Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that penetrate your skin and underlying tissues. These wavelengths stimulate cellular activity, increase blood flow and mitochondrial energy production, which can support skin renewal, reduce inflammation and aid recovery.

You’ll lie down (fully or partially) on the red light therapy mat in a comfortable, relaxed environment. The mat’s LEDs will be switched on for a set time. You will feel a gentle heat (or very little), the effect is light energy, not like a hot sauna. The therapist will guide you how to position yourself and ensure you’re comfortable.

Common reported benefits include:

• Skin rejuvenation: smoother skin texture, firmer skin, reduction in fine lines.

• Reduced inflammation and pain relief: aiding muscle recovery, easing sore joints or aches.

• General wellness: improved circulation, better tissue repair and support for recovery.

Please note: while evidence is promising, red light therapy is not a guaranteed cure-all and results vary.

For best effect, we recommend a series of sessions rather than a single visit. Typical patterns might include 2 sessions per week for several weeks, then moving to a maintenance schedule of 1 session per week or as needed. Each session is around 20 minutes. We will tailor a schedule for you based on your goals.

Yes, red light therapy is generally considered safe when used correctly

 However, a few precautions:

• If you are on medications or have a condition that increases light sensitivity (photosensitivity) you should consult your doctor first.

• Avoid direct intense exposure to eyes — appropriate positioning and protection will be provided.

• While rare, overuse can cause mild skin irritation, redness or discomfort.
  

We will review your health details at your first session to ensure it is a good fit for you.

Beneficial for many adults seeking skin-improvement, relief from chronic aches, improved recovery, or general wellness.
People who should consult their medical provider before attending include:

• Pregnant women

• Individuals with photosensitive conditions or on medication that increases light sensitivity.

• If you have an active skin cancer, extreme skin disorders or open wounds in the area to be treated, check with your practitioner or doctor.

• Wear comfortable, minimal clothing so the mat’s light can reach skin (or at least the treatment area).

• Remove any topical creams that might block light if you’re focusing on a skin area.

• Hydrate well before and after.

• Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning before or immediately after session until you know how your skin responds.

• After the session, allow your skin to rest; you may resume normal activity.
  We will provide specific pre- and post-session instructions when you book.

Some people feel relaxed and improved circulation immediately after a session. For visible skin changes, pain relief or improved recovery, it often takes multiple sessions - many clients begin to notice changes after 3-4 weeks of regular use. Consistency is key.
We’ll review progress with you and adjust your session plan as needed.

Can I combine red light therapy with salt therapYes, one of the advantages of working with us is that we can tailor a combined wellness plan. For instance, pairing a red light mat session with your salt therapy session could enhance relaxation and overall benefit. We’ll discuss best sequencing (e.g., mat first then salt, or vice versa) during your consultation.

Wear something comfortable. Ideally clothing that allows exposure of the area being treated. If you’re lying full-body on the mat, simple shorts and a fitted top work well. Bring a water bottle optionally. We’ll provide towels or covers if needed.

If you wear a watch, jewellery or metallic accessories, you may be asked to remove them to avoid any interference with the light mat.
