Recharge your body from the inside out with Red Light Therapy—deep-penetrating light that energizes cells, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing across skin, muscle, and joints.
What is
Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular function, accelerate healing, and reduce inflammation.
When you lie in a Red Light Therapy bed, light penetrates deep into your skin and tissues. These wavelengths interact with your mitochondria—your cells’ power plants—helping them produce more ATP (energy), reduce oxidative stress, and improve circulation. The result? Faster recovery, less pain, improved skin health, better sleep, and greater overall vitality.
Originally used in medical and NASA applications, Red Light Therapy is now widely adopted for wellness, recovery, and performance across sports, dermatology, and integrative health.
How Does
Red Light Therapy
Work?
Red Light Therapy works through a cellular process called photobiomodulation (PBM)—where specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light stimulate healing, repair, and energy production at the mitochondrial level.
When red light enters your body, it’s absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme in your cells’ mitochondria. This light absorption:
- Boosts ATP production, giving your cells more energy to repair and regenerate
- Releases nitric oxide, improving blood flow and circulation to injured or inflamed areas
- Modulates reactive oxygen species (ROS), balancing oxidative stress and reducing inflammation
- Activates anti-inflammatory pathways, decreasing pain and swelling
Broad-spectrum devices, like the full-body RLT beds used at OutRecover, emit a range of therapeutic wavelengths—from superficial to deep-penetrating—to engage healing across multiple tissue layers, from skin to joints to muscle.
At OutRecover, our clients use RLT beds to support recovery, reduce inflammation, and optimize performance. It’s especially helpful if you’re:
- Recovering from surgery, injuries or overuse
- Dealing with joint, tendon, or muscle pain
- Managing chronic inflammation, swelling, or neuropathy
- Recovering from workouts or training cycles
- Looking to improve sleep, circulation, or mood
Whether you’re an athlete recovering from a tough session, a patient healing from surgery, or someone seeking deeper, more restful sleep—RLT supports recovery at the cellular level.
- A typical session lasts 15–20 minutes
- Red Light Therapy is painless, non-invasive, and deeply relaxing
- You may feel gentle warmth or tingling as your cells absorb the light
- Benefits accumulate with consistency—most clients see results over time
Red Light Therapy is generally considered very safe, but it may not be appropriate for everyone. Speak with your provider before starting RLT if you:
- Are pregnant
- Have a known photosensitivity or take light-sensitizing medications
- Have active cancer or tumors
- Are recovering from eye surgery or have unmanaged retinal conditions
