Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy in Cambridge

Specific light wavelengths penetrate the skin and reach the mitochondria in your cells, where they are involved in energy production (ATP). Sessions run from 5 to 20 minutes.

The Benefits

Skin and collagen

Red and near-infrared wavelengths are absorbed by skin tissue, where collagen production takes place.

Joints and mobility

A common reason people use it. Discuss it with your GP or physiotherapist alongside us before you start.

Light exposure and sleep

Light exposure is one of the inputs to the body clock. We can talk through how people fit sessions around their day.

Post-training use

Often used after training. Sessions are short enough to add to a gym or chamber visit.

Energy for your cells

Red light therapy uses specific red and near-infrared wavelengths that pass through the skin and reach the mitochondria, the powerhouses inside your cells. Those mitochondria are where cells produce energy (ATP). That absorption is the mechanism red light therapy is built around; what it does for any individual varies, and we won’t predict yours.

How it works

The treatment is warm and comfortable, with no needles, no injections and no downtime. You relax in front of the panels wearing protective eyewear while the light does its work. Sessions run from 5 to 20 minutes, so they’re easy to fit into your day.

A natural partner to the chamber

Red light therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy work well together. Plenty of our clients pair the two, using the chamber for whole-body recovery and red light for targeted support on skin, joints and muscles. Ask us about combining them when you book.
