Q: How does red light therapy work?

Red light therapy works by delivering red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light to photoreceptors in your mitochondria, triggering increased ATP production, enhanced blood flow, reduced inflammation, and accelerated tissue repair at the cellular level.

Q: What is the difference between red and near-infrared light therapy?

Red light penetrates approximately 8–10mm into the skin and is ideal for skin health, collagen production, and surface wound healing. Near-infrared light penetrates up to 2–3 inches deeper, reaching muscles, joints and bones — making it effective for deep tissue repair, chronic pain relief, and muscle recovery. The NovoTHOR delivers both simultaneously.

Q: Is red light therapy safe?

Red light therapy is one of the safest therapeutic modalities available, with no risk of burns, photoaging or skin cancer. The NovoTHOR is certified to international medical-electrical and photobiological safety standards (IEC 60601 / 62471). However, it is not recommended for pregnant women or people with an active cancer diagnosis unless prescribed by a medical doctor.

Our NovoTHOR® system delivers clinically proven red and near-infrared light to your body’s cells – accelerating recovery, reducing inflammation, and restoring energy from the inside out.

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) or low level laser therapy (LLLT), is a type of LED light therapy treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes.

Exposure to red (660 nm) and near-infrared (850 nm) light encourages your mitochondria (where the cell’s energy is generated) to absorb this light energy and produce more ATP – the fuel that powers cell repair, regeneration, and performance.

The results? Improved circulation, faster recovery, skin rejuvenation, and a deep sense of vitality and overall well being.

Why We Use the NovoTHOR Full Body Red Light Therapy Bed

Bed for red light therapy Sydney sessions.

Many clinics offer cheaper, inferior models of red light therapy panels or beds. These may use lower-powered LEDs that don’t penetrate deeper than the skin’s surface, provide inconsistent dosing across the treatment area, lack clinical validation for therapeutic effectiveness, or require significantly longer session times to achieve comparable results – if they deliver results at all.

At The Physicaltherapy Centre, we insist on the very best treatments for our clients. That’s why we use the gold standard in LED light energy technology – the NovoTHOR full body red light therapy bed.

This groundbreaking machine was developed by THOR Photomedicine, pioneers in photobiomodulation therapy with over two decades of clinical research and innovation. Far from being a fad treatment or emerging therapy, the NovoTHOR was engineered through years of collaboration with leading researchers, physicians, and elite sports medicine professionals.

The result is a meticulously calibrated system with NASA-inspired LED technology, medical-grade components, and dosimetry validated through peer-reviewed studies – making it the only whole-body red light therapy device trusted by Olympic training centres, professional sports teams, and military special forces worldwide.

In a single relaxing 15–20-minute session, your body absorbs the therapeutic output of thousands of precisely calibrated LED lights. No heat, no sensation, no harmful UV light – just cellular repair at work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

Red light therapy works by stimulating your body’s ability to heal itself at the cellular level. When red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light penetrates your skin, it’s absorbed by photoreceptors in your mitochondria – the cellular powerhouses that produce ATP, your body’s energy currency.

Red and near-infrared light exposure triggers a cascade of beneficial responses: increased ATP production (up to 150% more cellular energy), enhanced blood flow and circulation, reduced inflammation and oxidative stress, and accelerated connective tissue repair.

Unlike many red light therapy devices which have limited coverage and weak irradiance, the NovoTHOR delivers this powerful, science-backed therapy to your whole body simultaneously.

This evidence-based therapy is backed by over 500 peer-reviewed studies and used to promote healing and performance by NASA, Olympic athletes, professional sports teams, top military units, and leading medical facilities around the world.

What’s the Difference Between Red and Near Infrared Light Therapy?

Red light is visible to the human eye, appearing as a warm red glow. It penetrates approximately 8-10mm into human skin, making it ideal for:

– Promoting improved skin health
– Stimulating collagen production
– Healing surface wounds
– Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
– Enhancing skin tone and facial texture
– Treating superficial skin inflammation

Near-infrared is not visible light and it penetrates much deeper – up to 2-3 inches past the skin’s outer layer. NIR light can reach muscles, joints, and even bones. It’s particularly effective for:

– Deep tissue repair and recovery
– Chronic pain relief
– Muscle recovery and performance
– Bone healing
– Reducing deep inflammation
– Mitochondrial function and cellular energy production

The NovoTHOR light bed uses both red and near-infrared, a powerful therapeutic technique combining two forms of healthy natural light into one full body treatment.

Is Red Light Therapy Safe?

Red light therapy is one of the safest, most well-tolerated therapeutic modalities available, with minimal to no side effects when administered properly.

Clinical research spanning decades has consistently demonstrated red light therapy’s excellent safety profile across diverse populations, from elite athletes to elderly patients with chronic conditions.

There’s no risk of burns, photoaging or skin cancer, as red and near-infrared light don’t generate heat or contain harmful UV rays.

NovoTHOR is the top-of-the-line red light treatment on the market, certified to international medical-electrical and photobiological safety standards (IEC 60601 / 62471), and operating within clinically verified energy parameters.

Does LED Light Therapy Have Any Side Effects?

Side effects are rare with red and near-infrared light treatment. The most commonly reported effects are mild and short-lived, such as temporary skin reddening, occasional slight fatigue immediately after treatment (as your body channels energy into healing), and minor eye strain if proper eye protection isn’t used.

Other forms of LED light therapy pose greater risks, however. Blue LED light therapy treatments, for instance, can help fight acne breakouts, but also potentially worsen certain skin conditions, particularly if your skin is sensitive to blue light.

If you have any existing medical conditions or concerns, consult with a qualified health professional before beginning any course of LED light therapy treatment.

Who Should Not Use Red Light Therapy?

NovoTHOR red light therapy treatments can be enjoyed by almost everyone, regardless of age, fitness level or skin type.

However, pregnant women, and people who have been diagnosed with cancer, should not engage in low level light therapy unless this treatment has been prescribed by a medical doctor.

Individuals with darker skin tones can have higher red light sensitivity than those with lighter skin tones. If you have a darker skin complexion, we recommend starting with shorter session times of 5-10 minutes, and working up from there to 15-20 minutes.

Will Red Light Therapy Work Instantly?

Understanding how red light therapy works helps set realistic expectations: while many clients report feeling relaxed and energised immediately after their first NovoTHOR session, true cellular healing takes time.

Some people notice red light therapy may relieve pain or improve their skin’s appearance within the first few sessions, while more significant improvement in chronic conditions, injury recovery, or performance enhancement typically require consistent treatment over several weeks.

The most dramatic outcomes come from cumulative effects as your cells build momentum in healing and regeneration. Most clients see optimal results with an initial treatment plan of 2-3 sessions per week for 4-8 weeks, followed by maintenance sessions.
