The therapy
Light, not medication
Photobiomodulation is the clinical name for what happens in the bed. Specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light penetrate below the surface of the skin, where they are absorbed by the mitochondria inside your cells — the structures responsible for producing cellular energy.
Because nearly every tissue depends on that same machinery, researchers have looked at the effect across a broad range of applications rather than one narrow use. What it is not: a medication, a cure, or a guaranteed outcome.
Why South Belmar residents book a session
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light absorbed by the mitochondria inside your cells, supporting the way those cells produce energy. It is a wellness therapy, not a cure, and results vary from person to person.

Recovery and performance
