Targeted wavelengths
Our ARRC LED ATP RFQ bed delivers red and near-infrared light across an expanded range of chromophore targets. Red wavelengths work at the skin's surface; near-infrared penetrates deeper into muscle and joint tissue.

Red Light Therapy
Targeted red and near-infrared wavelengths absorbed by your cells to support repair, circulation, and your body's natural inflammatory response. No pain, no downtime.
- Joint pain, arthritis & muscle recovery
- Wound & scar healing
- Skin tone, texture, acne & hair thinning
How it works
Light your cells can use
Cellular response
Light absorption increases cellular energy production (ATP), which supports tissue repair, collagen synthesis, and improved local circulation.
Cumulative benefit
Results build over a series of sessions. Most treatment plans involve 2–3 sessions per week over several weeks, tailored to your goals at your first visit.
What it helps with

Wound and scar healing
Encourages tissue repair and can improve the appearance and texture of scars as healing progresses.

Muscle soreness and recovery
Light absorbed by muscle tissue supports cellular energy production, helping reduce soreness and speed return to training.
Learn more
Skin tone, texture, and fine lines
Red wavelengths stimulate collagen production in the dermis, supporting smoother tone and a reduction in surface lines over a course of sessions.

Acne and blemish-prone skin
Light at specific wavelengths can calm inflammation and support a clearer complexion without medication or irritation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is red light therapy safe?
Red light therapy is non-invasive and drug-free. It uses visible red and near-infrared light, not ultraviolet, so it does not burn or damage the skin the way UV exposure does, and nothing penetrates the skin. Sessions are supervised and the bed is dose-controlled, so you receive a set amount of light per session. Most people feel nothing more than gentle warmth. Some medications and conditions increase light sensitivity, so we review your health history and medications at your consultation and adjust or advise against treatment if it isn't appropriate for you.
Does red light therapy hurt?
No. Sessions are warm and comfortable. You lie down in our ARRC LED ATP RFQ bed while the light works, with no pain and no downtime afterward.
How many sessions will I need?
Most plans involve 2 to 3 sessions per week over several weeks. Benefit is cumulative and builds over a course of sessions rather than after a single visit, so we tailor the number to your goals at your first consultation.
How much does red light therapy cost?
Cost depends on the number of sessions in your plan, which we set with you at your first consultation based on what you're treating and your goals. We confirm pricing before you commit to a course, and there is no obligation to proceed. For current rates, call us at (437) 291-8555 or email contact@gericke-nesbitt.com.
Is red light therapy covered by OHIP or insurance?
It is not covered by OHIP. Many extended health plans reimburse light therapy when it is physician-referred, so if you intend to claim, ask your physician for a referral and check your plan's paramedical or therapy coverage before booking.
Are there any side effects?
Red light therapy is non-invasive and drug-free, and most people tolerate it well. Some medications and conditions affect light sensitivity, so we review your health history and any medications at your consultation.
How long is each session?
Each session in the bed takes about 10 to 20 minutes, and most visits are well under 30 minutes in total.
Do I need a referral to start?
Red light therapy is available for physician-referred chronic pain treatment and as an adjunct to XERF treatments.
