Red Light Therapy Explained

Red Light Therapy (also called Photobiomodulation or PBM) uses targeted wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, delivering a range of therapeutic and wellness benefits. 

At Merse Wellness Spa, our Red Light Therapy sessions are designed to promote recovery, rejuvenation, and deep relaxation.

During your session, the light penetrates deeply into your skin, muscles, and joints, boosting cellular energy and reducing inflammation.

This helps to relieve muscle tension, accelerate healing, and enhance skin health. Combined with the calming ambiance of our treatment rooms, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, renewed, and truly restored.

The Science Behind Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that penetrate deep into your skin and tissues.

This light stimulates your mitochondria (the tiny energy factories inside your cells) to produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the fuel your cells need to repair, regenerate, and function at their best.

Red Light stimulates the mitochondria inside your cells, increasing ATP (cellular energy) production. This speeds up muscle recovery, tissue repair, and energy regeneration.

Red and near-infrared light improve circulation and modulate cytokines, helping reduce inflammation and supporting healing from injury or strain.

Red Light encourages collagen production and improves cellular turnover, making it effective for reducing signs of aging and enhancing skin clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A: During your Red Light Therapy session, your body is gently bathed in red and near-infrared light that penetrates deep into the skin and tissues. This light stimulates your cells to produce more energy (ATP), helping to accelerate muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote skin rejuvenation through increased collagen production. While you relax in our serene treatment space, your body naturally begins to repair and restore itself—leaving you feeling refreshed, rebalanced, and revitalised.

A: At Merse Wellness Spa, we utilise ReBOD’s commercial-grade red and near-infrared (NIR) light therapy technology. These devices are designed to deliver scientifically backed wavelengths that penetrate deeply into the skin and tissues, promoting cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and enhancing overall wellness. ReBOD’s equipment is engineered for optimal light delivery and efficacy, ensuring our clients receive safe and effective treatments.

A: The number of sessions needed depends on your specific goal. Many people begin to notice subtle improvements—like reduced soreness or a sense of relaxation—within one to two sessions. More noticeable outcomes, such as improved skin tone or long-term pain relief, typically appear after consistent use over a few weeks. For example, aesthetic results may become visible after three to four sessions, while full benefits for skin or pain concerns can be achieved within six to eight weeks.

A: At Merse Wellness Spa, we use a combination of red light (typically around 650–670 nanometers) and near-infrared light (approximately 850 nanometers), depending on the targeted outcome. Red light is best for surface-level concerns like skin health and collagen stimulation, while infrared light penetrates deeper into the body to support muscle recovery, pain relief, and inflammation reduction.

A: The ideal frequency depends on your treatment goal, but most plans begin with multiple sessions per week for a few weeks, followed by ongoing maintenance. For example, clients focused on skin rejuvenation may benefit from two to three sessions per week for eight weeks, while those focused on muscle recovery or pain relief might start with three to five sessions weekly for four to six weeks. After this initial phase, one to two maintenance sessions per week can help sustain results.
