Red-Light Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
Answered by Ben, Owner of Healing on Spring
What is red light therapy, and how does it actually work?
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular function. These wavelengths penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy centres of our cells, where they support ATP production. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the main energy source for our cells. Think of it as a rechargeable battery that powers everything your body does.
When your cells need energy for moving muscles, repairing tissue, or keeping your organs working, ATP provides that energy. This increase in cellular energy helps optimise repair processes, improve circulation, and encourage the body to move out of inflammation and into regeneration. This also releases nitric oxide, a molecule that enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues. This combination helps your body repair and rejuvenate more effectivelyNitric oxide (NO) is a molecule naturally produced in the body that plays an important role in vascular health. It acts as a vasodilator, which means it helps relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen
delivery throughout the body. This process supports healthy blood pressure, better circulation, and the efficient delivery of nutrients and oxygen to tissues.
Nitric oxide is crucial for many bodily functions, such as immune response, brain signaling, and muscle function. For example, athletes often try to increase nitric oxide production to enhance performance and endurance, as better blood flow can lead to improved muscle oxygenation and faster recovery.
What are the proven benefits?
Research and clinical use have shown that red light therapy can support collagen production, accelerate skin healing, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Beyond skin health, it is increasingly recognised for its role in supporting muscle recovery, reducing pain, enhancing sleep quality, and calming the nervous system. Many clients also report improved energy, mood, and overall wellbeing when treatments are used consistently.
Are at-home red light devices as effective as in-clinic treatments?
At home devices can be beneficial for maintenance and consistency, particularly for skin health, however they are generally lower in power and precision compared to medical-grade, in-clinic systems. In-clinic treatments deliver controlled wavelengths, higher output, and more comprehensive coverage, which allows for deeper tissue penetration and more pronounced results, especially for inflammation, recovery, and systemic support.
Can red light therapy be combined with other treatments (e.g., skincare, LED masks, injectables, physio)?
Yes, red light therapy works exceptionally well as a complementary treatment and is often used alongside advanced skincare, LED facials, injectables, physiotherapy, lymphatic massage, and post-procedure recovery protocols. By calming inflammation and supporting cellular repair, it can enhance results, speed healing, and improve overall treatment outcomes when integrated into a broader wellness or aesthetic plan.

Answered by David Altamura, CEO of Wildsoul Wellness
Does red light have aesthetic benefits as well as internal ones?
Yes, red light therapy offers both aesthetic and internal health benefits, which is why it’s become such a well-loved modality. Aesthetically, red light can support collagen production, helping improve skin firmness, smoothness and overall radiance. It’s also known to reduce redness and support a more even skin tone.
Internally, there are some deeper benefits. Red light works at a cellular level by supporting mitochondrial energy production, reducing inflammation, improving muscle recovery and helping regulate sleep and mood. So while people often notice a visible “glow”, the real bonus is the improved cellular function happening beneath the surface.
How often should you use red light therapy to see real results?
For best results, consistency is far more important than long sessions. Most people benefit from 2–4 red light sessions per week, especially in the first few months. Sessions don’t need to be long, our sessions are 20 minutes, any longer can actually have the reserve effect.
Visible improvements often appear within 3–4 weeks, while deeper changes (such as collagen support, inflammation reduction and enhanced recovery) generally become more noticeable after 8–12 weeks of regular use. Like a structured training routine, the benefits accumulate with ongoing commitment.
What is contrast therapy and how can you use infrared with other treatments for stronger benefits?
Contrast therapy involves alternating between hot and cold exposure, creating a strong circulatory response that supports recovery, reduces inflammation, boosts mood and sharpens mental clarity. Heat dilates your blood vessels, increasing circulation and helping muscles relax. Cold exposure then rapidly constricts them, creating a “vascular pump” effect that helps flush waste products and reduce soreness.
At Wildsoul Wellness, we offer two types of heat for this style of therapy:
- an indoor infrared sauna, which provides deep, gentle heat that penetrates the muscles
- and a traditional steam sauna located in our outdoor contrast therapy area, offering a more intense, humid heat experience
Pairing either sauna with an ice bath creates a highly effective contrast routine. Many people choose to start with heat, infrared or steam, to warm the body and make the cold exposure more approachable. Moving between the two modalities can enhance recovery, regulate the nervous system and leave you with a profound sense of clarity and calm.
