Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy (also referred to as photobiomodulation) uses specific, clinically studied wavelengths of visible light to stimulate biological processes at the cellular level. These wavelengths penetrate the skin and are absorbed by mitochondria, where they help increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production—an essential energy source for cellular repair and regeneration.

In clinical practice, red light therapy is commonly used to support:

• Inflammation modulation
• Tissue healing and repair
• Circulatory support
• Skin integrity and collagen synthesis
• Neuromuscular relaxation

Acupuncture initiates physiological responses through the nervous, vascular, and connective tissue systems. Red light therapy supports these same pathways by:

• Enhancing microcirculation to treated areas
• Supporting mitochondrial efficiency at acupuncture points
• Reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory signaling
• Encouraging tissue regeneration and collagen production

When applied during an acupuncture session, red light therapy works concurrently with needle stimulation, offering an integrated approach to care rather than a separate modality.

The professional-grade LED light therapy system allows for the use of one, two, or all three wavelengths simultaneously, based on clinical goals:

• Red Light – 650nm Supports collagen production, reduces inflammation, and assists with tissue repair and circulation.
• Yellow Light – 590nm Supports skin clarity, tone, and lymphatic activity.
• Blue Light – 450nm Commonly used to support acne-prone skin and surface-level purification.

Wavelength selection and intensity are adjusted by the practitioner to align with the treatment plan.

Red light therapy may be used to support care for:

• Musculoskeletal pain and stiffness
• Inflammatory conditions
• Post-treatment tissue recovery
• Skin aging, laxity, and dullness
• Acne and uneven skin texture
• General skin and tissue health

While individual responses vary, benefits are cumulative and may increase with regular use.

Yes! Red light therapy is safe. This is what you can expect:

• Applied during your acupuncture session
• Non-invasive, painless, and heat-free
• Eye protection provided
• Adjustable intensity and session duration
• No downtime following treatment
