Red Light Therapy
Our red light therapy sessions available in Henderson and Glen Eden, West Auckland use a full length light panel that produces red and near infrared light and feels like the warmth of the sun on your skin. It provides a range of health benefits as the concentrated light wavelengths penetrate your tissues, stimulates cellular change and enables the mitochondria to produce more energy in the cells, which has a flow on effect for boosting health.
Our sessions are not only relaxing but also effective in supporting skin health, reducing pain and inflammation, improving sleep, supporting injury recovery and recovery from chronic illness, relieving stress and tension and treating seasonal effective mood disorders.​​

What to expect

​
When using red light therapy you will feel warm, but not sweat like in a sauna, so afterwards you can dress and carry on your day as usual.
​
While you may notice some immediate effects such as relaxation, improved mood, better circulation or some reduction in pain, the majority of benefits come from regular use. It is commonly used 3-4 times a week, with greater benefits from daily use and we have a discounted concession available for 3 sessions a week.
