Red Light Therapy: Gentle Support for Pain, Skin Health, and Healing
Red light therapy is a simple, soothing treatment that uses therapeutic wavelengths of light to support the body’s natural healing process. It’s gentle, non‑invasive, and deeply restorative — making it a beautiful complement to acupuncture.
Whether you’re navigating pain, inflammation, or skin concerns, red light therapy offers a calm, supportive way to feel better from the inside out.
