RED LIGHT THERAPY

Red Light Therapy

Boost cellular energy, support recovery, and improve skin health with targeted red and near-infrared light.

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support the body's natural recovery and performance processes.

Unlike UV light, these wavelengths are non-thermal and are commonly used to help support cellular energy production (ATP), circulation, tissue recovery, and skin health.

At Zivel, sessions are designed to be comfortable, consistent, and easy to integrate into a wellness routine.

  • Non-invasive and comfortable
  • Commonly used for recovery + skin support
  • Great as a stand-alone session or paired with other services

The Experience

What to Expect

01

Recommended Frequency

Consistency matters: many clients start with 2–4 sessions/week, then adjust based on goals.

The Science

The Science Behind Red Light Therapy

Red and near-infrared light can be absorbed by cellular structures involved in energy production. This process is often discussed in the context of supporting ATP (cellular energy).

RLT is also studied for its potential to support circulation and tissue recovery through photobiomodulation mechanisms.

Zivel's approach focuses on consistency, comfort, and combining RLT with complementary services to support outcomes.
