The Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Men and women often use red light therapy alongside balanced nutrition and regular movement to help manage weight, target resistant areas, and maintain better energy and sleep.

Sleep, Stress & Daily Balance

A more relaxed evening and consistent daytime pattern are common experiences, supporting appetite regulation and routine.

Frequently Asked Questions About Red Light Therapy

What is red light therapy?

+

Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses red and near-infrared light to reach deep tissue and stimulate cellular activity, energy production, and repair. At Yost Wellness Center it's delivered in a full-body Dahlia Red Light Bed at our Urbandale clinic.

How long is a red light therapy session?

+

A session in the Dahlia Red Light Bed takes about 15 minutes. Your first visit adds a short conversation about your wellness goals so we can map out a plan.

Does red light therapy help with weight loss?

+

When paired with healthy routines, red light therapy has shown small but measurable reductions in waist and hip circumference in certain studies, and it encourages healthy cellular energy levels that make it easier to stay on track during a weight-loss program. It works best as part of a plan, not as a standalone fix.

What wavelengths does the Dahlia Red Light Bed use?

+

The bed delivers 630, 660, 850 and 940 nanometer light. The red wavelengths (630/660 nm) work closer to the surface of the skin, while the near-infrared wavelengths (850/940 nm) reach deeper tissue.

How often should I do red light therapy?

+

[CONFIRM WITH CLINIC] Most people start with several sessions per week for the first few weeks, then taper to a maintenance schedule. We'll set the frequency in your custom plan and adjust it as you hit milestones.

Who is red light therapy for?

+

Patients come in for stubborn areas and weight-loss plateaus, sports recovery and soreness, chronic aches and stiffness, restless sleep and daytime fatigue, and stress overload. Many military members use it to help make weight and stay training-ready.

Is red light therapy safe? Are there side effects?

+

Red light therapy is non-invasive and the session itself is relaxing; most people feel nothing beyond gentle warmth. [CONFIRM WITH CLINIC: who should not use it] Red light therapy is not meant to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and results vary from person to person.

How much does red light therapy cost?

New patients can book a first 15-minute session in the Dahlia Red Light Bed for $49 (regularly $299). We'll go over package and plan pricing at that visit based on your goals.
