How it works
Inside a red light therapy session.
Position the panel
A red-light panel is aimed at the treatment area from a short distance, clothing is moved off the target zone.
Deliver specific wavelengths
Red and near-infrared wavelengths (typically 630-850 nm) penetrate skin and shallow tissue.
Support mitochondria
Photons are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, supporting cellular energy (ATP) production.
Compound the visit
We add red light after adjusting, percussion, or scraping to lock in recovery gains.

Questions from local patients
Dana Point FAQs.
Can I combine red light therapy with other services in one visit?
Yes, most Dana Point patients pair red light therapy with one or two other modalities in the same appointment, so the about 15 minutes from Dana Point via I-5 at Pacific Coast Highway trip covers more ground.
Is it safe for skin?
Yes. Red light does not use UV wavelengths, so there’s no burn risk. We do provide goggles for eye protection.
How is this different from a heating pad?
Heat brings blood to the surface. Red light drives energy into cells at the mitochondrial level, a different mechanism entirely.
