Stack Only Red Light Therapy (RLT)

About the Appointment

What Is Red Light Therapy? Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular function, accelerate healing, and reduce inflammation. When you lie in a Red Light Therapy bed, light penetrates deep into your skin and tissues. These wavelengths interact with your mitochondria—your cells’ power plants—helping them produce more ATP (energy), reduce oxidative stress, and improve circulation. The result? Faster recovery, less pain, improved skin health, better sleep, and greater overall vitality. Originally used in medical and NASA applications, Red Light Therapy is now widely adopted for wellness, recovery, and performance across sports, dermatology, and integrative health. How Red Light Therapy Works Red Light Therapy works through a cellular process called photobiomodulation (PBM)—where specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light stimulate healing, repair, and energy production at the mitochondrial level. When red light enters your body, it’s absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme in your cells’ mitochondria. This light absorption: Boosts ATP production, giving your cells more energy to repair and regenerate Releases nitric oxide,  improving blood flow and circulation to injured or inflamed areas Modulates reactive oxygen species (ROS), balancing oxidative stress and reducing inflammation Activates anti-inflammatory pathways, decreasing pain and swelling Broad-spectrum devices, like the full-body RLT beds used at OutRecover, emit a range of therapeutic wavelengths—from superficial to deep-penetrating—to engage healing across multiple tissue layers, from skin to joints to muscle. Why OutRecover Clients Use Red Light Therapy At OutRecover, our clients use RLT beds to support recovery, reduce inflammation, and optimize performance. It’s especially helpful if you’re: Recovering from surgery,  injuries or overuse Dealing with joint, tendon, or muscle pain Managing chronic inflammation, swelling, or neuropathy Recovering from workouts or training cycles Looking to improve sleep, circulation, or mood Whether you’re an athlete recovering from a tough session, a patient healing from surgery, or someone seeking deeper, more restful sleep—RLT supports recovery at the cellular level. What Clients Should Know A typical session lasts 15–20 minutes Red Light Therapy is painless, non-invasive, and deeply relaxing You may feel gentle warmth or tingling as your cells absorb the light Benefits accumulate with consistency—most clients see results over time     When Red Light Therapy Should Be Avoided Red Light Therapy is generally considered very safe, but it may not be appropriate for everyone. Speak with your provider before starting RLT if you: Are pregnant Have a known photosensitivity or take light-sensitizing medications Have active cancer or tumors Are recovering from eye surgery or have unmanaged retinal conditions Stacking Recommendations for Full-Body Red Light Therapy (RLT) Red Light Therapy pairs well with all OutRecover modalities, making it one of the most versatile tools in the recovery stack. It works especially well when combined with PEMF, HBOT, compression, and high-performance modalities like OxeFit, KAATSU, AI Bike, and Responsive Oxygen Therapy (ROT). That’s because red light energizes the body at a cellular level—priming mitochondria, enhancing circulation, and reducing inflammation—which amplifies the impact of oxygen-based, vascular, and muscle-driven therapies. Whether used before to boost performance or after to accelerate recovery, Red Light Therapy supercharges the effectiveness of nearly every other treatment it’s stacked with.
