Red Light Therapy

At Be Well Bodyworks, we’ve brought professional-grade red light therapy to downtown Longmont. Enjoy this quiet, science-backed tool for reducing inflammation, accelerating recovery, and supporting your skin from the inside out.

What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light — typically between 630 and 850 nanometers — to penetrate the skin and interact with cells at a mitochondrial level. This stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), your body’s primary cellular energy source, triggering natural repair and regeneration processes.

Unlike UV light, red light does not damage the skin. Sessions are non-invasive, painless, and require no downtime. You simply relax under the light panel while the wavelengths go to work, supporting everything from muscle recovery to collagen production.

Be Well Bodyworks is proud to offer this modality as part of our commitment to whole-body wellness in the Longmont community. Whether you’re coming in for a standalone red light session or pairing it with one of our therapeutic massages, we’re here to support your healing.

What red light therapy supports

Pain Relief & Inflammation

Red light therapy has been shown to reduce markers of inflammation and modulate the body’s pain signaling pathways, offering relief for conditions like arthritis, joint pain, and chronic muscle soreness without medication.

Muscle Recovery & Athletic Performance

Athletes and active individuals use red light therapy to reduce exercise-induced muscle damage, speed up recovery between training sessions, and improve endurance. It’s a favorite among Colorado’s outdoor community for good reason.

Skin Rejuvenation & Collagen

By stimulating fibroblast activity, red light promotes collagen and elastin production, visibly improving skin tone, texture, and firmness over time. It’s used clinically for fine lines, acne, and wound healing.

Mood & Sleep Support

Emerging research suggests red and near-infrared light may support the body’s circadian rhythm and serotonin pathways, helping regulate sleep quality and supporting a more balanced mood, especially during Colorado’s darker months.

Injury Rehabilitation

Red light therapy supports cellular repair in soft tissue, tendons, and nerves, making it a valuable complement to massage therapy and other rehabilitative care for those recovering from injury or chronic pain conditions.

Overall Cellular Health

At its core, red light therapy supports mitochondrial function, the engine of every cell in your body. When your cells have more energy, your entire system works better: healing faster, aging more slowly, and simply feeling more vital.

Common Questions About Red Light Therapy

Is red light therapy safe?
Yes. Red light therapy is non-ionizing and does not damage DNA or tissue the way UV light can. It is considered safe for most people and has been cleared by the FDA for certain uses. Our team will review any contraindications with you before your first session.

How long does a red light therapy session take?
Sessions at Be Well Bodyworks typically run 10–20 minutes depending on your goals and the areas being treated. Most clients feel relaxed and energized immediately afterward, with no recovery period needed.

How many sessions do I need to see results?
Like most wellness modalities, consistency matters. Many clients notice improvements after 3–5 sessions, with more significant and lasting results developing over 8–12 sessions. We often recommend pairing red light therapy with massage for a compounding effect on pain and inflammation.

Can I combine red light therapy with massage?
Absolutely, and we encourage it. Red light therapy before a massage can help warm and loosen tissue, while post-massage red light supports cellular recovery and reduces any residual inflammation. Our team can help you design a session sequence that makes sense for your body.

Who should not use red light therapy?
People who are pregnant, have active cancer, are taking photosensitizing medications, or have certain light-sensitive skin conditions should consult their physician before beginning red light therapy. We’re happy to discuss your individual health history before booking.

The Be Well Approach

Better together — red light & massage

For more than 20 years, Be Well Bodyworks has built its reputation on something simple: helping people feel genuinely better. Not just in the moment, but consistently, over time.

Red light therapy fits naturally into that philosophy. On its own, it’s a powerful tool. Paired with one of our therapeutic massage services, it becomes part of a truly integrated approach to recovery and wellness.

The people who feel their best aren’t coming in occasionally. They’re consistent. Be Well is the place you return to, and red light therapy gives you one more reason to make that return worth it.
