RED LIGHT THERAPY
Red Light Therapy
Boost cellular energy, support recovery, and improve skin health with targeted red and near-infrared light.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support the body's natural recovery and performance processes.
Unlike UV light, these wavelengths are non-thermal and are commonly used to help support cellular energy production (ATP), circulation, tissue recovery, and skin health.
At Zivel, sessions are designed to be comfortable, consistent, and easy to integrate into a wellness routine.
- Non-invasive and comfortable

The Experience
What to Expect
Arrival & Setup
Check in, review any questions, and get positioned comfortably for the session.
During the Session
Relax while targeted wavelengths of red + near-infrared light are delivered to support cellular function.
After the Session
Most people return to normal activity immediately—many feel refreshed and more loose post-session.
Recommended Frequency
Consistency matters: many clients start with 2–4 sessions/week, then adjust based on goals.
The Science
The Science Behind Red Light Therapy
Red and near-infrared light can be absorbed by cellular structures involved in energy production. This process is often discussed in the context of supporting ATP (cellular energy).
RLT is also studied for its potential to support circulation and tissue recovery through photobiomodulation mechanisms.
Zivel's approach focuses on consistency, comfort, and combining RLT with complementary services to support outcomes.
