Red light therapy is gaining serious attention, and for good reason!
At Concordia Clinic, we’re passionate about advanced treatments that genuinely work – and red light therapy is no exception.
This non-invasive treatment provides tangible and noticeable benefits for skin rejuvenation, inflammation reduction, and better overall wellness.
Let’s break down the science, the benefits, and how you can start seeing results fast.
What Does Red Light Therapy Do?
Red light therapy (RLT), sometimes called low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, uses safe, low-wavelength red light to stimulate cells beneath the surface of your skin. It’s completely non-invasive, pain-free, and clinically backed.
But what does red light therapy do at a biological level?
Red light penetrates deep into the skin, reaching the mitochondria. Mitochondria are tiny structures inside your cells that act like energy powerplants. This helps boost the production of ATP (your cells’ energy source).
In short, it supercharges your healing process and offers a range of fantastic benefits, both inside and outside.
What Does Red Light Therapy Do for Your Skin?
Red light therapy doesn’t just improve how your skin looks, it renews how it works at a deeper level by stimulating collagen, accelerating cell turnover, and reducing inflammation. This makes it a powerful and non-invasive solution for a wide range of skin concerns, with zero downtime.
Here’s how red light therapy can transform your skin:
-
- Anti-aging and rejuvenation: Smooths fine lines and wrinkles while firming and refreshing tired, dull skin.
- Wound healing and scar reduction: Speeds up healing and fades scarring by supporting tissue repair.
- Acne treatment: Reduces breakouts by calming inflammation and balancing oil production.
- Inflammation and redness: Soothes conditions like rosacea and leaves skin feeling calm and balanced.
- Sun damage: Helps repair UV-related damage and improves overall skin tone.
- Hyperpigmentation and dark spots: Fades uneven pigmentation for a clearer and brighter complexion.
Red light therapy doesn’t just improve the way your skin looks, it restores the way it functions.
What Conditions Does Red Light Therapy Treat?
Red light therapy is more than just a beauty treatment. It supports your skin, body, and mind in powerful ways. Working at a cellular level, it helps your body to renew and feel better from the inside out.
Here are some of the conditions that red light therapy can aid with:
-
-
- Skin conditions: Calms and improves acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and sun-damaged skin.
- Aesthetic concerns: Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and visible scarring by boosting collagen.
- Healing and recovery: Speeds up wound healing, reduces inflammation, and eases arthritis or muscle pain.
- Hair growth: Stimulates hair follicles and promotes re-growth, especially in cases of androgenetic alopecia.
- Mood enhancement: Helps lift low moods and may relieve symptoms of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and depression.

What Happens During An RLT Appointment?
1. Arrival and Consultation
-
-
- If it’s your first session, the therapist or technician might do a quick consultation to understand your goals (e.g skin health, pain relief, mood, muscle recovery).
- They’ll explain how the therapy works and what to expect.
- You may be asked about medical conditions, medications, or any skin sensitivities.
-
2. Preparation
-
-
- Depending on the treatment area, you may be asked to remove clothing (e.g. if it’s for back pain or full-body treatment).
- Protective eyewear is often provided if the light is very bright or if the area being treated is near the eyes.
- Skin should be clean and free of lotions, oils, or makeup (you might be asked to cleanse beforehand).
-
3. The Treatment
-
- You’ll either stand, sit, or lie down in front of or under red and near-infrared LED lights or lasers.
- The session usually lasts around 10 to 20 minutes, sometimes up to 30 minutes for larger areas or full-body treatments.
- Most people feel a gentle warmth, but it’s not hot or painful.
- You don’t need to do anything during the session – just relax!
4. Post-Treatment
-
-
- There’s no downtime – you can go about your day immediately.
- Your skin might feel a little warm or tingly, but it’s usually mild.
- Some people notice benefits right away (like pain relief or glowing skin) for others, it builds over time with regular sessions.

FAQs
Is Red Light Therapy Safe?
Yes, red light therapy is a very safe healthcare treatment when used correctly.
It’s non-invasive, painless, and doesn’t involve harmful UV rays. At Concordia Clinic, we use medical-grade equipment and follow expert protocols to ensure a safe and effective experience for every client.
There’s no recovery needed after the treatment, and it’s gentle enough for almost all skin types – even sensitive skin.
Does RLT Have Side Effects?
Red light therapy has minimal to no side effects. Some people might experience temporary redness, warmth, headaches, or tightness in the treated area. These effects usually fade within a few hours.
When administered by trained professionals, RLT is both low-risk and highly beneficial for skin and overall wellness.
If you have any underlying health conditions or concerns, it’s always best to check in with your healthcare provider first. If you’re looking for expert guidance, the team at Concordia Clinic is here to help you every step of the way.
Do At-Home Red Light Therapy Devices Work?
At-home red light therapy can offer mild benefits, but they are often less powerful than professional-grade systems.
This means results might take longer to appear or may not be as noticeable. If you’re looking for faster, more visible improvements, in-clinic treatments at Concordia Clinic deliver superior outcomes thanks to advanced technology and expert guidance.
How Often Should I Use Red Light Therapy?
The ideal frequency depends on your goals and skin concerns.
For most people, two to three sessions per week is a great place to start. Some clients notice improvements after just a few treatments, while others benefit from a consistent routine over several weeks.
Simply contact our team and we’ll help you create a bespoke plan tailored to your skin and wellness needs, ensuring you get the most out of every session.
