LightLab Wellness offers medical-grade red light therapy in Clive, Iowa — clinically designed sessions for pain relief, weight loss, skin rejuvenation, and faster recovery. No drugs, no needles, no downtime.





Red light therapy — also called photobiomodulation (PBM) — uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate your skin and stimulate your cells at the mitochondrial level. The result: your cells produce more ATP energy, reduce inflammation, and accelerate natural healing.
At LightLab Wellness in Clive, Iowa, we use the Dahlia full-body light therapy bed — one of the most advanced photobiomodulation devices available — delivering precise wavelengths across your entire body in a single, relaxing 20-minute session. We serve clients from Clive, West Des Moines, Urbandale, Johnston, Waukee, and throughout the Des Moines metro.
Each program is clinically designed around a specific health goal — from pain relief to skin rejuvenation — using the Dahlia full-body light therapy bed.

Targeted red, near-infrared, and infrared light may support reduction of inflammation, ease joint discomfort, and promote natural tissue recovery.
