Red light / NIR (Near INfrared) Therapy

What is Red Light Therapy and NIR (Near Infrared Therapy)?

Red Light Therapy penetrates down to the dermal layer of the skin to address collagen production, fine lines and wrinkles and inflammation. The wavelength produced by Red Light Therapy panels can be absorbed by the mitochondria (the battery of all cells) in the body,

While red light is visible, NIR light is invisible and penetrates deeper into the body. Both types of light therapy are believed to enhance cellular energy production and have various potential health benefits.

During your session, you’ll be in a private room where you can lounge, sit or stand in front of therapy panels. Both panels produce red light and NIR. A trained staff member will go over any questions you might have, turn on the Red Light Therapy machine and then leave to give you privacy. Clients usually remove their clothes or wear minimal clothing to allow their skin to soak up the maximum amount of light during their session. You’ll feel a mild warmth coming from the lights. We recommend that clients do not look directly at the lights during their session or touch the equipment. We provide goggles or you can wear your own sunglasses. We encourage clients to close their eyes, relax and let the healing begin! Therapy sessions recommended 3-5 times a week.

Red Light vs. Near Infrared: What's the Difference?

Red light is visible to the eye and works closer to the surface, penetrating to the dermal layer of the skin, where it's associated with collagen production, fine lines and wrinkles, and inflammation. Near-infrared light is invisible and penetrates deeper into the body. Both are absorbed by the mitochondria — the battery of the cell — and both are believed to support cellular energy production.

You don't have to choose between them. Both panels in our Harleysville therapy room produce red light and NIR at the same time, so every session gives you both.

Who Red Light Therapy Is For

Clients typically come to us for skin and anti-aging goals, post-workout and general recovery, body composition support, or as part of a broader wellness routine. Because sessions are short and don't require a clinical referral, most people fold them into an existing schedule rather than treating them as an appointment. We recommend 3–5 sessions per week for best results, which is why most regulars use the 10-session membership rather than paying per session.

Benefits of red light therapy may include:

• Improved mood, energy, and sleep

• Reduced pain and inflammation

• Increased collagen production — healthy skin, tightening and firming

• Improved eye health

• Stimulating fat cells to release, aiding in weight loss

• Boosting metabolism to use energy more efficiently, supporting calorie burn

Frequently Asked Questions about light therapy

Please reach us at frontdeskprodigodayspa@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate down to the dermal layer of the skin, where it's associated with collagen production, fine lines and wrinkles, and inflammation. The wavelengths can be absorbed by the mitochondria — the battery of all cells — in the body.

What's the difference between red light and near-infrared (NIR)?

Red light is visible and works closer to the skin's surface. NIR light is invisible and penetrates deeper into the body. Both are believed to enhance cellular energy production. At Prodigo, both panels produce red light and NIR together, so every session includes both.

How much does red light therapy cost in Harleysville, PA?

A single 10-minute session is $25 and a single 20-minute session is $45. A 5-session package of 10-minute sessions is $99 (regularly $125). Our red light therapy membership covers ten 10-minute sessions for $199, regularly $250.

Can red light therapy help with weight loss?

Red light therapy is not a weight loss treatment on its own, and we don't present it as one. What it may do is stimulate fat cells to release and support your metabolism in using energy more efficiently, which can support calorie burn alongside your own diet and activity. Clients pursuing body composition goals generally see it as one input among several, and results depend on consistency — which is why we recommend 3 to 5 sessions per week.

How often should I do red light therapy?

We recommend 3 to 5 sessions per week. Because red light therapy works cumulatively, consistency matters more than session length, which is why most of our regular clients use the 10-session membership rather than booking one session at a time.

Do I need an appointment or a referral?

No referral or prescription is needed. You can book online any time, or call us at (215) 256-1191 and we'll do our best to accommodate same-day requests when the schedule allows.

How is red light therapy different from your LifeWave phototherapy patches?

Red light therapy uses LED panels in a private room at the spa for a 10- or 20-minute session. LifeWave X39 patches are wearable, roughly the size of a quarter, and use your own body heat and infrared energy rather than an external light source. They're separate services — some clients use both.
