Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a therapy that uses red and near-infrared light to promote healing and reduce pain. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells, boosting their energy production to help repair tissue and reduce inflammation.
FAQ
Everything you need to know before your first session.
What Is Photobiomodulation (PBM), And How Does It Work?
Is It Safe?
Yes. Red light therapy has been studied for over 20 years, with 7,000 clinical trials, 500 of them in humans. Talk with a healthcare professional about possible contraindications before you begin.
Do You Accept Insurance?
Unfortunately we do not, but we do accept HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) payments.
What Is The Difference Between Full-Body And Localized Treatment?
Full-body treatment targets overall wellness and circulation. Localized treatment uses smaller devices on specific areas, such as joint pain, muscle soreness or skin conditions.
Why Choose Professional Red Light Therapy Over At-Home Devices?
Professional units deliver higher-intensity light with optimized wavelengths, come with trained staff and standardized protocols, and include safety features for a complete treatment.
What Does It Treat?
Muscle pain, joint disorders, wound healing, PTSD, skin conditions and macular degeneration, among others.
What Equipment Do You Use?
We use the industry-leading Thor product line and ReGen products. Both companies' equipment has FDA approval.
Is It The Same As UV Light?
No. Red light therapy uses different wavelengths and benefits the skin, while UV light is used for germicidal purposes.
How Long Does A Session Last?
A session typically lasts 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the area treated and the device used. Three sessions a week is recommended.
How Long Before I See Results?
Results vary by person and condition. Some people notice changes after a few sessions, while others need more consistent therapy.
What Should I Wear?
For a full-body pod session, remove all clothing for the best light penetration. Undergarments or a bikini are fine. For injury rehabilitation, only the treated area needs to be bare. Do not wear sunscreen or makeup with SPF.
How Do I Prepare For A Pod Session?
Arrive 5 minutes early. Remove all jewelry (or cover it with a bandage) and eyeglasses, put up dyed hair, make sure your hair is dry, and avoid SPF products.
Who Should Not Use Red Light Therapy?
Do not use it if you have active cancer, are wearing SPF or makeup with SPF, are pregnant, are extremely sensitive to bright light, or take medication that causes photosensitivity.
