4 deliverables in this treatment
- ~20-minute red and near-infrared LED session
- Full-body light exposure
- Protective eye shields provided
- No downtime required
A 20-minute session under LED panels delivering red and near-infrared wavelengths in the 630 to 850 nanometre range. The light energy penetrates skin and tissue to interact with mitochondria, supporting adenosine triphosphate production — the energy currency of cells. This process, known as photobiomodulation, is associated with reduced inflammation, accelerated tissue repair, improved skin tone, and enhanced cellular energy. The treatment is non-invasive, painless, and requires no recovery time.
About this treatment
Red light therapy at Recovery Hub uses LED panels emitting wavelengths in the red (630 to 660 nanometre) and near-infrared (810 to 850 nanometre) spectrum. Red light penetrates the skin to a depth of roughly 8 to 10 millimetres, primarily benefiting the dermis where collagen production occurs. Near-infrared light reaches deeper into muscle, tendon, and joint tissue, making it relevant for recovery and inflammation management.
The biological mechanism — photobiomodulation — involves photons being absorbed by chromophores in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, particularly cytochrome c oxidase. This interaction increases the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that cells use as their primary energy source. With more ATP available, cells can perform repair functions more efficiently, reduce oxidative stress, and maintain healthier signalling pathways.
No ultraviolet light is emitted during the session, so there is no tanning, burning, or DNA-damage risk. The experience is passive and comfortable — clients typically lie or sit in front of the LED panels wearing minimal clothing for maximum light absorption. Protective eye shields are provided to guard against bright light exposure.
Good to know

Who is this for?
Anyone seeking skin rejuvenation or collagen support, athletes managing muscle soreness, people with chronic joint inflammation, those interested in anti-ageing protocols, and clients looking for a recovery complement to cryotherapy
Preparation required
Remove jewellery and clothing over treatment areas for maximum light absorption. Clean, dry skin absorbs light most effectively — avoid applying lotions or sunscreen beforehand. Eye shields are provided.
