Red light therapy has taken center stage in the wellness world—and for good reason. At Dynamic Rejuvenation, I’ve seen firsthand how this science-backed treatment is helping clients revitalize their skin, ease discomfort, and accelerate recovery. But what exactly makes red light therapy so effective? Let’s explore the mechanisms, benefits, and practical considerations that make this treatment a powerful addition to your wellness journey.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy—also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation—uses therapeutic wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (typically between 600 and 900 nanometers). When applied to the skin, this light penetrates the body’s cells, energizing the mitochondria responsible for producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate)—our cells’ energy currency.
As ATP production increases, so does the body’s natural ability to repair, regenerate, and rebalance itself. From reducing inflammation to enhancing collagen synthesis, red light therapy works at a cellular level to support whole-body wellness..

Benefits I See with Red Light Therapy
At Dynamic Rejuvenation, red light therapy is more than a beauty trend—it’s a clinical wellness tool I incorporate into various care plans. Here are just a few of the most common benefits I’ve witnessed among my clients:
Skin Rejuvenation
Red light stimulates collagen and elastin production, smoothing fine lines and firming skin over time. Clients often report brighter, tighter, and more radiant complexions after regular sessions, especially when combined with my facial treatments.
Pain & Inflammation Relief
I regularly recommend red light therapy to clients managing joint pain, muscle tension, or inflammation. Whether it’s post-workout soreness, arthritis, or general fatigue, the anti-inflammatory effects of red light therapy can offer real, measurable relief.
Faster Recovery
Athletes and active clients love how this therapy speeds muscle recovery and reduces downtime after workouts or injuries. It’s an excellent complement to the studio's massage therapy and body sculpting services.
Hair Regrowth Support
Emerging research and clinical use support red light therapy stimulating dormant hair follicles. I often recommend this for men and women experiencing early signs of thinning hair or alopecia.

What Does It Cost?
At Dynamic Rejuvenation, red light therapy is priced to be accessible and effective:
Single Session: $35
5-Pack: $149
Add-on to Any Service: $20
If you’re already coming in for facials, body contouring, or IV therapy, I highly recommend adding red light to amplify your results and recovery.
Getting the Most Out of Your Sessions
To ensure red light therapy works for you, here’s what I guide my clients through:
Choose High-Quality, FDA-Cleared Devices
I only use professional-grade, FDA-cleared red light panels to ensure maximum efficacy and safety. Don’t settle for low-output home devices unless proven to deliver the correct dose.
Be Consistent
I recommend clients commit to 2–3 weekly sessions for at least 4–6 weeks to begin noticing measurable improvements. Consistency is key in treating skin, pain, or energy levels.
Keep Sessions Brief but Regular
Each session lasts about 10–20 minutes. I ensure that treatments are time-efficient and relaxing so that you can easily fit them into your schedule.
Always Protect Your Eyes
I provide eye protection during in-office sessions to shield you from overexposure. If you're using a device at home, don't skip the goggles!
Are There Any Side Effects?
Red light therapy is extremely well-tolerated by most people. That said, here are a few things I always discuss during consultations:
Mild Redness or Warmth: Occasionally, clients may feel a mild warmth or slight redness, similar to a light sun-kissed glow. This is temporary.
Photosensitivity Caution: Those on medications that increase light sensitivity—or with certain skin conditions—should speak with me before starting sessions.
Pregnancy or Medical Concerns: Always consult a provider if you’re pregnant or have a medical history that may impact treatment safety. I’m happy to walk you through those considerations.
Real Results from My Clients
Clients have shared incredible results—from smoother skin to more energy and less pain. One client told me:
“I used red light therapy as an add-on to my facial, and I was amazed at how vibrant and hydrated my skin looked afterward. I felt relaxed and energized the rest of the day!”
Another client, who experiences chronic shoulder pain, noted:
“I didn’t expect much from a light, but wow—after three sessions, I noticed a huge difference in mobility and pain. I’m a believer.”
