Red Light Therapy is closely related to laser therapy, but typically uses LED panels or lamps that emit red and near-infrared light. At Body Renewal Health Centre, our Red Light Therapy involves exposing an area of the body (or even your full body, if using a larger panel) to these low-level lights for a short period (usually 15-20 minutes). The red light penetrates into the skin and tissues, encouraging cellular energy production (mitochondrial activity) and blood circulation, which in turn can reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Red Light Therapy is painless, relaxing, and does not involve needles or touching – you simply sit or lie near the light source. It’s a great option for:
At our clinic, Red Light Therapy can be done on its own or added to another treatment (for example, after a massage, you might spend 15 minutes under a red light panel to further relax muscles and enhance the treatment effects).

Because it’s such a gentle therapy, there’s no down-time or side effects – you can go right back to your day afterward. It’s a safe add-on that many patients enjoy as part of their wellness routine.
