WHAT IS RED LIGHT THERAPY
Light as Medicine
Red Light Therapy — also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) — uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate skin tissue and stimulate healing at the cellular level.
When absorbed by the mitochondria, these wavelengths enhance ATP (energy) production, support cellular repair, reduce oxidative stress, and promote anti-inflammatory responses throughout the body.
It is non-invasive, painless, and deeply complementary to acupuncture — which is why we integrate both modalities for an amplified therapeutic effect.
Supports skin healing and collagen production
Reduces inflammation and swelling
Enhances circulation and lymphatic flow
Improves mitochondrial energy production
Complements acupuncture and TCM protocols

Common questions
-
Our Red Light Therapy sessions are integrated with acupuncture and administered by Registered Acupuncturists (R.Ac). The acupuncture component of your session is typically eligible for extended health coverage — check with your provider for your specific plan details
-
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (630–850nm) that are therapeutic and do not contain UV radiation. Unlike tanning beds, it does not damage the skin — it supports healing at the cellular level through a process called photobiomodulation.
-
Some clients notice benefits after their first session, while others find that consistent treatment over several weeks yields the most meaningful results. Your Registered Acupuncturist will work with you to create an appropriate treatment frequency based on your goals and health history.
-
Our Fertility Acupuncture with Red Light Therapy treatment is designed to complement assisted reproductive technologies including IVF and IUI. Red light therapy may support improved circulation to reproductive organs, mitochondrial health in eggs, and uterine lining quality. Please discuss your specific protocol with your practitioner.
