Red Light Therapy
What is Red Light Therapy?
The science
Red Light Therapy is the process of using medical-grade LED lights to deliver concentrated & specific wavelengths of light to the body. The body’s cells are able to absorb these wavelengths of light, using them to stimulate ATP production within the mitochondria which helps our cells produce more energy.
When cellular energy is stimulated, cells are able to more efficiently and more effectively perform their functions, promoting improved overall health and wellness.
What else can red light therapy do?
Hint: it’s a lot
Reduces oxidative stress and increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production.
Promotes healthy cellular function by boosting
new cell growth.
Light therapy helps your body produce and use energy more efficiently. Stimulates collagen production, promoting skin rejuvenation.
Increases blood circulation to damaged tissue.
Aids your body’s natural inflammation reducing process as you recover from illness or injury.

Why red light therapy?
Increase energy, decrease stress and look good while doing it
Light therapy is widely used by wellness professionals and professional athletes alike to improve fitness, elevate physical performance, and enhance the recovery process. Red Light Therapy (RLT) is able to positively affect the body after injuries and workouts by helping your systems to maximize energy use, improve circulation and reduce inflammation ultimately allowing you to heal and recover more efficiently.
Taking in healthy light is crucial for skin cells and health. Red and NIR light promotes balance across the body and skin by enhancing cellular respiration, making energy production more efficient, and decreasing oxidative stress.
When your cells are in greater balance, your skin will look and feel more invigorated.

Benefits
rehabilitation
Find relief and healing
During your session, as your body increases sweat production, your heart will work harder to pump blood at a greater rate to increase circulation. This increase helps muscles and tissues to heal faster, decrease inflammation, and relieve tension, aches, & pain.
pain relief
Faster recovery
Infrared wavelengths provide deep penetrating heat therapy to joints, muscles and tissues by increasing blood circulation and speeding oxygen flow to areas of discomfort.
detoxification
Sweat it out
We are exposed to and retain toxins every day, from the air we breathe to the food we consume. Perspiration is a natural way of expelling toxins from the body. Infrared saunas generate a sweat nearly 700% more detoxifying than traditional steam saunas.
weight loss
Infrared Sauna sessions burn 200-600 calories
During your session, as your body increases sweat production, your heart will work harder to pump blood at a greater rate to increase circulation. This increase in your metabolism will burn calories all while you relax, as well as long after your session ends. Studies show that one 30-minute infrared sauna session can burn up to 600 calories.
anti-aging
Sweat your way to clearer skin
Infrared saunas can help purify your skin by eliminating toxins from your pores & increasing circulation, resulting in clearer, softer, & healthier-looking skin.
stress relief
Don’t stress, sweat
Infrared sauna therapy promotes relaxation by helping to balance your body’s level of cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone.
Why Sweat
the science behind sweat
Inside Out
Our saunas are uniquely crafted to deliver the deepest, healthiest, and most luxurious sweat possible.
While traditional saunas use heat to warm the air, warming your body from the outside in; infrared saunas, use light to create heat in your body from the inside out. Infrared light is invisible to the human eye, yet is powerful enough to penetrate the skin, muscles, joints, and tissues.
When you visit one of our infrared saunas, your body’s reaction is very similar to moderate exercise: your heart rate increases, blood vessels dilate, and sweating increases. When this happens, there’s an increase in blood circulation. The length of time spent in a sauna will also determine the exact response of the body. It’s been noted that the heart rate may increase to between 100 to 150 beats a minute. The physical responses described above, in and of themselves, often bring about health benefits.
invisible light spectrum
NEAR, MID & FAR INFRARED
Penetrate the skin, muscles and joints to improve blood circulation and oxygen flow, and help detoxify the body.
Each Lumos sauna features full-spectrum infrared technology. Full-spectrum refers to the entire infrared spectrum: near, infrared, mid-infrared and far-infrared.
Near-Infrared is the shortest wavelength and will be absorbed just below the surface of the skin creating a sweat that promotes healing and revitalization.
Mid-infrared is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the body’s soft tissue increasing circulation, releasing oxygen to reach injured areas.
Far infrared is the longest wavelength that penetrates the fat cells causing vasodilation, where the fat cells vibrate to expel toxins, resulting in the greatest levels of detoxification and stimulate your metabolism to aid in weight loss.
