Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that utilises targeted red and near-infrared wavelengths to support the body’s natural repair and rejuvenation processes. By stimulating ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production—the energy source your cells need to function—red light treatments help improve skin appearance, support recovery, and promote overall well-being.

Proven Red Light Therapy Benefits
Minimises Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Powerful red and near-infrared light stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
Reduces Inflammation and Redness
Anti-inflammatory effects can help calm redness and irritation, supporting healing for skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, and acne.
Supports Skin Healing
Red light therapy accelerates tissue repair, promoting faster healing of wounds, burns, scars, and stretch marks. Increased collagen and elastin also help to improve the look of cellulite.
Promotes Relaxation
By mimicking the most soothing wavelengths of natural light, red light treatments help regulate your body’s circadian rhythm, signalling when it’s time to rest and promoting a healthier sleep-wake cycle.
Improves Sleep Quality
Gentle red and near-infrared wavelengths stimulate the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep, helping to encourage deeper, restorative sleep.
Boosts Energy
Red light therapy helps combat tiredness by enhancing cellular energy levels, supporting your body’s natural recovery processes, and promoting an overall sense of vitality.
Improves Overall Well-being
Increased serotonin and dopamine production helps to lift your mood, alleviate stress, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Enhances Athletic Performance
Red light boosts the production of ATP, the energy your cells need to perform, helping to enhance muscle health, strength, and endurance.
Accelerates Muscle Recovery
Increased blood flow and ATP production stimulate cell regeneration, easing muscle soreness, reducing DOMS, and accelerating healing.
Supports Injury Healing
Red light therapy promotes the repair of muscle and connective tissue, accelerating the healing of sports-related injuries and minimising downtime.
Reduces Inflammation
Increased cellular activity and enhanced blood flow help alleviate inflammation in muscles and joints - ideal for relieving pain from acute sports’ injuries.
Physical Healing
Red light therapy helps calm inflammation by boosting cellular repair and regeneration, supporting the body’s natural healing processes, and promoting balance from within.
Alleviates Pain
By improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and encouraging lymphatic drainage, red light therapy can ease chronic pain and support long-term relief and recovery.
Decreases Joint Inflammation
Increased ATP production reduces inflammation and supports mobility, relieving joint pain, discomfort, and stiffness, and supporting conditions such as arthritis.
Improves Circulation
Full-body red light therapy helps to improve blood flow, increase oxygen levels, and flush out toxins, contributing to an overall sense of vitality and wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light or PBM therapy is an advanced light treatment that uses low-level red and near-infrared wavelengths to boost the body’s natural repair and rejuvenation processes. The non-invasive LED light stimulates energy production within the cells’ mitochondria, which helps accelerate repair, reduce inflammation, and support healthy function.
Is Red Light Therapy Safe?
Yes, experts generally consider red light therapy to be safe. When used in a responsible and controlled environment, such as The Tanning Shop, red light exposure has no known side effects.
What Conditions Can Red Light Therapy Help Support?
Research shows the effectiveness of red light in supporting a range of conditions, including:
- Chronic pain and inflammation, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and musculoskeletal pain
- Acute pain, including injury, muscle soreness, migraines, and menstrual pain
- Wound healing and post-surgical recovery
- Circulatory issues
- Anti-ageing and wrinkle reduction
- Cellulite and scars
- Anxiety, depression, and stress
- Fatigue and low energy
How Long is a Red Light Session and How Often Should I Book?
Red light sessions at The Tanning Shop are 15 minutes long. Depending on your personal goals, we recommend booking three to six sessions per week, giving yourself at least one day off.
How Long Will It Take to See Results?
You may see red light therapy bed benefits as early as your first few sessions, while others may notice results after several weeks or months of consistent therapy. Various factors, including age, skin type, frequency of sessions, and condition, influence the speed of results.
Can I Use Red Light Therapy Beds Every Day?
Our red light therapy beds are safe for daily use, particularly for treating conditions such as chronic pain or skin healing. However, we recommend up to six initial treatments per week before reducing to less frequent maintenance sessions, depending on your individual needs. Our trained specialists will advise you on the best number and frequency of treatments during your free wellness consultation.
What Should I Wear on a Red Light Bed?
You can wear whatever makes you most comfortable during a red light therapy full-body treatment. Remember to expose any area you wish to treat to the light.
All our treatment rooms are completely private, so you’re welcome to wear underwear or be nude for the treatment to feel the full-body effects.
Do I Need to Wear Eye Protection?
Yes, we provide complimentary protective eye goggles for all red light therapy sessions.
Can I Use a Sunbed on the Same Day as a Red Light Session?
You can book both UV tanning and red light treatments on the same day, provided you leave a few hours between sessions. Some evidence suggests that undergoing red light therapy before using a sunbed can produce a better tan, although this has not been scientifically proven.
