Red light therapy for Vanderburg, explained plainly

How the treatment works

Photobiomodulation delivers specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light into body tissue. Those wavelengths are absorbed by mitochondria, the structures within cells responsible for producing ATP. Research suggests this absorption supports more efficient cellular energy production, which in turn underpins the effects described below.

The distinction between a whole-body bed and a handheld panel is dose consistency. A bed applies a measured, even exposure across the entire body in one sitting. A panel requires the user to position, aim, and time each region individually, which introduces considerable variability.

Two points follow from this that are worth stating plainly. First, the effects are cumulative rather than immediate, so a schedule matters more than any single appointment; two or three sessions per week is the cadence most regular users adopt. Second, nothing about the process requires preparation or produces after-effects. There is no ultraviolet component, no topical product, and no recovery window, which is why a session can be scheduled between other commitments rather than around them.
