Frequently asked questions
What is red light therapy, and how does the NovoTHOR bed work?
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light that your cells absorb. Inside the FDA-cleared NovoTHOR bed, that light reaches the mitochondria in your cells and supports the production of ATP, the energy your body uses to repair and recover.
How far is the studio from Lower Squankum?
Our studio is in Cherry Tree Plaza at 2350 Route 9 South in Howell — a short, straightforward drive from Lower Squankum and the surrounding rural roads near Allaire State Park. Free parking is available directly outside.
What does a session feel like, and how long does it take?
You lie comfortably inside the full-length bed while the light surrounds the whole body at once. A typical session lasts only about twelve to fifteen minutes. Most people find it warm and relaxing, and you can return to your day right afterward.
Is it safe? Is there any downtime?
Red light therapy is non-invasive and drug-free, with no needles and no recovery time. It is not a cure or a guarantee of results, and we are happy to answer questions about whether it suits your individual situation before you begin.
What do people use it for?
Common reasons neighbors visit include easing everyday aches, supporting joint comfort and mobility, recovering after outdoor activity, and encouraging better circulation. You can read the evidence behind each benefit on our benefits pages.
How often should I come in?
Because sessions are short, consistency matters more than any single visit. Many people build a regular routine over several weeks. We can help you plan a schedule that fits your goals and your week when you book.
Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?
Very little. There is no special preparation required. For the best results you expose as much skin as is comfortable so the light reaches you directly rather than through clothing, so many people simply wear something easy to change out of. Everything else is taken care of when you arrive.
Why a whole-body bed instead of a small panel?
Small handheld panels treat one area at a time, while the NovoTHOR bed surrounds the entire body in a single session. That means the tired legs, sore shoulders, and general fatigue are all addressed at once, which is both more efficient and better suited to overall recovery and wellness.
