Healing on a Cellular Level with Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation, is a standout therapy with a host of wellness benefits. It helps the body heal naturally, reduces inflammation, and effectively relieves pain. At Castle Rock Regenerative Healthcare, we use this cutting-edge, noninvasive treatment to support recovery from injuries and promote overall wellness.
What is Red Light Therapy?
RLT is a form of low-level laser therapy that uses specific wavelengths of both red and near-infrared light to painlessly penetrate deep into the skin and tissues. Unlike UV light from the sun, these invisible wavelengths increase cellular metabolism, which leads to pain relief, wound healing, skin rejuvenation and anti-aging, performance enhancement, and even fat reduction.
Does Red Light Therapy Hurt?
At Castle Rock Regenerative Healthcare, we offer red light therapy through our medical-grade red light therapy bed, the Spectra S10 Pro. It’s a full-body bed that is similarly shaped to a tanning bed. Once you lie down in the Spectra S10, a treatment only lasts 12 – 16 minutes, a third of the treatment time required by other red light beds. Red light wavelengths are painless, energizing, and incredibly safe.
How Red Light Therapy Heals the Body
Red light therapy has a wide range of therapeutic benefits and is a fantastic complement to your overall health and wellness plan.
Reduce Inflammation and Pain
Inflammation is, of course, a natural response to an injury. However, chronic inflammation leads to increased pain and slowed healing. Red light therapy can reduce inflammation by improving blood flow and lowering oxidative stress.
Accelerate Recovery and Tissue Repair
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or a strenuous workout, red light therapy can speed up the healing and recovery process. By increasing oxygen delivery to tissues, the body can repair these tissues more efficiently.
Improve Your Joint Function and Mobility
If you are struggling with arthritis or joint degeneration, red light therapy offers gentle relief. The red light wavelengths stimulate cartilage and connective tissue repair while reducing stiffness and inflammation, and help restore mobility. Red light therapy is ideal if you are looking for joint comfort without an invasive procedure.
Improve Your Skin and Cellular Health
Red light therapy is widely recognized for its skin-rejuvenating applications. It boosts collagen production, improves the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and helps heal scars and burns. Even more exciting is the fact that RLT contributes to your overall tissue health throughout your body, not just your skin.

Yes! In fact, red light therapy is a great way to complement your overall health plan. Dr. Scott™️ ensures that each of his patients has a comprehensive health plan tailored to their needs, and RLT is a great addition with practically no side effects or contraindications.
