Red light therapy in West Grove: your questions, answered first
Experience revitalization. West Grove residents are embracing wellness with FDA-cleared NovoTHOR® red light therapy at our Howell center — and most of them start with the same handful of questions. So we put those at the top.
Common questions from West Grove
What exactly is red light therapy?
It is a non-invasive wellness therapy, known clinically as photobiomodulation, that delivers specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light into your tissue. Those wavelengths are absorbed by mitochondria inside your cells, where research associates them with increased ATP energy production, improved blood flow, and reduced inflammation and oxidative stress.
How is the NovoTHOR different from a panel or handheld device?
The NovoTHOR is a full-body bed rather than a targeted device. You lie down and the light reaches every treatable surface in one session, instead of working one sore area at a time. It is FDA-cleared and, at our center, professionally operated by staff who will walk you through it.
Is it a tanning bed? Will it burn my skin?
No. There is no ultraviolet light involved at all, which is the part of sunlight responsible for tanning and burning. Red light therapy uses visible red and invisible near-infrared wavelengths only.
What does a session actually feel like?
Warm, quiet and unremarkable in the best way. Nothing is injected, nothing is applied to your skin, and there is no recovery period. Most West Grove residents book around the rest of their day rather than building their day around it.
What is red light therapy studied for?
The most commonly researched applications include pain and inflammation, joint comfort, muscle recovery after exercise, skin tone and texture, circulation, and sleep quality. Each of these has its own page in our benefits library with more detail.
Will it cure my condition?
No, and we will never tell you otherwise. Red light therapy is a wellness therapy supported by a growing body of research, not a cure, and results vary between individuals. It does not replace care from your physician, and we do not offer guarantees.
