How it works

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, which are absorbed through the skin.

Our bed uses five wavelengths. Two are visible red light and three are near-infrared, which you can't see but may feel as gentle warmth. Because the bed surrounds you at 360°, you get even, head-to-toe coverage in one session, something a wall panel can't offer.

It doesn't use UV light, so it won't tan your skin. It's not a sunbed.

Making it a routine

Little and often

Red light is designed to be part of a regular routine. When starting out, we recommend 2 to 3 sessions a week, then settling into a rhythm that suits you. Our bundles make regular sessions better value.

Doing both?

Red light first, then straight into the chamber

Book your red light session, then choose an HBOT slot starting 20 minutes later.

Quick questions

Will it give me a tan?

No. The bed doesn't use UV light, so it won't tan your skin.

Does it feel hot?

It feels pleasantly warm, a bit like lying in gentle sunshine, without the UV.

Is it suitable for everyone?

Most people, yes. If you're pregnant, sensitive to light, take medication that makes you light-sensitive, or have epilepsy, please check with your GP first. You'll complete a short health form before your first session.
