How it works

Light your cells can actually use

Red light around 660nm and near-infrared around 850nm are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme in your mitochondria. That absorption increases the cell’s energy output. Unlike a sauna, none of this depends on heat — the panels barely feel warm, which is why a session takes twelve minutes and adds nothing to your recovery debt.

Why people use it

What it actually does

Skin

The most consistently reported effect. Red light reaches the dermis, where collagen is produced. This is a weeks-of-consistency result, not a single-session one.

Muscle soreness

Used before or after training to reduce next-day soreness. Because there is no heat load, it is the one modality here you can do before a session.

Joints and tendons

Near-infrared penetrates deeper than red. Members use it on specific problem areas — knees, shoulders, elbows.

No recovery cost

Twelve minutes, no sweating, no cooling down, no shower needed. Easy to stack onto another booking or fit into a lunch break.

Stackable

Pairs with anything. Most people add it to a sauna or contrast booking rather than coming for it alone.

Frequency is the variable

Three to five times a week is the usual protocol. Short and frequent beats long and occasional.

Questions

Before you book

Anything not covered here, call us — +1 213 686 5600.

Do I need to undress?
Light only works on skin it reaches, so more skin exposed means more benefit. It is a private room — most people strip to underwear or swimwear.
Do I have to wear eyewear?
Yes. The panels are bright and we provide protective glasses. Keep them on for the full session.
Does it feel like anything?
Mildly warm. If it feels hot, you are too close and we will move you back.
How often should I come?
Three to five times a week for the first month if you are after a skin result. Two or three a week is enough for recovery use.
When will I notice something?
Soreness effects are immediate to next-day. Skin changes take six to eight weeks of consistent sessions.
Before or after training?
Either. This is the one service with no heat load, so it will not affect a session you are about to do.
Can I add it to another booking?
Yes, and most people do. Twelve minutes slots easily either side of a sauna or contrast session.
Who should skip it?
If you are on medication that causes light sensitivity, or have a photosensitive condition, check with your doctor first.
