Benefits of Red-Light Therapy:

  • Non-invasive procedure for maximum comfort

  • Accelerates the body’s natural healing processes
  • Reduces appearance of fine lines & wrinkles
  • Minimizes inflammation, such as sore muscles or joint pain
  • Improves mood to lessen anxiety & fatigue

How It Works

This technology delivers red and near-infrared light wavelengths between approximately 620 and 1000 nanometers in controlled pulses that penetrate the upper layers of the skin. These light signals are absorbed by cells and mitochondria, which helps activate natural cellular processes involved in repair and renewal.

As the cells respond to light energy, skin tissue begins to regenerate more efficiently while inflammation may gradually decrease. The treatment also encourages the production of collagen and elastin, two key proteins responsible for skin strength and elasticity. With continued use, skin may appear firmer and smoother while fine lines and wrinkles become less noticeable. Many people also notice improvements in uneven tone, including melasma, scarring, and sun-related skin changes.

Red light therapy (RLT) is a safe, non-invasive treatment that improves numerous signs of aging skin as well as providing additional healing benefits. It’s a simple procedure—patients lay horizontally in the RLT bed, removing reflective jewelry and clothing to uncover specific areas of the body that need treatment. Protective eyewear is provided for the duration of treatment for the patient’s safety and comfort.

Patients can individualize their treatment to combine different types of wavelengths, set lower or higher levels of intensity, and control the length of each treatment session. At 11:Eleven, we recommend an average of 2-3 sessions per week for an average of10-15 minutes per treatment, depending on your health concerns and wellness goals.

What Is Light Therapy?

Light therapy has been used as a therapeutic recovery method as far back as ancient Egypt. Since its origin, this treatment has evolved into numerous restorative applications and can be classified by several names, such as photo biomodulation (PBM) therapy, LED light therapy, intense pulsed light therapy (IPL), or red-light therapy (RLT).

In particular, red and near infrared light are the best wavelengths for penetrating into the skin and healing the body without the risk of any harmful electromagnetic fields (EMFs) or UV rays.

RLT is not only fantastic for aesthetic purposes, but it improves cellular healing processes that alleviate inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, pain from old injuries, and general muscle and joint soreness. However, other colors of light like blue, green, and yellow, have less intense wavelengths that can also be applied for a gentler treatment session.

Revian

  • What is the Revian Red Hair Growth System?
  • REVIAN RED is a wearable low-level light therapy device that uses advanced LED technology to support natural hair regrowth and help reduce DHT levels associated with hair thinning. Clinical research has shown that consistent use of this technology can encourage healthier hair follicles and improve hair density over time.
  • With only about 10 minutes of daily use, the device delivers light therapy across the scalp through a flexible, full-coverage design. It is built to reach common areas affected by thinning, including the crown, hairline, and donor regions. The hands-free design allows users to complete treatment comfortably while continuing with daily activities.
  • What does it treat/who is it for? Red light therapy can help stimulate hair follicles, support thicker hair growth, and reduce the appearance of thinning or shedding. REVIAN RED is designed to help manage androgenetic alopecia and encourage hair regrowth in men experiencing Norwood-Hamilton Classifications IIa through V patterns of hair loss. The treatment is also intended for women experiencing androgenetic alopecia who fall within Ludwig-Savin Scale classifications I-1 through I-4, II-1, II-2, or frontal pattern hair loss. REVIAN RED is suitable for individuals with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I through IV.
  • How does it work? Patented Dual-Wavelength Technology with 119 medical-grade LEDs promote hair growth by enhancing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and inhibiting DHT through natural nitric oxide production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive procedure that uses certain powerful wavelengths of light to accelerate healing factors in the skin, muscles, tissue, and overall body.

What does treatment feel like? Does it hurt?

As the treatment increases blood flow within the circulatory system, patients will experience a comfortable, relaxing warmth as their internal temperature increases. The Summer Body Multiwave 7 Plus bed will never be too hot for your comfort thanks to its automatic cooling regulation system. The sessions are short and vary in intensity based on the patient’s sensitivity.

What is pre-treatment protocol?

We recommend scheduling a free consultation with our medical professionals to determine if red light therapy is the best solution for you. Before a treatment session, make sure to wear clothes that don’t cover up the areas of the body you’d like to treat. If you feel comfortable wearing underwear, that is also an option. We also recommend taking off any flashy, reflective jewelry. For your safety, protective eyewear is provided.

Is this red light therapy bed effective?

At 11:Eleven, we use the Summer Body Multiwave 7 Plus infrared red light therapy bed. This model allows for greater flexibility for patients who want to combine different types of wavelengths, set lower or higher levels of intensity, or target personal medical conditions. Plus, it evenly treats the whole body for more consistent results.

What does red light therapy (RLT) treat?

Consistent RLT sessions increase collagen and elastin production that helps to tighten and lift aging skin, while improving fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and more. In addition to aesthetic applications, RLT accelerates the healing of wounds, injuries, and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and other chronic joint pain. This treatment can even provide more extraneous benefits such as hair growth, less facial acne, and improved depression and anxiety.

Are there side effects?

Many patients report feeling relaxed and full of bliss immediately following treatment. RLT typically improves mental clarity and overall energy, relaxes sore muscles, and positively effects mood and quality of sleep.

How often should I receive treatment?

At 11:Eleven, our experts recommend 2 or 3 sessions per week for a span of 4-12 weeks. Patients can speak with our Medical Director, Dr. Nanda, to schedule RLT treatments that work best for their specific needs. Fortunately, sessions are quick (10-15 minutes maximum) and require no downtime!
