Harness the power of 635nm low-level light wavelengths to reduce pain, rejuvenate skin, accelerate healing, and support weight loss — safely and painlessly.
Red light therapy (also known as low-level laser therapy or photobiomodulation) uses specific red and near-infrared wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate your body’s natural healing processes at the cellular level.
When the 635nm light wavelength reaches your cells, it supercharges the mitochondria — your cells’ energy factories. This triggers a cascade of healing responses: reduced inflammation, accelerated tissue repair, improved circulation, and enhanced collagen production.
Unlike UV light, red light therapy carries no risk of burning or skin damage. It’s the same category of light used by NASA to help plants grow in space — now applied to human healing.
How Red Light Therapy Works
- Cellular Energy Boost — 635nm light is absorbed by mitochondria, dramatically increasing ATP (cellular energy) production. More energy means faster repair and regeneration throughout the body.
- Fat Cell Release — Light energy stimulates fat cells to temporarily open, releasing stored triglycerides into the bloodstream where they are metabolized as energy — shrinking fat cells naturally.
- Inflammation Reduction — Red light modulates inflammatory cytokines, significantly reducing chronic inflammation that causes pain, stiffness, and slow healing throughout the body.
- Collagen Production — Fibroblasts respond to red light by producing more collagen and elastin, firming skin, reducing fine lines, and accelerating wound and scar healing.
- Improved Circulation — Light therapy promotes nitric oxide release, dilating blood vessels and improving circulation — delivering more oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues for faster recovery.
- Nerve Regeneration — For patients with neuropathy or nerve damage, red light therapy has been shown to stimulate nerve regeneration and significantly reduce neuropathic pain and tingling.
Why Choose Contour Light Body Contouring?
- No Surgery Required — Achieve real, measurable inch loss without going under the knife. No anesthesia, no incisions, no scarring — just results.
- Completely Painless — Sessions are relaxing and comfortable. Most patients feel only a gentle warmth. Many read, use their phone, or take a nap during treatment.
- Zero Downtime — Walk in, get treated, walk out. There is no recovery period — you can return to your normal activities immediately after every session.
- Measurable Inch Loss — Clinical studies confirm real, measurable reductions in circumference across treated areas. Results are tracked and documented session by session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is red light therapy safe?
A: Absolutely. Red light therapy uses low-level, non-thermal wavelengths that carry no UV radiation and produce no heat damage. It is FDA-cleared and has been the subject of thousands of peer-reviewed studies over 40+ years demonstrating its safety and effectiveness.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Most patients see meaningful results within 6–12 sessions. Dr. Holet will build a custom protocol based on your condition and goals — some patients respond rapidly while others benefit from a longer series. We track your progress throughout.
Q: Does it hurt? Is there any downtime?
A: Not at all. Red light therapy is completely painless — most patients find it deeply relaxing. There is zero downtime. You can drive yourself, go back to work, or exercise immediately after a session.
Q: What’s the difference between red light therapy and body contouring?
A: They often work together. Our Contour Light system uses red light therapy specifically designed for body contouring and fat reduction. It targets fat cells directly, causing them to release stored fat which your body then metabolizes. General red light therapy can also focus on pain, skin, and healing. Dr. Holet will help determine your best approach.
Q: Is there anyone who should not do red light therapy?
A: Red light therapy is safe for most people. We exercise caution with patients who are pregnant, have active cancer, or take certain photosensitizing medications. Dr. Holet reviews your health history at your consultation to ensure it’s appropriate for you.
