Targeted Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy at Solāis is targeted, dosed, and precise.

We don’t use full-body red light panels or prolonged exposure. Instead, we apply red and near-infrared light locally, to the area that actually needs support — because that’s how much of the clinical research uses photobiomodulation.

What targeted red light can support

Targeted red light therapy is commonly used to support:

  • joint and muscle pain

  • tendon and connective tissue recovery

  • gut and abdominal inflammation

  • skin repair and collagen support

  • post-injury or post-surgery recovery

  • areas of chronic tension or poor circulation

It’s particularly useful when the body feels stuck, inflamed, or slow to heal.

Why we use targeted red light, not full-body exposure

A common misconception in wellness is that flooding the whole body with red light will deliver better results.

In reality, research shows that dose, intensity, and exposure time matter far more than sheer power. Too much light, too intense, or applied too broadly can actually reduce effectiveness — a phenomenon known as the biphasic dose response.

At Solāis, we keep red light:

  • targeted to one area

  • time-limited

  • clinically dosed, not overstimulating

This allows us to:

  • focus healing where inflammation, pain, or stagnation is present

  • avoid unnecessary systemic stimulation

  • reflect how red light is applied in much of the literature

In simple terms:
we give the tissue what it needs — and then stop.

Why we don’t combine red light and infrared at the same time

Red light and infrared sauna work through different biological mechanisms.

Red light is a cellular stimulus — it asks cells to do more work.
Infrared sauna is a system-wide relaxation and heat response.

Stacking them simultaneously can blur those signals.

That’s why, when used together, red light at Solāis is applied briefly and first, to prime the tissue — before moving into whole-body vibration and infrared heat, where circulation, lymphatic flow, and nervous system regulation take over.

This sequencing reflects how the body actually integrates these inputs.

Our approach at Solāis

We prioritise:

  • correct wavelength selection

  • appropriate intensity (not maximum intensity)

  • controlled exposure time

  • skin-proximal application where relevant

  • restraint over excess

This isn’t about chasing trends.
It’s about using light in a way the body recognises.

Targeted red light therapy at Solāis is calm, clinical, and purposeful — designed to support healing, not overwhelm the system.
