In just minutes, many clients leave feeling more at ease, more restored, and more connected to their body.
What Is Red Light & Infrared Therapy?
Red and near-infrared light (NIR) are absorbed by the body at different depths, supporting natural processes related to circulation, cellular energy, and recovery.
-
Red light works closer to the skin’s surface and is often used to support skin vitality and circulation
-
Near-infrared light penetrates deeper, supporting muscles, joints, and physical recovery
Together, these wavelengths create a layered, full-body approach to wellness—supporting both how you feel and how your body functions.
Your Experience
Your session takes place in a private treatment room.
You’ll lie comfortably on a massage table while our full-body light panel is positioned above you, delivering light from head to toe. The experience is quiet, warm, and effortless—no pressure, no discomfort.
Many clients describe it as a deep pause for the body.
When to Add Red Light / Infrared Therapy
Many clients choose to incorporate Red Light Therapy as part of a broader wellness routine.
It pairs especially well with:
-
Massage therapy (for enhanced recovery)
-
Skincare treatments (for added radiance support)
-

LED Red Light / Blue Light / Infrared Facial Therapy
With LightStim & Celluma Professional Devices
Enhance your skincare experience with targeted LED light therapy—designed to support healthy, radiant skin in a gentle, non-invasive way.
Using professional-grade LightStim and Celluma devices, this treatment delivers specific wavelengths of light to the face, each selected to support different skin concerns while you relax comfortably.
The experience is calming, effortless, and seamlessly integrated into your facial or skincare service.
How It Supports Your Skin
Different wavelengths of light work at varying depths to support the skin’s natural processes:
Red Light
Supports collagen production and skin vitality, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines, tone, and overall firmness.
Blue Light
Targets surface-level bacteria and supports clearer, more balanced skin—commonly used for acne breakout-prone areas.
Near-Infrared Light
Penetrates deeper to support skin health, reduce the appearance of inflammation, and encourage natural repair processes.
Your Experience
During your session, the LED device is positioned comfortably over the face while you rest. The light is gentle and non-thermal, creating a soothing, restorative experience.
Sessions typically last up to 30 minutes and require no downtime, making this an ideal addition to your skincare routine. These sessions are typically part of a Facial Service. See our Skincare Options page for more information about our Facial LED services.
