How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
Photobiomodulation works by exposing the body to specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light.
These wavelengths can penetrate tissues and interact with cellular components, including molecules associated with the mitochondria.
This interaction is being investigated for its effects on cellular signalling and energy metabolism, which may help explain some of the potential applications of PBM in areas such as recovery, tissue function and inflammatory processes.
Importantly, red light therapy is not UV therapy and does not work by tanning the skin.
What Are the Potential Benefits of Red Light Therapy?
One reason red light therapy has attracted significant interest is the range of areas in which photobiomodulation has been researched.
Depending on factors such as wavelength, dose, treatment area and the individual, research has explored red and near-infrared light therapy in relation to physical recovery, tissue repair, skin health and cellular function.
Below are some of the reasons people may choose to incorporate PBM into their health and wellbeing routine.
Red Light Therapy for Recovery
Whether you train regularly, have a physically demanding lifestyle or simply want to optimise your recovery routine, red light therapy may complement a wider approach to recovery and wellbeing.
Photobiomodulation research has explored areas including:
- Muscle recovery
- Exercise performance and recovery
- Tissue repair
- Inflammatory processes
- General physical wellbeing
Red light therapy should not replace appropriate medical treatment, physiotherapy or rehabilitation where these are required. Instead, it may form one part of a broader, personalised approach to health and recovery.
Red Light Therapy After Dental Treatment
At Optimal Dental Health, red light therapy can also be incorporated into your post-dental treatment recovery plan where appropriate.
Following certain dental procedures, your body begins a natural healing response. Photobiomodulation (PBM) has been researched in dentistry for its potential role in supporting tissue healing, inflammatory processes and post-treatment comfort.
Depending on your treatment and individual needs, your dental team may recommend red and near-infrared light therapy following procedures such as:
- Dental implant treatment
- Tooth extractions
- Oral surgery
- More complex surgical procedures
- Post-hygiene cleaning
- Other treatments where additional recovery support may be appropriate
Supporting Your Recovery Beyond the Dental Chair
Our approach to dental treatment doesn’t necessarily end when you leave the chair.
Where clinically appropriate, red light therapy may form part of a wider recovery protocol, alongside your dentist’s post-operative instructions, good nutrition, appropriate oral hygiene and adequate rest.
With a full-body red light therapy bed available here at our Baker Street practice, your dental and recovery care can be brought together in one place.
Red light therapy does not replace appropriate post-operative dental care or your dentist’s instructions. Our holistic dentists in London will advise whether it is suitable for you.
Red Light Therapy, Inflammation & Whole-Body Wellbeing
Inflammation is a normal part of the body’s immune and healing response. Persistent inflammation, however, can be influenced by many different factors, including sleep, stress, metabolic health, physical activity and underlying health conditions.
Photobiomodulation is being researched for its potential effects on inflammatory pathways and cellular recovery.
At Optimal Dental Health, we take a whole-person approach to health and longevity.
That means red light therapy isn’t positioned as a quick fix. Instead, it can sit alongside the foundations of long-term health, including:
- Good-quality sleep
- Balanced nutrition
- Regular movement
- Stress management
- Appropriate medical care
- Preventative healthcare
- Good oral health
20 Minutes to Switch Off
When was the last time you spent 20 minutes doing absolutely nothing?
A red light therapy session gives you an opportunity to step away from your phone, emails and everyday responsibilities while incorporating photobiomodulation into your wellbeing routine.
Simply lie back on our full-body red light therapy bed and relax for 20 minutes.
No workout. No needles. No complicated routine. Just 20 minutes dedicated to you.
Single session: £45
5 sessions: £195
10 sessions: £350
Red Light Therapy & Longevity
Interest in red light therapy for longevity and healthy ageing has grown alongside research into mitochondrial health, cellular function, inflammation and the biological processes involved in ageing.
Photobiomodulation isn’t an anti-ageing cure, and no therapy can stop the biological ageing process.
However, PBM is being investigated for its effects on cellular function, recovery, skin health and other processes associated with healthy ageing.
For this reason, some people incorporate red light therapy alongside other evidence-based longevity strategies, such as:
- Regular physical activity
- Resistance training
- Good-quality sleep
- Balanced nutrition
- Maintaining metabolic health
- Stress management
- Preventative healthcare
- Maintaining good oral health
Our focus is on health optimisation rather than quick fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Red light therapy is a form of photobiomodulation (PBM) that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths interact with cells and tissues and are being researched in relation to cellular energy, recovery, tissue function, inflammatory processes and skin health.
Photobiomodulation is the scientific term commonly used to describe the application of specific wavelengths of light to influence biological processes within cells and tissues. Red and near-infrared wavelengths are commonly used in PBM.
Red and near-infrared light have different wavelengths and interact with tissues differently. Our RedWave Plus uses 630 nm and 660 nm visible red light together with 850 nm near-infrared light. Near-infrared light is invisible to the human eye and can penetrate more deeply into tissue than visible red light.
From £35 a session, depending on what package you purchase.
Our wellsystem RedWave Plus uses 630 nm and 660 nm red light together with 850 nm near-infrared light. The system contains 4,416 high-performance LEDs, providing full-body exposure during a 20-minute session.
Our red light therapy sessions in Baker Street last approximately 20 minutes, making them easy to incorporate into a working day, lunch break or wider wellbeing routine.
No. Red light therapy is different from ultraviolet (UV) exposure and does not use UV light to tan the skin.
Photobiomodulation has been researched across areas including muscle recovery, exercise recovery, tissue repair, inflammatory processes, cellular function and skin health. Individual responses can vary, and red light therapy should not replace appropriate medical care.
Red light therapy is non-invasive and doesn’t involve needles or medication. During your appointment, you simply lie on the full-body therapy bed while the red and near-infrared light is delivered.
There is typically no downtime following a standard red light therapy session, meaning you can usually return to your normal day afterwards.
Photobiomodulation has been researched for its potential effects on skin health, including cellular processes associated with collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
The appropriate frequency depends on why you’re using photobiomodulation and your individual circumstances. Some people incorporate sessions regularly into their recovery or wellbeing routine, while others use PBM periodically.
Red light therapy is non-invasive, but it may not be appropriate for everyone. If you have a medical condition, take photosensitising medication, are pregnant, have concerns about light sensitivity or are receiving treatment for a health condition, speak to an appropriate healthcare professional before starting.
Optimal Dental Health offers full-body red light therapy in Baker Street, Marylebone, Central London at 1 Melcombe Street, London, NW1 6AE.
