What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to boost cellular energy. When these wavelengths hit your skin, they're absorbed by mitochondria — increasing ATP production and triggering repair, recovery, and regeneration.

Over 5,000 peer-reviewed studies support its benefits. Unlike UV light, red and near-infrared are completely safe with no risk of skin damage.

The Therapeutic Wavelengths

Proven Benefits

• Skin Health & Anti-Aging — Stimulates collagen and elastin production
• Muscle Recovery — Reduces soreness, accelerates post-workout recovery
• Joint Pain & Inflammation — Reduces inflammation markers and stiffness
• Sleep Quality — Supports melatonin production and circadian rhythm
• Mood & Cognitive Function — Near-infrared can support brain health
• Wound Healing — Accelerates tissue repair (originally developed by NASA)

Why Dedicated Panels Matter

Here's what most people don't realize: not all red light delivery is equal.

Some brands integrate red LEDs into their infrared heaters. The problem? You're only getting targeted light on small areas — not full-body coverage.

Peak Saunas use dedicated full-body red light panels positioned for maximum skin coverage. This means you get therapeutic dosing across your entire body — not just wherever a heater happens to be.

The Synergy Effect

Combining infrared heat with red light therapy creates a powerful synergy:

• Increased circulation from infrared heat helps deliver red light benefits deeper into tissues
• Open pores allow better light penetration to the skin
• Relaxed muscles are more receptive to light therapy's recovery benefits
• One session, two therapies — maximum wellness in minimum time
