ZEN RED LIGHT THERAPY - in Abbotsford

 Red Light Therapy, which is also known as photobiomodulation and low-level light therapy, utilizes red low-level wavelengths of light to help you achieve a range of health benefits and wellness improvements. Red light is considered “low level” because it works at an energy density that is low when compared to other kinds of laser therapies.

Did you know that Red Light Therapy was used by scientists to help grow plants in space in the early 1990s? The intense light from the red LEDs helped to promote both growth and photosynthesis of plant cells. After this success, red light was heavily studied for its ability to increase the energy inside human cells.

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy is a treatment that involves shining red and/or near-infrared (NIR) light onto bare skin to stimulate healing at the cellular level. 

The term “red light therapy” is often used interchangeably with several other terms, including:
