At NY360 Wellness Medicine, we use medical-grade Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation, PBM) as part of an evidence-based, physician-directed approach to optimize healing, recovery, performance, and longevity.

Unlike cosmetic red light treatments found in spas, our protocols are integrated into personalized treatment plans that may include functional medicine, hormone optimization, neural therapy, IV nutrient therapy, lymphatic therapy, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to address the underlying drivers of symptoms—not simply mask them.

Whether your goal is to reduce pain, improve skin health, enhance athletic recovery, decrease inflammation, or support healthy aging, Red Light Therapy provides a safe, non-invasive way to improve cellular function.

True Healing Happens Here.

Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM) or Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT), uses specific wavelengths of visible red and near-infrared light to stimulate your body's natural healing processes.

The wavelengths most commonly used include:

• Red Light (approximately 630–670 nm) – targets skin and superficial tissues 
• Near Infrared Light (approximately 810–850 nm) – penetrates deeper into muscles, joints, nerves, and connective tissue 

Unlike UV light, these wavelengths do not burn or damage the skin. Instead, they provide energy to cells, allowing them to function more efficiently. 

Red and near-infrared photons penetrate the skin and are absorbed by mitochondria—the energy-producing structures inside every cell.

The primary light-sensitive molecule is believed to be cytochrome c oxidase, part of the mitochondrial electron transport chain.

When stimulated, mitochondria produce more:

• ATP (cellular energy) 
• Nitric oxide release 
• Controlled reactive oxygen species (ROS) 
• Cellular signaling molecules 

These changes improve cellular metabolism and repair. 

The result is improved cellular performance leading to:

• Better tissue repair 
• Reduced inflammation 
• Improved circulation 
• Enhanced collagen production 
• Faster muscle recovery 
• Reduced oxidative stress 
• Improved lymphatic function 
• Improved healing responses 

Photobiomodulation increases ATP production, allowing cells to perform normal repair processes more efficiently.

Potential benefits include:

• Increased energy 
• Better cellular resilience 
• Faster recovery 

Research has demonstrated improvements in:

• Neck pain 
• Back pain 
• Tendon injuries 
• Joint pain 
• Arthritis 
• Fibromyalgia 
• Plantar fasciitis 
• Neuropathic pain 

PBM appears to reduce inflammatory signaling while supporting tissue healing rather than simply blocking pain. 

Chronic inflammation contributes to:

• Fatigue 
• Joint pain 
• Autoimmune disease 
• Metabolic dysfunction 
• Accelerated aging 

Red light therapy helps regulate inflammatory pathways while promoting resolution of tissue injury. 

Red light therapy has been shown to support:

• Collagen production 
• Reduced fine lines 
• Improved skin elasticity 
• Improved wound healing 
• Reduced redness 
• Improved skin texture 

Athletes increasingly use photobiomodulation to:

• Reduce muscle soreness 
• Improve recovery 
• Improve performance 
• Enhance tissue repair 

As mitochondrial function declines with age, photobiomodulation may help support:

• Cellular resilience 
• Reduced oxidative stress 
• Improved tissue repair 
• Healthy aging pathways 

Although more research is ongoing, this represents one reason PBM has become an important tool in longevity medicine. 

Patients commonly use Red Light Therapy as part of comprehensive treatment for:

• Chronic inflammation 
• Muscle soreness 
• Neck pain 
• Back pain 
• Joint pain 
• Arthritis 
• Sports injuries 
• Tendon injuries 
• Fibromyalgia 
• Neuropathy 
• Delayed wound healing 
• Scar healing 
• Skin rejuvenation 
• Acne 
• Hair thinning 
• Fatigue 
• Recovery after exercise 
• General wellness and longevity
