Red light therapy has become a popular wellness service, and it is normal to have questions before a first visit. This guide explains what a session at Medileaf Wellness Spa in Boca Raton involves and how to plan your visits.
What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy uses targeted red and near-infrared wavelengths of light. It is non-invasive and does not use ultraviolet (UV) light. At Medileaf, sessions are offered to support skin appearance and muscle recovery, with an individualized consultation to set realistic expectations.
What the research says
There is a growing body of research on red light, particularly around skin appearance and muscle recovery. The science is still developing, and results vary from person to person. That is why we talk through your goals first and do not promise outcomes.
What happens in a session
- Consultation. Your provider asks about your goals and health history.
- Positioning. You are positioned comfortably in front of the light. Follow your provider’s guidance on eye protection.
- The session. You relax while the light does its work. Most people find it comfortable and calm.
- Afterward. You can usually return to your day right away.
How often should you go?
There is no single schedule for everyone. Many people book a series of sessions rather than a one-off visit, and the right pace depends on your goals and how you feel. Your provider will suggest a plan after your consultation.
How to prepare
- Arrive with clean skin if you are focusing on the face, and skip heavy products right before.
- Wear comfortable clothing that lets the target area be exposed.
- Tell your provider about medications, skin sensitivities or conditions, and about pregnancy.
- Check with your doctor first if you are unsure whether red light is right for you.
