Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is a non-invasive and non-thermal treatment that uses low-level red and near-infrared light to shake off nitric oxide (NO) molecules that can over time block the oxygen binding sites of your cells' mitochondria. The removal of the nitric oxide allows more oxygen to be taken up by the mitochondria thereby promoting cell healing and regeneration.

To receive effective red light therapy, you need to use a bed that is tuned to the correct 'red' light wavelengths (frequencies) and ensure that it delivers sufficient intensity; something that many other commercial beds don't do. Only then will you obtain the desired outcome. Arden Forest Wellness has two such beds.

1. Before your first session, we will conduct a 15-minute consultation so that we can establish the most appropriate initial protocol for you. This is important as our beds are not set up for one-size-fits-all sessions. Based upon your goals, we customise the intensity of individual wavelengths (frequencies) of light, all the way from blue to infrared.
   
   
2. Your red light therapy session is likely to be 10 minutes in length (the beds and canopies are amongst the most powerful available), but please allow at least 10 minutes before and after to dress and undress. If it is your first time taking red light therapy with us, please arrive 15 minutes before the start of your session.
   
   
3. Before you start, we will provide you with a choice of eye protection; please wear them at all times that the bed and canopy are on. You will then be left in peace to undress and enjoy the session.
   
   
4. Please do undress to whatever level you wish - the beds are thoroughly cleaned and sanitised immediately after each session, the rooms are fully private with lockable doors. The therapy works best without the light-absorption of clothing.
