Red Light Therapy is nontoxic and noninvasive. Unlike tanning beds, RLT does not use cancer-causing ultraviolet (UV) light. Since it is an emerging therapy, there is no long term data yet, but it has been shown to be safe with short term use. There is a risk that your eyes could be damaged if you do not use eye protection, but we will provide goggles to protect you during treatment. We also have goggles for purchase.

Red light therapy is an emerging treatment that is still being studied. Many studies show promising results, especially for skin related issues like wrinkles, scars, and acne, but more research is needed to fully prove its effectiveness. Anecdotes and preliminary evidence have suggested RLT’s applicability to a wide range of ailments. Read more about the science at these sources:

Tanning beds use ultraviolet (UV) light, which can cause cancer, just like the sun. RLT does not use UV light; it uses red and near infrared light to penetrate the mitochondria of cells increasing ATP.

We are currently not set up to accept insurance. Most HSA/FSA plans can be used for this therapy. Please check with the institution where your HSA/FSA account is held.

No, but it is always a good idea to consult your doctor for the best course of treatment.
