Red Light Therapy
Low-level light to calm inflammation.

Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation and support healing at the cellular level. It is non-invasive and comfortable.

Red light therapy session at The Practice Healthcare, May 2026 event

Overview

Red and near-infrared light at specific wavelengths is absorbed by cells and influences how they produce energy. The effects relevant to recovery are reduced inflammation, support for wound healing, and reduced bruising.

It is non-invasive and comfortable. A session involves sitting or lying under a light panel for a set period, with no recovery time of its own.

When it's used

Timed to your recovery, not a menu.

Early recovery

During the inflammatory and bruising phase.

Alongside other services

Scheduled with lymphatic work and skincare when the recovery team expects it to help.

On schedule

Sessions set by the recovery team.

Who it's for

A broad range of recovery cases. It is added to the protocol alongside other services rather than used on its own.

Every aftercare service is coordinated directly between your surgeon and your recovery providers. Nothing is handed off, and nothing is added without a reason specific to your case.
