Red Light Therapy
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to help your body repair and regulate itself, down to the cellular level. It’s non-invasive, painless, and surprisingly powerful.
When combined with weight loss treatment, the two approaches can amplify each other’s effects: as you lose weight from the inside out, red light therapy helps contour your body, shrink stubborn areas, and tighten skin in places like the arms, thighs, and lower abdomen that are often the hardest to target. The science behind it is simple: red and infrared light create tiny openings in fat cells, allowing stored fat to be released and processed naturally by the body. This means smaller fat cells, smoother skin, and a slimmer silhouette. Red light therapy may be a gamechanger if you’re:
- Recovering from surgery: Helps reduce swelling and support tissue repair
- Taking GLP-1s or in a medical weight loss program: May support circulation, lymphatic flow, and muscle preservation
- Scar and wrinkle reduction: Red light may reduce the appearance of surgical scars, fine lines, and skin creasing by encouraging collagen remodeling
- Experiencing inflammation, fatigue, or hormonal shifts: Light stimulates mitochondria, helping cells produce more energy and recover more efficiently
- Struggling with mood, metabolism, or stubborn weight plateaus: New research suggests systemic benefits beyond the skin
- Looking for skin tightening or cellulite reduction: Helps stimulate collagen and improve appearance over time
Professional-Grade Red Light in St. Louis
You’ve probably seen red light masks or panels for sale online, but not all devices are created equal. At New You, we use Lumara, a high-output, medical-grade red light system used in professional clinics across the country. Compared to at-home tools, Lumara delivers stronger light intensity that penetrates deeper into tissue, and faster results with fewer sessions needed.
Each session lasts 25 minutes in a private room. You’ll be asked to remove clothing so light can reach the treatment area, so consider wearing something that is easy to slip off (like loose activewear). During your session you’ll experience no pain, no downtime.
For best results, we recommend starting with 2–3 sessions per week for several weeks, followed by maintenance sessions as needed based on your goals. Consistency matters, which is why we offer discounted red light therapy packages that help you stay on track and save money.
