Light, in all its forms, is essential for our health. All living things have been designed to function with the assistance of natural sunlight. As time has gone on, contemporary lifestyles mean we are seeing less and less essential sunlight. On average, we spend over 90% of our day indoors – depriving our bodies of the natural light they require for optimal health. This is further exacerbated by our exposure to screens, with harmful blue light altering our bodies sleep cycles. Red light acts as a supplement for the sunlight you are missing out on, with powerful healing benefits for increased wellbeing.
Red light therapy is an incredible tool of healing. Our red light panel delivers red light wavelengths of 630nm & 660nm and near infrared wavelengths of 810nm, 830nm & 850nm. This is absorbed by our cells and surface tissues, stimulating the skin layer and invigorating the body. Concentrated red light waves stimulate Mitochondria, recharging our cells in order to enhance our wellbeing in an array of ways.
Red Light Therapy may assist with the following:
The scientific name for red light therapy is Photobiomodulation (PBM).
PBM has over 30 years of published evidence-based research behind it. There have been hundreds of randomised clinical trials and studies, and several of these studies have been published in some of the worlds’ top scientific journals like Nature, the British Medical Journal and the Lancet.
As we continue to update the website, we will add links to the studies supporting PBM.
The more skin exposure the better. We recommend dressing down to your underwear to get the most out of your session.
It is recommended that you wear clothes that you can easily and quickly take off and put on so that dressing and undressing doesn’t consume too much of your appointment time
The panel produces 3 near infra red light waves, these do have a warming effect on the body. These NIR wavelengths provide warmth without burning the skin as they don’t penetrate deeply enough to cause thermal damage.
Due to the warming effect of the NIR wavelengths, we recommend not using it heat producing ointments such as ‘Deep Heat’, or with fresh burns as the additional heat will cause additional discomfort.
We allow an additional 10 minutes in your appointment to give users time to disrobe before the treatment and re-dress after, without having to rush.
We understand that people’s time is valuable and if you go over your appointment time, it affects all bookings after yours.
There is a $30 fee for any bookings that go over the allocated time. But this is why all appointment times include an extra 10 minutes on the treatment time, to allow for users to not be rushed before or after their treatments.
Yes.
For hygiene purposes, you must bring a towel to lay on. We recommend bringing 2 so you can use one as a pillow, but that is personal preference.
Yes, eye protection is recommended, especially when facing the light directly. Our red light panel is very bright, and the provided safety goggles should be worn to protect your eyes from the intense light. While modest amounts of red and NIR LED light may benefit certain eye conditions, it is important not to stare directly into the LEDs
Research indicates that treatment sessions between 10 and 20 minutes are ideal, and length will depend on what you seek to achieve from the therapy. While many people feel a difference after just one session, consistent treatments over several weeks are recommended for best results.
But again, the frequency will vary depending on individual goals and concerns.
There has been no clinical research with RLT treatment and pregnant or nursing women, so we recommend consulting your healthcare practitioner before using red light therapy during pregnancy or while nursing.
Dr. Michael Hamblin, a leading scientist in light therapy, suggests potential benefits for both mother and baby due to the presence of stem cells, but professional medical advice should be sought.
Using the glasses while under the panel should minimise any discomfort for people with light sensitivity, but we do recommend you seek advice from your health care professional.
Photosensitivity is a sensitivity to UV light. Our panel does not produce UV light so should not cause any discomfort for people with photosensitivity, but as always, we recommend you seek professional advice.
Red light therapy is considered safe. Some people might experience slight redness or warmth post-treatment, however this typically subsides quickly.
Yes!
But we wouldn’t recommend it as part of your daily post workout routine, as it would just become too expensive and there are other things you can also include to assist post workout recovery. That being said, many athletes use RLT to enhance muscle recovery and reduce inflammation after intense workouts as well as to assist with healing and soft tissue repair.
In a nutshell, red and near-infrared light therapy works by;
No!
Nothing beats nature. The sun provides the full spectrum of light that our bodies are designed to need and it’s free! So, if you can, get your bare feet on the ground and get some morning and/or evening sun exposure.
But we understand that, for varying reasons, not everyone can do this, and also that winter in Beechworth makes it hard. So we are offering a safe, efficient and pleasant substitute option.
The red light is absorbed primarily by the skin and hair, providing superficial benefits like improved skin health and a youthful appearance. In contrast, the near-infrared spectrum penetrates deeper into the subcutaneous tissue, reaching organs, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even the brain. This deeper penetration allows NIR to enhance cellular energy production, support tissue repair, and improve overall function of the targeted areas.
Red light therapy offers several benefits for the skin, including improved collagen and elastin production, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and improved skin tone and texture. It can also be used to treat conditions such as acne eczema and psoriasis by reducing inflammation, and also promotes wound healing.
Increased collagen and elastin production:
Red light therapy can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles:
By stimulating collagen production, red light therapy can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Improved skin tone and texture:
Red light therapy can also help to improve overall skin tone and texture, making it appear smoother and more even.
Red light therapy (RLT) has gained attention for its potential in managing pain and promoting healing. Here’s an overview of how it may be beneficial:
Pain Relief:
RLT may help alleviate various types of pain, including chronic pain conditions, by reducing inflammation and promoting the healing of tissues.
Reduced Inflammation:
Inflammation is often a key contributor to pain. RLT has been shown to decrease inflammatory markers, which can lead to reduced pain sensations.
Improved Cellular Function:
By enhancing mitochondrial activity in cells, RLT boosts energy production, which can accelerate recovery from injuries and reduce pain.
Increased Blood Flow:
RLT may enhance circulation, leading to improved blood flow to affected areas. This increased circulation can help deliver oxygen and nutrients while removing waste products, further aiding in pain relief.
Muscle Recovery:
Athletes and individuals engaging in physical activity often use RLT to support muscle recovery after workouts or injuries, helping to reduce soreness and improve overall performance.
Joint Health:
There is evidence suggesting that RLT can assist with joint pain conditions, such as arthritis, by improving joint function and reducing stiffness and pain.
As with any therapy, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting red light therapy for pain management, as individual responses can vary, and underlying conditions need to be assessed.
Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress contribute significantly to nearly all types of neurological diseases and is associated with impacting recovery from traumatic brain injury (brain injury) and stroke.
RLT can be an effective treatment for hair loss, particularly in cases of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a common type of hair thinning. It works by stimulating hair follicles at the cellular level, boosting energy production and improving blood circulation to the scalp. This can encourage hair growth, increase hair density, and improve overall scalp health.
Red light therapy (RLT) has shown promise in reducing joint pain and inflammation, particularly for conditions like osteoarthritis. It works by stimulating cellular activity and promoting tissue repair, potentially alleviating pain and improving joint function. RLT can also improve circulation, which can help deliver nutrients and oxygen to the affected area, further aiding in healing

Inflammation is a hallmark of arthritis, leading to joint swelling and discomfort. Red light therapy has shown the potential to mitigate inflammation in arthritic joints. It does so by modulating cytokine levels and promoting anti-inflammatory processes within the body. By addressing the root cause of inflammation, this therapy may help individuals experience fewer flare-ups and less joint swelling, thereby improving their overall well-being.
Arthritis often restricts joint mobility, making it challenging for individuals to engage in daily activities. Red light therapy may offer a solution by promoting enhanced joint function. Through its effects on cellular processes and tissue repair, this therapy can contribute to increased joint mobility. For individuals with arthritis, this means the potential to regain the ability to perform tasks with greater ease and less discomfort.
RLT can help reduce inflammation in the brain, which has been linked to various neurological disorders.
RLT may offer neuroprotective effects, potentially protecting brain cells from damage and cell death.
