous tissue to support cellular recovery, collagen production, and mitochondrial function. Sessions run approximately 15–20 minutes. Available via NEXT|TECH membership credits at Lincoln Square North, Bellevue.

Next Health Bellevue's full-body infrared LED red light therapy bed delivers red (approximately 630–670 nm) and near-infrared (approximately 800–850 nm) light across the entire body surface in a single session, with customisable frequency settings that allow the treating team or client to adjust the emission pattern. Red and near-infrared light at these wavelengths penetrate tissue to varying depths — red light primarily affecting the dermis and superficial subcutaneous tissue, near-infrared reaching deeper into muscle, connective tissue, and potentially bone cortex — and are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, a photoacceptor molecule within the mitochondrial inner membrane. This photobiomodulation (PBM) effect is proposed to transiently increase mitochondrial electron transport chain efficiency, ATP production, and the cellular energy available for repair, regeneration, and inflammation resolution. At the skin level, red light exposure is associated with fibroblast stimulation and increased collagen and elastin synthesis, contributing to skin texture and tone improvement with regular use. Near-infrared light penetrating to deeper muscle tissue is used post-exercise to support myofibril repair and reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) by accelerating the inflammatory resolution phase. The full-body LED bed format at Next Health Bellevue ensures systemic exposure — both anterior and posterior body surfaces — in a 15–20 minute session, as opposed to targeted panel devices that treat one body region at a time. The customisable frequency modulation allows pulsing protocols to be applied, which some practitioners use to match biological oscillation frequencies for specific intended effects. Available through the NEXT|TECH credit system; the Optimize membership at $199/month includes 10 credits monthly that can be used across red light, cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and infrared sauna services.
