The Shore’s wellness questions, answered
Deal residents are curious — and they should be. Before you book an FDA-cleared NovoTHOR® session in nearby Howell, here are straight answers to the questions we hear most.
Frequently asked questions
What is whole-body red light therapy?
It is a non-invasive treatment, also called photobiomodulation, that bathes your body in red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light. The NovoTHOR® is a full-length bed, so a single session treats you head to toe — no ultraviolet light and nothing to recover from afterward.
How long is a session, and where is it?
Sessions take about 20 minutes at our studio in Cherry Tree Plaza, 2350 Route 9 South, Howell — a short, scenic drive from Deal with free on-site parking.
What might it help with?
Residents commonly use it for pain and muscle soreness , recovery, circulation, skin health , and sleep support. These are supportive, evidence-based benefits — not cures or guarantees.
Is it safe? Does it hurt?
The NovoTHOR® is FDA-cleared and operated by trained staff. There are no needles and no UV exposure; most people feel only a comfortable warmth. If you have a medical condition, we recommend checking with your own clinician first.
How often should I come in?
Benefits are cumulative, so a consistent rhythm tends to work best. Many people start with a series of closer- spaced sessions and settle into a maintenance cadence that fits their routine.
