Red Light Therapy in Calgary

Red Light Therapy

Looking to boost recovery, reduce inflammation, or improve skin health without second-guessing what works? At MYo Lab, our Red Light Therapy (RLT) sessions are guided by clinical care, not spa trends.

Whether you’re healing from a workout, improving skin tone, or simply supporting long-term wellness, our evidence-based RLT protocols help you get the most out of every session.

In each session, you can choose to combine Infrared (IR) & Red Light Therapy (RLT) at no additional cost or just use one of them.

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy (RLT) uses low-level red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and support collagen production. It’s non-invasive, painless, and clinically supported.

RLT works by targeting the mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of your cells. When these cells absorb certain light wavelengths, they produce more energy, helping your body function more efficiently. This boost can lead to faster healing, improved skin tone, and enhanced cell regeneration. Simply put: your cells work better, so you feel better.

What It Can Help With

Red Light Therapy is supported by a growing body of research and has been shown to support:

Faster muscle recovery and reduced soreness

Improved athletic performance

Enhanced wound healing (including slow-healing wounds)

Reduction of acne, scars, and stretch marks

Improved skin tone, clarity, and facial texture

Reduced appearance of cellulite, wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots

Stimulation of collagen and fibroblast production (for stronger, more elastic skin)

Improved outcomes for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and sun-damaged skin

Reduced inflammation at the cellular level

Improved sleep quality and overall relaxation

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between red light and infrared therapy?

Red Light Therapy uses low-level red and near-infrared light wavelengths to stimulate cellular activity, leading to improved cell repair, collagen production, and reduced inflammation. RLT is particularly effective for skin health, joint pain, wound healing, and hair regrowth.

Infrared Sauna Therapy, on the other hand, uses far-infrared heat to warm the body directly, penetrating deep into muscles and tissues. It’s great for relaxing tight muscles, improving circulation, detoxification, and supporting nervous system recovery.

While the mechanisms are different—light vs. heat—they complement each other beautifully. That’s why at MYo Lab, you can use both therapies in the same session for layered benefits that support your whole body.
