Frequently asked questions
Everything Anchorage residents want to know before their first visit.
What is red light therapy, and how does it work?
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that your cells absorb to support their natural energy production. Our NovoTHOR® bed delivers red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light across your whole body at once. It is non-invasive, drug-free, and does not use UV light.
Is the NovoTHOR® bed safe and FDA-cleared?
Yes. NovoTHOR® is an FDA-cleared whole-body light therapy device operated by our trained staff. Sessions are comfortable and relaxing, with no needles, no heat damage, and no downtime afterward. It is a gentle, well-tolerated treatment for most healthy adults.
What can it help with?
Research supports red light therapy for a range of goals, including pain relief, faster athletic recovery, and better sleep. It is evidence-based and drug-free, not a cure or a guaranteed outcome. See the full list of benefits to learn more.
What is a session actually like?
You lie back comfortably inside the NovoTHOR® bed while it bathes your whole body in red and near-infrared light. There is nothing to do but relax. Many people find it a calm, restorative break in their day, and there is no recovery time before you head back out along the bay.
How far is the studio from Anchorage?
Our studio is at Cherry Tree Plaza, 2350 Route 9 South in Howell, a short and straightforward drive from the Anchorage waterfront. Free on-site parking is available, and you can plan your route with the Get Directions link further down this page.
How often should I come, and how do I book?
Red light therapy tends to work best with consistency, and the right rhythm depends on your goals. Booking online takes a moment, or you can call us at (732) 702-1136 and we will help you find a time that fits your schedule.
Is red light therapy only for athletes?
Not at all. While active residents love it for recovery, red light therapy is a whole-body wellness tool that appeals to a wide range of people, from those managing everyday aches and stiff joints to anyone interested in skin health, circulation, sleep, and healthy aging. If you enjoy the bay and the parks but also want to feel your best day to day, it fits right in.
What should I bring or wear?
Just bring yourself. Sessions are simple and low-effort, and our staff will guide you through everything when you arrive, including how to get the most from the light exposure. There is no special preparation required, and because there is no downtime, you can head straight back out to your day afterward.
