RedLight Bed Therapy
What is RedLight Therapy
Infrared light is the invisible part of natural sunlight.
Although it is actually light, it is experienced as soothing, warm radiant heat (and sometimes referred to as infrared heat).
RedLight Therapy is completely safe and healthy for all living things. One can be exposed to infrared light for hours without the risk of burning. Although infrared light is a naturally occurring wavelength of the sun, it does not contain the harmful UV rays associated with unprotected sunlight. In fact, infrared is so safe that it is used in hospitals to warm newborn infants.
Infrared light can penetrate human tissue up to 2 inches and is therapeutic because it can be absorbed by our body and safely raise core body temperatures. Your core body temperature increases over 3 degrees (to over 102 degrees) after each 40-minute session. This self-induced “fever” (as we call it) results in a healthy, deep, and detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where most toxins reside.
Our skin is the largest organ in the human body, and sweating, the body’s internal cooling system is the most natural and effective way to detoxify. In addition, infrared light therapy promotes excellent cardiovascular conditioning and weight loss. It increases your heart rate by 50-75%, which burns real calories.
Extensive research has been conducted on the therapeutic benefits of infrared radiant heat in the last 35 years. In addition, methods to induce fevers and sweating have been used for centuries to improve health and relief from disease.
Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation and low level light therapy, uses red low-level wavelengths of light for a variety of health and wellness benefits.
RedLight is considered “low level” because it works at an energy density that’s low compared to other forms of laser therapies. In the early 1990s, RedLight Therapy was used by scientists to help grow plants in space. They found that the intense light from red LEDs promoted the growth and photosynthesis of plant cells.
RedLight was then studied for its ability to increase energy inside human cells. The human body needs to make ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) and cellular energy to function and survive. This occurs naturally when our bodies are exposed to natural sunlight. Red and near-infrared wavelengths of natural light stimulate the mitochondria in our cells. The mitochondria turn the light into usable energy for our bodies through the process of cellular respiration.
Reverse skin aging by RedLight photobiomodulation
The efficacy results measured after 1, 2, and 3 months of use are progressive and confirm the interest of LED photobiomodulation to reverse the visible signs of skin aging. All the volunteers observed an overall improvement in skin quality.
All the results observed confirm the interest of using photobiomodulation to reverse the visible signs of aging. These results last for up to 1 month after stopping the use of the mask, which is a sign of lasting structural and functional rejuvenation of the skin.

RedLight Therapy vs. Traditional Steam Sauna
RedLight (heat) is very gentle and soothing. The experience is similar to lying in the sun on a warm day and feeling the heat radiate to the core of your body. Unlike traditional saunas (hot rock or wet/steam) which operate in excess of 180°F, RedLight Bed Therapy has the benefit of being effective at a more comfortable operating temperature of 120°-150°F.
Traditional saunas simply heat the air in the cabin (versus raising core body temperature), making the experience unbearably hot and difficult to breathe. Because RedLight heat penetrates human tissue vs. simply heating the surface of the skin, RedLight Bed Therapy is 7 times more effective than traditional saunas at detoxification. By raising the body’s core temperature over 3 degrees, RedLight Bed Therapy can produce a sweat composed of 20% toxins vs. only 3% toxins with a traditional sauna.
RedLight Bed Therapy
RedLight Therapy combines powerful red light (650nm) and near-infrared (850nm) wavelengths to offer you today’s best therapy. Our RedLight Therapy provides the most proven and effective therapeutic wavelengths to the entire body, reducing oxidative stress and stimulating the production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).
This process, known as Photobiomodulation, has been extensively researched for many years and adds measurable energy to your cells’ mitochondria. Our RedLight Bed Therapy can be used as a stand-alone therapy, and RedLight therapy has been tested across hundreds of peer-reviewed clinical trials with positive results.
The benefits of RedLight Therapy include:
- Reduction of Chronic and Acute Pain
- Skin Rejuvenation (boost collagen & elastin production)
- Tissue Regeneration
- Wound Healing
- Muscle Recovery
- Muscle Conditioning
- Testosterone Boost
- Reduced Inflammation
Variable Optics™ Light Therapy
Our RedLight Therapy is the only RedLight Therapy unit available using Variable Optics™. Most other light therapy units have a single optical output at 30 degrees. This limits the amount of light absorbed by the human body.
The light receptors in our skin absorb the Red and Near Infrared light. With a single optic there is a single acceptance angle. With our Variable Optics™ technology we use a mix of 7 to 60 degree optics creating multiple cross acceptance angles of the light waves. This allows the light to travel better in to our cells and offer more benefit. Our Variable Optics™ technology allows you to maximize the benefits of light therapy in every session.
