Which form of Red Light Therapy at Cryo Lab El Dorado Hills is right for you?
Whether you’re looking to recover faster, reduce inflammation, improve your skin, or simply relax — red and near-infrared light therapy is one of the most versatile and effective tools available today. At CryoLab El Dorado Hills, we offer four different red light therapy experiences tailored to your goals and lifestyle.
From whole-body recovery to targeted spot treatments, here's how each modality works, what it's best for, and how you can choose the one that fits your needs.
How Does Red Light Therapy Actually Work?
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), works by using specific wavelengths of light (typically between 600–1000 nanometers) to stimulate cellular function and accelerate healing processes in the body.
Unlike UV light — which can damage your skin — red and near-infrared (NIR) light penetrate safely and deeply into tissues, muscles, and even bones without generating heat or causing harm.
The Science: Mitochondria & ATP Production
Inside your cells are tiny "powerhouses" called mitochondria, responsible for producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) — your body’s cellular energy currency. When red or NIR light hits your skin, it stimulates the mitochondria to produce more ATP. More ATP = more energy for your cells to repair, regenerate, and reduce inflammation.
Think of it like giving your cells a battery recharge.
The Four Types of Red Light Therapy at CryoLab El Dorado Hills
1. Recovery Cocoon: Full-Body Red Light + Infrared Heat
This cutting-edge treatment combines the benefits of full-body red light therapy with gentle infrared heat in a cocoon-like pod. You lie back and relax while the chamber envelopes your body in multi-modal therapy.
Benefits:
Promotes systemic recovery
Improves circulation
Reduces inflammation and joint pain
Boosts energy and relaxation
2. Far Infrared Sauna: Detox + Deep Penetration
Unlike traditional saunas, far infrared saunas penetrate deeper layers of tissue without the extreme heat. This is an ideal therapy for detoxification, cardiovascular benefits, and stress reduction.
Benefits:
Stimulates lymphatic system
Increases heart rate and metabolism
Penetrates deep into tissue (far-, mid-, near-IR)
3. Localized Red Light Therapy: Precision Healing
This is a targeted therapy using red/NIR (near-infrared) light to penetrate tissue in a specific area — great for injuries, sore joints, or localized inflammation.
Benefits:
Speeds up tissue repair and wound healing
Reduces muscle fatigue and joint stiffness
Non-invasive, fast, and effective
4. Celluma LED Red Light: Skin, Acne & Spot Therapy
Celluma uses painless, flexible LED panels that emit both red and blue light wavelengths, making it ideal for facial treatments, acne, anti-aging, and muscle healing.
Benefits:
Stimulates collagen production
Kills acne-causing bacteria
Speeds healing after surgery or cosmetic treatments
