Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and underlying tissue. At Fechner MD, the full body mat delivers two clinically studied wavelengths: red at 660 nm and near-infrared at 850 nm.

The 660 nm red wavelength targets the skin's surface, where it can support cellular energy production and skin tone. Near-infrared light at 850 nm penetrates more deeply, reaching muscles, joints, and soft tissue, where it may help reduce inflammation and support recovery from physical stress. The treatment is non-invasive and painless. You lie on the mat while the light works across your entire body, and a typical session takes 10 to 20 minutes.

Benefits of Full Body Red Light Therapy

Skin rejuvenation: Can support collagen production and improve tone, texture, and clarity.
Muscle recovery: May reduce post-workout soreness and support faster return to activity.
Pain relief: Near-infrared wavelengths can help ease joint discomfort and reduce localized inflammation.
Improved circulation: Light energy may promote blood flow, which supports tissue healing and vitality.
Reduced fatigue: Regular sessions may help address low energy and the kind of persistent tiredness that rest alone does not fully resolve.
Comprehensive reach: The full body mat treats skin, muscles, and joints simultaneously in a single session, making it efficient for patients with multiple goals.

Am I a Good Candidate for Full Body Red Light Therapy?

Full body red light therapy is appropriate for most healthy adults. It tends to suit those working through muscle soreness or sluggish post-activity recovery, people managing mild joint discomfort or low-grade inflammation, and patients who want to support skin health through a non-invasive approach. Those with photosensitivity disorders, active skin infections, or medications that increase light sensitivity should discuss their history with the team before booking, as some conditions may require postponing treatment.

Why Patients Choose Fechner MD

Fechner MD holds its Wellness offerings to the same standards of safety and evidence that govern every procedure in the practice. Red light therapy is here because it met that bar. Sessions take place in a private, unhurried setting with a trained medspa team, and every patient's plan reflects their specific situation. Dr. Fechner's standard for any addition to the practice is straightforward: if he would not recommend it to a close friend or family member, it does not belong here.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, the Fechner team will review your health history, current medications, and specific wellness goals to confirm that red light therapy is appropriate for you. If treatment is recommended, they will walk you through session duration, suggested frequency, and how red light therapy can work alongside other services you may be considering. The goal is a plan that genuinely fits your life.

How Much Does Full Body Red Light Therapy Cost?

The cost of full body red light therapy at Fechner MD varies based on the number of sessions and whether treatment is incorporated into a broader wellness program. Because every plan is individualized, pricing is reviewed during your consultation. Frequency and session count are discussed openly so you can plan accordingly.

What to Expect During Treatment

Preparing for Your Session

Preparation is minimal. Clean skin allows the light to penetrate more effectively, so avoid applying lotions or thick skincare products to the treatment area beforehand. The Fechner team will review any health updates and confirm you are ready before starting.

During the Treatment

Many patients notice a mild warmth as the session progresses, though the light emits no UV radiation and will not burn or damage the skin.

Immediately After

Full body red light therapy requires no recovery period. Any warmth from the session fades within a few minutes once it ends. You are free to leave and go about your day immediately afterward.

Full Body Red Light Therapy Results

Results from red light therapy develop gradually and build with consistent treatment. A single session may produce a mild, temporary improvement, but more meaningful changes in skin quality, recovery time, and comfort levels generally emerge over a course of treatments. Many patients choose to incorporate regular visits into their ongoing routine, typically two to three times per week during an initial phase, then scaling back to maintenance as their goals are met. Individual outcomes vary based on age, health status, and whether the priority is skin quality, recovery, or pain relief.

Can I receive red light therapy if I have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device?

Is red light therapy safe to receive during pregnancy or while nursing?

How does full body red light therapy differ from the LED light therapy offered at the med spa?

The technology is similar, but the application is different. Facial LED light therapy addresses specific skin concerns on the face, including redness, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines. The full body mat uses complementary wavelengths to treat skin, muscles, and joints across the entire body in a single session.

How long before I start to notice results?

It depends on what you are addressing. Soreness and energy levels tend to respond sooner, sometimes within the first few weeks of consistent sessions. Skin changes develop more gradually. The Fechner team will set realistic expectations at your consultation.

Is the treatment safe for all skin types and tones?

Generally, yes. Red light therapy does not use UV radiation or affect melanin-producing cells, so it does not carry the pigmentation risks associated with some laser treatments. A clinical review is recommended before your first session.

Can I receive red light therapy if I have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device?

Anyone with a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other active implanted device should consult their physician and the Fechner MD team before booking. Suitability is confirmed at your consultation.

What should I wear during a full body session?

Minimal clothing is best. Most patients wear comfortable undergarments or a bathing suit. The Fechner team will guide you on positioning when you arrive.

Can red light therapy help with long-standing pain or chronic conditions?

Some research suggests it may ease inflammation and discomfort associated with ongoing musculoskeletal conditions, though it is not a treatment for underlying disease. Patients with chronic or diagnosed conditions should discuss their history with the Fechner team so expectations can be set appropriately.

Can I combine red light therapy with other treatments on the same day?

In most cases, yes. Because there are no wounds or healing requirements, red light therapy is compatible with many other treatments on the same day. The Fechner team will confirm this at your visit.

Is red light therapy safe to receive during pregnancy or while nursing?

Out of caution, most providers recommend avoiding red light therapy during pregnancy, as research in this population is limited. Those who are nursing should speak with their healthcare provider before scheduling.
