Red Light Therapy

The red light therapy session at Rekoop Flex 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.

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.

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 should be worn throughout the session.
