Who Should Use Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy isn't just for one type of person. From athletes to office workers, from people managing chronic pain to those simply wanting to look and feel younger — the benefits of photobiomodulation are remarkably broad. Here's a breakdown of who benefits most.

People Managing Chronic Pain

If you live with back pain, joint inflammation, arthritis, fibromyalgia, or neuropathy, red light therapy may offer meaningful relief. By reducing inflammatory cytokines and supporting tissue repair at the cellular level, regular sessions can complement — and in some cases reduce reliance on — pain medications.

  • Chronic back and neck pain
  • Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Post-surgical recovery
  • Neuropathic pain

Athletes and Active Individuals

Recovery is where performance is built. Near-infrared light accelerates muscle repair, reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and supports faster return to training. Athletes in Des Moines and across Iowa are using LightLab's Recovery PTx™ to train harder and stay healthier.

Who Should Use Red Light Therapy?

People Focused on Skin Health

Red light at 660nm is the gold standard for skin rejuvenation. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, improves skin tone and texture, reduces fine lines, and supports healing of scars and blemishes — without UV damage, chemicals, or downtime.

Those Working on Body Composition

The Dahlia bed's patented fat-loss setting, combined with nutrition guidance, creates a powerful environment for body composition change. Light therapy supports fat cell metabolism and complements healthy diet and exercise programs.

Anyone Wanting More Energy

Mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a driver of fatigue, brain fog, and accelerated aging. By stimulating ATP production, red light therapy can meaningfully improve energy levels, mental clarity, and overall vitality — especially with consistent use.
