What is Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation)?

Red light therapy is a noninvasive therapy that uses low-intensity red and near-infrared wavelengths to stimulate cellular activity.

Red light is commonly around 620 to 700 nm, while near-infrared light is often used for deeper tissue penetration above the visible red range ( > 700nm). Red light therapy delivers therapeutic light through LEDs or low-level lasers to support skin repair, inflammation modulation, collagen activity, microcirculation, and skin healing pathways.

The Process

When specific wavelengths penetrate the skin, light particles or photons are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, a protein in the mitochondria cell, triggering increased ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, activations of antioxidant defenses and release of nitric oxide. These effects enhance blood flow, reduce oxidative stress, and improve tissue repair. The resulting increase in cellular energy supports cellular efficiency, repair and regeneration.

What Can I Expect?

At Foundry Hyperbaric and Wellness Lab, you will experience state of the art light therapy with our powerful 360 full body bed with 18,000 LEDs, 1760 W power, and 5 different wavelengths (633nm, 660 nm, 810 nm, 850 nm, 940 nm) for the ultimate customization to your needs and goals in a private luxurious setting.

You will meet with our team to discuss your goals and receive a tailored program of light therapy that starts with the appropriate building phase and extends into the best maintenance program to meet your needs.

Our red light therapy bed is a full-body light treatment that you relax in for up to 20 minutes while gentle red and near-infrared light helps your skin, muscles, and joints function and repair more efficiently. The light is non-UV, non-tanning, and non-invasive, so you simply lie down, relax, and let the light do the work.

Light Therapy and HBOT Synergy

Photobiomodulation or light therapy affects cellular signaling and inflammation modulation by stimulating the mitochondria while HBOT maximizes oxygen delivery to all tissue, stimulating fibroblast cells to increase collagen and growth factor production and maximizing the efficiency of the mitochondria to produce ATP, the power source for cellular functions. They have complementary mechanisms that we combine at Foundry Hyperbaric and Wellness to maximize your results.

We have a low level red light therapy that you can enjoy during your HBOT sessions as well as our more powerful 360 whole body bed before or after your HBOT session.

At Foundry Hyperbaric and Wellness Lab we stack everything in your favor in a safe and luxurious setting with a personal team and tailored approach.
