Red light therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-informed treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near infrared light to support the body’s natural healing and rejuvenation processes. In both physiotherapy and aesthetic settings, it is used to complement hands on treatment and skincare programmes, helping clients feel better, move more comfortably, and support healthier-looking skin.
Red light therapy involves exposing the body to low-level red and near infrared light. Unlike UV light, it does not damage the skin. Instead, these wavelengths penetrate the skin and underlying tissues, where they are absorbed by cells and may help support cellular energy production and circulation.
Treatments are comfortable, pain-free, and require no downtime, making them suitable for regular use alongside other therapies.
Red light therapy is increasingly used as an adjunct to physiotherapy treatment plans, particularly for people experiencing joint and soft tissue discomfort.
