Red & Infrared Light Therapy

Enhance Your Massage with Targeted Red & Infrared Light Therapy

Enhance your massage session by adding Red & Near-Infrared Light Therapy for focused, results-driven support. This enhancement uses 660nm red light to help promote surface-level circulation and skin vitality, while 850nm near-infrared light penetrates deeper into muscle tissue to support relaxation and recovery in targeted areas.

When layered into your massage, the light is positioned over specific tight or overworked muscles, complementing your therapist’s hands-on work at a deeper level. This combination can help muscles respond more efficiently, ease stubborn tension, and leave you feeling more restored—especially in areas like the neck, shoulders, lower back, or post-workout muscle groups.

It’s a seamless upgrade designed to deepen your results, not replace your massage.

Who It’s Best For

Red & Infrared Light Therapy for Face & Body is ideal for individuals seeking targeted support for muscle tension, recovery, and circulation. Whether you're an active individual, a desk worker with neck and shoulder tightness, recovering from workouts, or managing everyday stiffness, this enhancement can help support relaxation and tissue recovery. When paired with massage, it adds focused warmth and cellular support to areas that need extra attention.

Who Should Not Use It

Red & Infrared Light Therapy is a safe and supportive enhancement for many clients, but it may not be appropriate for everyone. This add-on should be avoided if you have known light sensitivity, are taking photosensitizing medications, have active cancer in the treatment area, open wounds, active skin infections, or implanted medical devices near the target area without physician approval. If you are pregnant or currently under medical care, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before adding light therapy to your session. Your safety and comfort are always our priority.

What to Expect During Your Session

We position the lamp over a specific area while your massage continues. Most clients experience gentle warmth. This is an enhancement (not a separate appointment) and is designed to layer seamlessly into your session.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 660nm red light works at the surface level of the skin and tissue. It is commonly used to support healthy circulation, promote skin vitality, and encourage the body’s natural recovery processes. When added to massage, it may help improve comfort and relaxation in targeted areas.

  • 850nm near-infrared light penetrates deeper into muscle and connective tissue than red light. It is often used to support muscle recovery, ease stiffness, and promote deeper relaxation in focused areas like the lower back, shoulders, or hips.

  • Red & Infrared Light Therapy is available as a massage enhancement only. It is designed to complement your massage session, not replace it.

  • You may benefit from this enhancement if you:

    • Have a specific tight or sore area

    • Experience recurring stiffness

    • Are recovering from workouts

    • Lower back

    • Neck and shoulders

    • Hips and glutes

    • Knees

    • Post-workout muscle groups (quads, hamstrings, calves)

    This enhancement works best when focused on one or two areas during your session.

  • Most clients experience a gentle, soothing warmth. The treatment is non-invasive and should feel comfortable and relaxing. There is no pain or discomfort.

  • Frequency depends on your goals. Some clients add it occasionally for extra support in tight areas, while others include it for a few consecutive sessions when focusing on recovery or ongoing tension.

  • No, not all providers offer Red & Infrared Light Therapy. Availability may vary by therapist and location.

    Please check which providers in your area offer this enhancement at the time of booking, or contact us for assistance selecting the right therapist for your session.

  • Yes. Protective red light therapy glasses are available during your session to help reduce brightness and support eye comfort.

    Our light therapy glasses are specifically designed to attenuate the commonly used red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) wavelengths. Unlike regular sunglasses, these glasses are made to reduce light intensity while still allowing visible light through, helping protect your eyes during treatment.

    Because red and near-infrared wavelengths can penetrate deeply, proper eye protection is important. Clients can choose from different levels of light reduction for added comfort.

    The glasses are lightweight, anti-scratch, and designed for a secure yet comfortable fit throughout your session.

  • Red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light therapy may create a gentle warming sensation in the targeted area, but it is not the same as a heating pad or infrared sauna.

    The 660nm red light works primarily at the surface level and produces minimal noticeable heat. The 850nm near-infrared light penetrates deeper into muscle tissue and may slightly increase local warmth, which can support circulation and relaxation.

    Most clients experience mild, comfortable warmth — never burning or excessive heat. If at any time the area feels too warm, the device can be adjusted immediately for comfort.
