How Red Light Therapy Works
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular energy production.
Light Absorption
Red and near-infrared light (630–850nm) penetrates the skin and is absorbed by photoreceptors in your cells called cytochrome c oxidase.
ATP Production
The absorbed light energy enhances mitochondrial function, increasing ATP (cellular energy) production, according to laboratory research.
Cellular Regeneration
With more energy available, cells can repair damage, produce collagen, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing processes.

Red Light Therapy Toronto: How It Complements Your Cryotherapy
Our studio is built around cryotherapy, and red light therapy is offered as an add-on service alongside it. If you are looking for red light therapy in North York, here is how it fits with a cold session and what we can honestly say about results.
Cold versus light: two different tools
Cryotherapy is brief and intense — two to three minutes in the cryosauna, or a targeted stream of cold air on one zone. Red light therapy is the opposite experience: a calm 10–20 minute session under light in the 630–850 nm range, which runs from visible red into longer wavelengths the eye barely registers. Because one takes minutes and the other is a longer, quieter session, the two are easy to book back to back in a single visit.
What does the evidence say?
Research on red light (often called photobiomodulation) is growing, with studies on skin appearance, muscle recovery and joint discomfort, but results are mixed and depend on dose, wavelength and device. We present it as a complement to cryotherapy and to your regular care, not as a treatment for any medical condition. Our red light therapy benefits guide takes a closer look at the research.
