Are you struggling with chronic inflammation, low energy, or aches and pains? Then red light therapy may be for you! At Affinity Acupuncture, we love incorporating red light therapy into our treatment plans because it offers so many benefits.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy was originally developed by NASA as a way to help astronauts maintain good health while in space. Now, red light therapy has become more mainstream because of its’ long list of benefits and established safety profile. Red light therapy provides powerful results for inflammation, pain, healing, fine lines, acne, scars, hair loss, non-healing wounds, and more.
Our professional grade lamp also includes blue and infrared light therapies. Blue light wave lengths target and destroy bacteria and viruses on the skin. This makes blue light an excellent option for treating stubborn acne or other skin infections. Infrared light is not actually visible to the naked eye but is felt as heat. The combination of red, blue, and infrared light therapies make for a powerful impact on numerous health concerns.
What Does a Red Light Therapy Session Look Like?
The beauty of red light therapy is how simple yet effective it is. A typically session takes 20-30 minutes. You can easily book your spot online or give us a call/text at (406) 272-0474. Plus, you get to try your first session free!
At a session, you will be taken to our private Rejuvenation Room. A staff member will walk you through the process.
- Undress to your level of comfort. Red light therapy is absorbed through the skin so the more skin exposed the more benefit to your body. Don’t worry – you will have the Rejuvenation Room all to yourself throughout the entire session.
- Grab eye protection. Red light therapy utilizes very powerful LEDs so eye protection is key.
- Push start and relax. Start the red light then get comfortable on the table and relax! You’ll feel infrared heat from the mat on the treatment table and soak in the red light therapy from above. The red light device will automatically shut off after 20 minutes. Take your time getting off the table and you’re done!
For best results, we typically recommend red light therapy 1-2x/week for 10 sessions. You can book your first session for free online then additional sessions are $40 each or you can purchase a package of 10 for $250.
