Red Light Therapy Looks Great on You!

Our full-body red light therapy bed is one of the most versatile tools in our powerful lineup. We often recommend it to support energy, inflammation reduction, pain relief, or immunity. But let’s be honest: it also makes people look really, really good.
Whether you're here for glowing skin or deeper healing, our full-body red light bed delivers both. That’s because red and near-infrared light don’t just treat the surface—they recharge your cells from the inside out.
What that can mean for your appearance:
Younger, more radiant skin. Boosts collagen and elastin production, helping improve tone, texture, and firmness while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Calmer, more even complexion. Reduces redness and inflammation—great for rosacea, sensitive skin, and blotchiness.
Acne and breakouts. Calms inflammatory acne, accelerates healing, and helps reduce the risk of scarring.
Faster recovery from rashes, irritation, and wounds. By supporting the skin barrier and calming overactive immune responses, red light may speed resolution of dermatitis or other flare-ups.
Smaller-looking pores. Improved skin tone and structure can make pores less noticeable over time.
Scar fading. Stimulates tissue repair, making old acne marks and other scars less prominent.
Repair for sun-damaged skin. Red and near-infrared light can help reduce discoloration, boost skin regeneration, and restore collagen depleted by years of sun exposure.
Hair regrowth. Increases blood flow to the scalp and reactivates sluggish follicles, especially in early-stage thinning.
Subtle cellulite smoothing. While not a magic eraser, red light therapy may improve skin texture and circulation, leading to modest reductions in the appearance of cellulite over time.
Support for body contouring and fat metabolism. Some preliminary research suggests red light therapy may influence fat cell behavior, helping release stored fat through natural metabolic processes. It's not a replacement for movement or nutrition—but it may complement your efforts.
Of course, the benefits go deeper than the surface.
At Very Well, we see red light therapy as a foundation for whole-body health. Here’s what it’s doing behind the scenes:
Mitochondrial Recharge. Red and near-infrared light energize your cells’ power centers (mitochondria), which helps everything from healing to hormone balance.
Reduced Inflammation + Better Circulation. RLT promotes blood flow while calming inflammatory processes—supporting faster recovery and better tissue function.
Hormonal and Nervous System Support. It may help regulate cortisol and circadian rhythms, improving sleep, mood, and resilience to stress.
Immune Modulation. Early research suggests it may help regulate the immune system in a way that supports chronic illness recovery and tissue repair.
Brain and Mood Boost. RLT has shown potential to support cognitive performance and mood regulation—especially when used regularly.
AND MUCH MORE. So much more!
Want to get the most out of it? Here’s how:
Be consistent. For skin or hair improvements, aim for 2–3 sessions a week for the first month. Once you start seeing the results you’re after, you can taper off to a maintenance schedule.
Come with bare skin. Avoid makeup, sunscreen, or lotions right before your session.
Hydrate. Water supports every cellular process—especially the ones you're activating in the bed. Drink plenty before and after each session, and throughout the day.
Be patient. You’ll probably notice general health effects before aesthetic ones. Visual changes can take time. Subtle shifts may show up before dramatic ones.
The best part? You don’t have to choose between looking better and feeling better. With our full-body bed, every session is doing both.
IMPORTANT: For those looking to deepen their results, our powerful PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy is an ideal complement to red light. It improves circulation, enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery, and accelerates cellular repair—all of which help the skin and scalp respond more effectively to treatment. PEMF also helps regulate inflammation, reduce puffiness, and support stress recovery, creating the kind of internal balance that shows up on your face. Used together, red light and PEMF support visible aesthetic improvements while reinforcing the core systems that keep you feeling healthy, steady, and resilient. (If you combine these therapies in one visit, best to have your PEMF session first.)
