Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment, cleared by the FDA, that delivers red light to a person’s skin and cells. Red light is similar to infrared light, except it is visible. Red light therapy dates back more than 30 years when scientists used it to grow plants in space.
The intense light from red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) promoted growth and photosynthesis of plant cells. Red light technology also promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction in humans which is similar to the photosynthesis promoted in plants which improves the mitochondria. With more energy, cells can function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage.

No. Red light is completely different than the ultraviolet light used in tanning beds, which also makes it safer. Traditional tanning beds use ultraviolet radiation to kickstart the production of melanin in the body, gradually turning skin pigment darker. Red light therapy devices use light energy instead of ultraviolet rays, which puts you at a lower risk of developing skin cancer, premature wrinkles, eye damage, and additional problems attributed to prolonged exposure to UV rays.
Red light therapy emits extremely low levels of heat. It does not burn the skin or cause any pain.
No. We will provide special goggles designed specifically for red light therapy.
Any area of your skin that is receiving red light therapy should be free from lotion, oils, and makeup. Nova Vita Wellness Centers will provide face wipes for makeup removal if needed.
The frequency of sessions depends on your wellness goals. The recommended use is 2 to 3 times per week for approximately 6 to 12 weeks depending on the type and severity of your condition. If you are using red light therapy to treat a specific condition, then the severity of the condition and any other wellness solutions used in conjunction with red light therapy will determine how often you should receive treatment.
