Frequently asked questions
Tap any question to read the answer.
What is whole-body red light therapy?
It is a non-invasive treatment, also called photobiomodulation, that surrounds your body with 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared light. Those wavelengths are absorbed by your cells' mitochondria to support natural energy production, recovery, and repair. Our NovoTHOR® bed is FDA-cleared.
Is it a good fit for active adults in Leisure Knoll?
Many older adults choose red light therapy precisely because it is gentle, drug-free, and requires no downtime. It complements the active-aging lifestyle Leisure Knoll is known for, supporting mobility, comfortable joints, and everyday vitality without strain.
What might it help with?
People commonly use it to ease joint discomfort, calm inflammation, support muscle recovery, improve circulation, and encourage more restful sleep. It is a complement to, not a replacement for, the care you receive from your own physician.
What is a session actually like?
You simply lie back in a comfortable, evenly lit chamber and relax for one brief session. There are no needles and no medication, and you can return to your normal day right afterward.
Is there anyone who should check with a doctor first?
As a sensible precaution, talk with your physician first if you are pregnant, have active cancer in the treatment area, or take photosensitizing medication. We are always happy to answer questions before you book.
