Medical-Grade Red Light Therapy & Photobiomodulation
Mitochondrial Support, Pain Relief, Skin Rejuvenation & Cellular Healing
Red light and photobiomodulation therapy for mitochondrial support and healing in Denver.
Red Light Therapy—also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM)—is one of the most researched, clinically validated, and non-invasive therapies for improving cellular energy, reducing inflammation, and supporting whole-body healing.
Using precise wavelengths of red and near-infrared (NIR) light, PBM directly stimulates the mitochondria—your cellular “powerhouses”—to increase ATP, the energy your body requires to repair, regenerate, and function optimally.
Unlike heat-based therapies, PBM works at the cellular and mitochondrial level, making it safe, gentle, and highly effective for a wide range of clinical and cosmetic applications.
How Red Light Therapy Works
Red and near-infrared wavelengths penetrate deep into tissues, where they:
Increase ATP (cellular energy production)
Restores metabolic efficiency, improves stamina, and accelerates tissue recovery.
Reduce inflammation
Modulates oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokine signaling.
Improve circulation & oxygen delivery
Enhances nutrient flow and speeds cellular repair.
Boost collagen & elastin
Supports skin rejuvenation, elasticity, and wound healing.
Enhance mitochondrial efficiency
Supports longevity, cognitive performance, and cellular resilience.
Improve mood, sleep & circadian rhythms
Positively influences melatonin production, cortisol regulation, and neurotransmitter balance.

Beyond Red Light: Targeted Wavelengths for Specific Healing Needs
While red and near-infrared light remain the gold standard for mitochondrial repair, inflammation reduction, and tissue healing, not every patient responds best to the same wavelength.
Rather than using all light therapies simultaneously, we strategically select the single wavelength—or carefully paired wavelengths—most appropriate for your biology, sensitivity level, and clinical goals.
This personalized approach allows targeted support for:
• Pain and inflammation
• Mitochondrial dysfunction
• Nervous system dysregulation
• Skin health and recovery
• Detoxification and lymphatic support
• Migraine and sensory hypersensitivity
When clinically indicated, we may incorporate Yellow Light Therapy or Green Light Therapy during separate or sequential sessions for enhanced results.
