Red Light Therapy

A 20-minute red light therapy session using red and near-infrared wavelengths to support cellular energy production, collagen synthesis, and tissue recovery. Non-invasive, comfortable, and suitable for all skin types.

Recoverie's red light therapy session delivers therapeutic wavelengths of red and near-infrared light across the body for approximately 20 minutes. Red light in the 630 to 660 nanometre range primarily reaches the upper layers of skin where it stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen production, while near-infrared wavelengths at 810 to 850 nanometres penetrate deeper into muscle, tendon, and joint tissue to support cellular repair processes. At the cellular level, these photons are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase within the mitochondria, boosting adenosine triphosphate output and reducing oxidative stress. This cascade may support tissue repair, lower localised inflammation, and promote skin health over time. The process is entirely passive and painless — clients simply position themselves near the panels and relax for the duration of the session. Regular users often notice improvements in skin tone and texture, faster resolution of minor blemishes, and reduced post-exercise soreness in treated areas. The therapy emits no ultraviolet wavelengths, so there is no risk of tanning, sunburn, or UV-related skin damage. Protective eye shields are worn throughout the session to prevent direct light exposure to the eyes. At Recoverie, red light therapy pairs naturally with the other recovery modalities on offer. A common stacking protocol is cryotherapy for systemic cold exposure followed by red light for targeted cellular support — the cold addresses inflammation while the light supports repair and regeneration. The 20-minute session length keeps total visit time manageable when combining treatments. No special preparation is needed beyond removing lotions or sunscreen from the treatment areas so the light reaches the skin without obstruction. The session is suitable for all skin types and requires no recovery time afterwards.
