What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy uses panels of LEDs that give off low-level red and near-infrared light while you sit or stand nearby. It does not use UV light and does not tan or burn the skin.

Researchers call it photobiomodulation. The idea is that certain wavelengths of light are absorbed by the energy-producing parts of cells (mitochondria).

This page is for dedicated red light sessions. HaloSauna includes a built-in red light panel during sauna time β€” a different experience. See HaloSauna.

What the Research Says

What Many Clients Use Red Light For

β€”β€” ✿ β€”β€”

Red light is widely studied, but research quality is mixed and results depend on the device, dose and number of sessions. Here is how clients commonly use it.

Skin Tone & Texture

Some studies found red light sessions over several weeks may support smoother-looking skin and improved skin tone and texture.

Post-Workout Recovery

Research in athletes suggests light before or after exercise may support muscle recovery and reduce post-workout soreness for some people.

Everyday Aches

Many clients use red light as a relaxing add-on for everyday muscle and joint stiffness.

A Simple Wellness Habit

Because sessions are short and have no downtime, many clients pair red light with other recovery amenities.

Most benefits, if any, build over repeated sessions. Red light is not a substitute for medical or dermatology care.

Questions

Red Light Questions

β€”β€” ✿ β€”β€”

When can I book red light therapy?

Dedicated red light opens with our Atlantic Park lounge in Winter 2026–2027. We cannot book it until then. Text 757-434-8059 or call to join the interest list.

Is it the same as tanning?

No. Red light therapy does not use UV light and does not tan the skin.

Is this the same as HaloSauna red light?

No. HaloSauna includes a built-in red light panel during your sauna session. This page is for dedicated red light sessions on their own. See HaloSauna β†’

How often do people come?

Studies usually use several sessions a week for a number of weeks, so results, if any, come from consistency rather than one visit.

Does it hurt?

No. Most guests feel only gentle warmth.

Can members use recovery credits?

Yes β€” recovery credits for red light will apply once the lounge opens. Exact amounts will be confirmed at opening.

Where is the lounge?

Atlantic Park, 415 19th St, Suite 106, Virginia Beach, VA 23451. Mobile IV appointments are available now.
