Red light therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. When light in the 600–900 nm range penetrates the skin, it’s absorbed by mitochondria — the “powerhouses” of your cells.
This triggers an increase in cellular energy production (ATP), enhances blood flow, and reduces oxidative stress. The result is faster repair, better performance, and improved overall cellular function — all without heat, pain, or downtime.
Full-body panels like the BlockBlueLight XXL deliver these wavelengths evenly across the body, allowing for comprehensive rejuvenation from head to toe.
Red light therapy is generally well-tolerated, but it does have important contraindications. It should be avoided over any known or suspected cancerous lesions, during pregnancy over the abdomen, and on areas with active hemorrhage or recent steroid injections. It’s also contraindicated for individuals taking photosensitizing medications or those with conditions that cause photosensitivity. Use should be avoided on actively infected, inflamed, or open wounds (unless advised by a clinician), and people with epilepsy should be cautious around flickering light sources. Anyone with implanted medical devices—such as pacemakers—should consult a healthcare provider before use.

Full body red light therapy uses low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared (NIR) light to stimulate cellular energy production. This can support recovery, skin health, circulation, mood, and overall wellness.
Red and NIR light penetrate the skin and interact with the mitochondria, helping them produce more ATP (cellular energy). This can enhance cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and support healthy tissue function.
The light panels feel warm but not hot. Most people find the treatment relaxing. There is no pain, vibration, noise, or UV in the light.
Most sessions last 10–15 minutes, depending on your treatment goals.
Wear minimal clothing, or a swimsuit to allow the light to reach as much skin as possible. You may also choose to go nude for maximum exposure—the room is private and the door does lock.
For most people, yes. Red and near-infrared light are non-invasive and do not produce UV radiation. However, certain health conditions and medications may require caution (see contraindications).
Side effects are rare but may include temporary redness, warmth, or mild fatigue. Sensitive individuals may experience headaches or overstimulation if sessions are too long.
Consistency is key. Many people notice benefits within 3–6 sessions, with more significant results after 2–8 weeks of regular treatments.
Benefits can vary, but commonly reported improvements include:
Most clients benefit from 2–5 sessions per week. Daily use is typically safe for healthy individuals, but session length and frequency may be adjusted based on how your body responds.
Contraindications may include:
Most people tolerate red/NIR light without issues, but eye protection is recommended (and provided) for comfort, or if you are light sensitive. You can choose to keep your eyes closed instead.
It may support metabolic health and inflammation, but it is not a fat-loss device on its own. It works best alongside exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
No. You can immediately return to normal activities, workouts, or work.
Yes. It pairs well with fitness training, massage therapy, and skin treatments—always follow your provider’s guidance for timing.
