Red Light Therapy

A whole-body red light therapy session delivering therapeutic red and near-infrared wavelengths. The light penetrates skin and underlying tissue to support cellular energy production, collagen synthesis, and localised recovery. Non-invasive and comfortable with no downtime required.

The whole-body red light therapy session at Tsavo Wellness exposes the body to therapeutic wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. Red light in the 630 to 660 nanometre range targets the upper skin layers, stimulating fibroblast activity and collagen production. 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 production and reducing oxidative stress. This photobiomodulation cascade may support tissue repair, lower localised inflammation, and improve skin tone and texture over time. The process is passive and painless — clients simply position themselves near the panels and relax. Regular users often notice improvements in skin clarity and firmness, reduced post-exercise soreness in treated areas, and faster resolution of minor blemishes. The therapy emits no ultraviolet wavelengths, so there is no risk of tanning, sunburn, or UV-related damage. At Tsavo Wellness, red light therapy is frequently combined with other modalities. A popular protocol involves cryotherapy for systemic cold exposure followed by red light for targeted cellular support — the cold addresses inflammation while the light supports repair. The sauna can also precede red light therapy, with increased blood flow from the heat priming cells for light absorption. At $75 per session, red light therapy sits in the mid-range of Tsavo's pricing. Multi-packs bring the per-session cost down to approximately $65 for a 10-pack. The session requires no special preparation beyond removing lotions or sunscreen from treatment areas. Protective eye shields are provided.
