Red Light Therapy in Parkway Pines: your questions, answered
Where Parkway Pines' community spirit meets cutting-edge wellness. Before you book, here is everything neighbors ask us about the FDA-cleared NovoTHOR bed — just minutes away on Route 9.
Frequently asked questions
What is red light therapy, exactly?
Red light therapy — known clinically as photobiomodulation — uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support your cells. Our NovoTHOR bed delivers red light at 660nm and near-infrared at 850nm. Those wavelengths are absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells, which may increase production of ATP, the energy behind natural repair and recovery.
Where do Parkway Pines residents go for a session?
Our studio is at Cherry Tree Plaza, 2350 Route 9 South, Howell, NJ 07731 — the same Route 9 corridor Parkway Pines residents already use for shopping and dining. Parking is free and on-site.
What does a NovoTHOR session actually feel like?
You lie down in the bed and relax while light surrounds you head to toe. Most people describe a gentle warmth and nothing more. There are no needles, no injections and nothing invasive. When the session ends you get dressed and carry on with your day — there is no downtime.
Is it safe? Does it use UV light?
The NovoTHOR is an FDA-cleared device and uses no ultraviolet light at all, so it does not tan or burn the skin the way UV exposure does. As a sensible precaution, talk with us and with your physician first if you are pregnant, taking photosensitizing medication, being treated for cancer, or have had recent steroid injections in an area you want treated.
How often should I come in?
Red light therapy rewards consistency rather than intensity. Benefits tend to build over a series of regular sessions instead of appearing after a single visit. We will talk through your goals and help you plan a schedule that fits around work, school runs and youth sports.
What can red light therapy help with?
The evidence base points to support for muscle recovery, joint comfort, inflammation, circulation, skin quality, sleep and mood. These are areas of support, not guarantees or cures — we are careful about that distinction, and each benefit has its own detailed page on our site.
Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?
Very little. Wear or bring minimal clothing so more skin is exposed to the light, arrive a few minutes early for your first visit, and bring any questions you have. That is genuinely it.
How do I book?
Book online any time through our scheduling page, or call us at (732) 702-1136 and we will find a time that works for you.
