What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive wellness service that exposes the body to low levels of red and near-infrared light to support cellular energy, skin appearance and everyday recovery.
At Degree Wellness, a session takes 15 minutes. You stand between two full-length walls of red and near-infrared light in a private suite, so the light reaches you head to toe rather than one area at a time. Most guests build it into a regular self-care routine alongside our other studio services.
Red Light Therapy Benefits
Red and near-infrared light is studied for its effect on the mitochondria, the part of the cell that produces energy. Guests often choose this service to support natural energy and mental clarity as part of a wider routine.
Red light therapy is widely used to support the appearance of aging skin. Many guests add it to their routine for a more revitalized, balanced look over time.
Red light therapy is often chosen to support skin tone and texture, and guests describe a smoother, more radiant looking complexion with regular sessions.
How Our Red Light Therapy Works
Stand between two full-body walls of red and near-infrared light for 15 minutes of total rejuvenation.
As the light works deep within your cells to boost energy, circulation, and repair, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, radiant, and re-energized.
Who Red Light Therapy Is For
Red light therapy suits guests who want a short, low-effort addition to a self-care routine. Many book it for skin appearance and everyday energy, and others use it as the warm, restful half of a recovery routine that also includes cold services.
It is a good fit if you want a full body service rather than a single treated area, if 15 minutes is what your schedule allows, or if you are already booking a Light Facial and want to pair it with something for the whole body. Guests must be at least 16 years old, and guests under 18 need a parent or guardian consent waiver on file.

Clients can’t stop glowing – literally. Red Light Therapy has become a favorite for those seeking better skin, deeper energy, and a lasting mood boost.

Advanced Technology. Advanced Results.
Our red light suites use two full-length panels that deliver red and near-infrared wavelengths together, which is the approach known as photobiomodulation. Standing between the panels means the light reaches the front and back of the body in the same 15 minutes, rather than treating one area at a time.
Everything you need is already in the suite: eye protection, makeup removing wipes and chilled water. The light is safe for devices, so a podcast or a meditation can come with you. If you want the science behind it, our guide to how red light therapy actually works explains what red and near-infrared wavelengths are and how they differ.

Red Light Therapy FAQs
What does a red light therapy session at Degree Wellness involve?
You are shown to a private suite that is set up before you arrive with chilled water, makeup removing wipes and eye protection. You then stand between two full-length walls of red and near-infrared light for 15 minutes, so the light reaches you head to toe rather than one area at a time. A plush robe is provided for the walk to and from your suite.
How often should I book red light therapy?
It depends on your wellness goals. Some guests visit weekly and others come more often. Our team can help recommend a cadence based on your energy, anti-aging, recovery or skin goals, and most guests build red light therapy into a regular self-care routine rather than treating it as a one-time session.
How should I prepare for a red light therapy session?
Remove makeup beforehand so the light reaches your skin, and makeup removing wipes are provided in your suite if you need them. Eye protection is included, and the light is safe for devices, so you are welcome to bring a podcast, audiobook or meditation with you. Arriving a few minutes early gives you time to settle in.
Is the red light therapy session private?
Yes. Red light therapy is enjoyed in a private suite, so no one sees you during your session. The suite is set up as a serene, spa-like space, and a complimentary robe makes the transition to and from your session simple.
Is red light therapy safe?
Red light therapy uses low levels of red and near-infrared light rather than ultraviolet light, and Degree Wellness provides protective eyewear for every session. Red light therapy is intended to support general wellness and self-care, not to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. Please speak with a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new wellness therapy, and tell our team about anything relevant before your first visit.
Do I need a membership to try red light therapy?
No. Memberships offer the best value and can be used across our services, but guests are always welcome to book a single red light therapy session. Packages of 5 or 10 sessions are also available if you prefer to focus on one service. Degree Wellness accepts FSA and HSA payment for memberships and services.
Can I combine red light therapy with other services?
Yes. Many guests stack services in a single visit, and pairing red light therapy with Infrared Sauna is a popular combination. Guests may enjoy one of each of our services per day, and our team will help you sequence them. Tell us what you are working toward and we will suggest a pairing that fits your visit.
How old do you have to be for red light therapy?
Guests must be at least 16 years old to use any Degree Wellness service, including red light therapy. Guests under 18 need a parent or guardian consent waiver on file before their first session. Our team can send the waiver ahead of your visit so nothing holds up your appointment.
