Red Light & Near Infrared Light Therapy in Vancouver

Red light therapy (RLT) utilizes low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to enhance cellular energy, promote muscle recovery, provide pain relief, reduce inflammation, and support skin rejuvenation and tissue repair.

Near-infrared (NIR) light is a region of invisible electromagnetic radiation, with wavelengths ranging from approximately 700 to 1,400 nanometers, positioned just beyond the red end of the visible light spectrum. This near infrared light is known for its various benefits, including muscle recovery, pain relief, and skin rejuvenation.

A therapeutic light therapy system utilizes visible red light and near infrared light to promote muscle recovery and provide pain relief while effectively targeting both superficial and deep tissues for skin rejuvenation.

630 nm: A visible red light that interacts strongly with surface-level skin tissues, contributing to skin rejuvenation. 660 nm: A visible red light absorbed by cellular enzymes that supports surface recovery, boosts energy metabolism, and aids in muscle recovery and pain relief.

810 nm, 830 nm, and 850 nm are invisible near-infrared wavelengths that penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching muscles, tendons, and joints. This deep penetration aids in muscle recovery, provides pain relief, and promotes skin rejuvenation for enhanced musculoskeletal care.

What to expect? During a typical 20-minute session focused on muscle recovery, you’ll relax on a treatment bed for approximately 10 minutes facing down and 10 minutes facing up. We’ll guide you on how to position yourself before the session begins. Remember to follow the eye-protection instructions for our near infrared light equipment, and avoid staring directly into the lights for optimal pain relief and skin rejuvenation.
