Red Light Therapy—also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM)—is one of the most researched, clinically validated, and non-invasive therapies for improving cellular energy and supporting whole-body healing.

Using precise wavelengths of red and near-infrared (NIR) light, PBM stimulates the mitochondria—your cellular “powerhouses”—to increase ATP, the energy your body needs to repair, regenerate, and function optimally.

Unlike heat-based treatments, PBM works at the cellular and mitochondrial level, making it safe, gentle, and highly effective for a wide range of symptoms and conditions.


How Red Light Therapy Works

Red and near-infrared wavelengths penetrate deep into tissues, where they:

Increase ATP (cellular energy production)

Restores metabolic function, improves stamina, and accelerates tissue recovery.

Reduce inflammation

Modulates oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines.

Improve circulation & oxygen delivery

Enhances nutrient flow and speeds healing.

Boost collagen & elastin

Supports skin rejuvenation, elasticity, and repair.

Enhance mitochondrial efficiency

Supports longevity, brain function, and resilience.

Improve mood, sleep & circadian rhythms

NIR light positively influences melatonin production, cortisol regulation, and neurotransmitter balance.

Bioenergetic & Nervous System Therapies

Why We Use Medical-Grade Red Light Therapy

Not all devices are equal.
Our clinical-grade PBM systems deliver:

  • Therapeutic red (630–660 nm) + near-infrared (810–850 nm) wavelengths

  • Correct irradiance levels for optimal tissue penetration

  • Superior mitochondrial activation

  • Short, effective treatment times

  • Safe, non-UV, non-ionizing wavelengths

This ensures your sessions are both safe and maximally effective.


Beyond Red Light: Targeted Wavelengths for Specific Healing Needs

While Red and Near-Infrared (NIR) Light Therapy remain the gold standard for mitochondrial repair, tissue healing, and inflammation reduction, not every patient or condition responds best to the same wavelength.

Instead of using all light therapies at once, we select the single wavelength—or combination of two—that is most appropriate for your biology, sensitivity level, and clinical goals.

Each wavelength penetrates tissue differently and activates unique cellular pathways.

This allows us to tailor every session for:

  • pain and inflammation

  • mitochondrial dysfunction

  • nervous system dysregulation

  • skin health

  • detox and lymphatic support

  • migraine or sensory hypersensitivity

After determining what your body needs, we may incorporate Yellow Light Therapy or Green Light Therapy during separate or sequential sessions for more targeted results.

Yellow Light Therapy (570–590 nm)

Calm Inflammation, Support Lymphatic Flow & Soothe Sensitive Skin

Yellow Light Therapy is one of the gentlest and most anti-inflammatory wavelengths, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive, reactive, or inflamed skin and nervous system imbalance.

Yellow wavelengths penetrate shallow tissue layers and support:

  • Reduced redness and inflammation

  • Rosacea and flushing

  • Sensitive or irritated skin

  • Lymphatic drainage and detox support

  • Post-procedure healing

  • Nervous system calming

Yellow light also positively influences the circadian rhythm, supporting sleep, mood regulation, and parasympathetic balance.
This wavelength is an excellent option for patients who are sensitive to stimulation, including those with mold toxicity, chronic illness, or neuroimmune dysregulation.

Green Light Therapy (520–560 nm)

Reduce Migraines, Pain Sensitivity & Nervous System Overload

Green Light Therapy is clinically shown to reduce migraine frequency and severity, decrease photophobia, and calm nervous system hypersensitivity.

It supports:

  • Migraine relief

  • Light sensitivity

  • Pain reduction

  • Anxiety & stress reactivity

  • Sensory overload

  • Neurological inflammation

  • Pigmentation (melasma, sun damage)

Green light is especially helpful for:

  • Mold-related neurological symptoms

  • Long COVID

  • Dysautonomia / POTS

  • PTSD

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Highly sensitive or easily overstimulated patients

What to Expect During Treatment

  • Sessions last 10–20 minutes

  • You’ll relax under a medical-grade light panel or target-specific device

  • Therapy is painless and non-invasive

  • Most patients feel relaxation, warmth, or improved mood immediately

  • Benefits accumulate with consistent treatments


Who Is PBM Ideal For?

  • Athletes or active individuals

  • Patients with inflammation or chronic pain

  • Individuals with fatigue, mitochondrial issues, or toxic load

  • Patients with skin concerns or anti-aging goals

  • Anyone wanting a natural way to enhance healing and resilience

It is also safe for sensitive patients and can be combined with:

  • Acupuncture

  • PEMF

  • Ozone therapy

  • Functional medicine protocols

  • Detoxification programs


Enhance Your Healing with Red Light Therapy

Red, Yellow, and Green Light Therapy offer powerful, non-invasive tools to restore mitochondrial function, calm the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and support deep cellular repair.

Whether you're recovering from injury, addressing chronic symptoms, or optimizing long-term vitality, PBM is a deeply restorative addition to your care plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does Red Light Therapy differ from infrared saunas?

Infrared saunas heat the body to promote detoxification, while PBM targets mitochondria directly to increase ATP, reduce inflammation, and support tissue repair—without heat.


2. Is Red Light Therapy safe?

Yes. PBM uses non-ionizing, non-UV wavelengths that are well-studied and safe for long-term use.


3. How many sessions do I need?

Most patients feel benefits within 4–8 sessions, though chronic or long-standing issues may require ongoing support.


4. Can Red Light Therapy help with fatigue or mitochondrial dysfunction?

Absolutely. It is one of the most effective non-drug therapies for increasing mitochondrial energy production.


5. Does Red Light Therapy help with skin rejuvenation?

Yes — it increases collagen and elastin, reduces inflammation, improves tone and texture, and supports wound healing.


6. Do you offer Red Light Therapy as part of a larger functional medicine plan?

Yes. PBM is often combined with metabolic, detox, and mitochondrial protocols for enhanced outcomes.


7. Does green light therapy help with migraines?

Yes. Research shows green wavelengths can reduce migraine frequency and severity by modulating pain pathways, decreasing photophobia, and calming sensory processing.


8. Is yellow light therapy safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Yellow light is one of the gentlest wavelengths and is ideal for rosacea, redness, inflammation, and post-procedure healing.
