Red Light Therapy & Body Contouring

RED LIGHT THERAPY IN AURORA, OHIO

MORE THAN RED LIGHT.
CLINICAL-GRADE PHOTOBIOMODULATION DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE BODY AT A CELLULAR LEVEL.

At Carrie’s Weight & Wellness, we didn’t choose a basic red light lamp or a small at-home panel.

We invested in high-powered, professional PlatinumLED BIOMAX technology to give our clients an advanced, full-body red and near-infrared light therapy experience.

Why?

Because when it comes to red light therapy, the wavelength matters. The power matters. And the amount of your body receiving the light matters.

Our goal has always been bigger than simply helping you lose weight.

We want to support the body you are asking to change.

WHAT IS RED LIGHT THERAPY?

Red light therapy—also called photobiomodulation (PBM)—uses specific wavelengths of visible red and near-infrared light.

These wavelengths interact with light-sensitive processes within your cells and are being studied for their ability to influence cellular energy production, circulation, exercise recovery, tissue response and discomfort.

Think about it this way:

Your body needs energy to do almost everything.
  • Recover.
  • Move.
  • Repair.
  • Build muscle.
  • Support healthy skin.
  • Adapt to exercise.
  • Handle everyday physical stress.

 

Photobiomodulation gives the body specific wavelengths of light that researchers continue to study for their effects on these cellular processes.

This is not heat therapy.
It is not UV light.
And it is not tanning.

It is light delivered at specific wavelengths and energy levels.

NOT ALL RED LIGHT THERAPY IS THE SAME

This is one of the most important things we want our clients to understand.

Seeing a red light does not automatically mean you are receiving the same type of photobiomodulation therapy used in research.

There are three major factors to consider:

  1. WAVELENGTH : Different wavelengths of light interact with tissue differently.
  2. IRRADIANCE : Irradiance is the amount of light energy being delivered over a particular area. In simple terms: How much usable light is actually reaching you
  3. COVERAGE : A tiny panel aimed at one part of the body is very different from a high-powered system designed for extensive or full-body exposure.

 
That is why we chose professional PlatinumLED BIOMAX technology.

7 DIFFERENT WAVELENGTHS OF LIGHT

Our PlatinumLED BIOMAX technology uses an advanced multi-wave red and near-infrared spectrum that includes:

480 nm, 630 nm, 660 nm, 810 nm, 830 nm, 850 nm, 1060 nm

Rather than relying on only one red wavelength and one near-infrared wavelength, BIOMAX combines multiple wavelength ranges into one session.

The visible red wavelengths are concentrated closer to the surface, while near-infrared wavelengths are used because of their ability to penetrate farther into tissue.

That gives us a much broader spectrum of light than many simple consumer red light devices.

POWER MATTERS.

 

You may see the word “irradiance” when researching red light therapy. Don’t let the science make this complicated. Irradiance simply tells us how much light energy is being delivered to a given area. It is commonly measured in mW/cm² — milliwatts per square centimeter. A system can have the correct wavelengths but deliver them at a very low intensity.

PlatinumLED specifically designs its BIOMAX systems around high irradiance and high light-energy output and publishes third-party laboratory testing of its devices. The manufacturer describes the BIOMAX line as providing ultra-high, industry-leading light output. That is one of the biggest reasons we chose this technology for our wellness center.

We wanted professional power—not just a red glow.

WHAT CAN RED LIGHT THERAPY SUPPORT?

Research into photobiomodulation continues to grow.

Depending upon the wavelength, dose and application, PBM has been investigated for its potential role in supporting:

  • MUSCLE RECOVERY
    Helpful for active adults, exercise recovery and people beginning a new fitness routine.
  • TEMPORARY MUSCLE & JOINT DISCOMFORT
    Photobiomodulation has been studied in several areas of musculoskeletal pain and recovery.
  • HEALTHY CIRCULATION & TISSUE RESPONSE
    Light exposure may influence cellular and vascular processes involved in normal recovery.
  • CELLULAR ENERGY
    One of the primary areas of photobiomodulation research involves the mitochondria—the structures inside our cells responsible for producing much of the energy the cell uses.
  • HEALTHY-LOOKING SKIN
    Red-light wavelengths have been researched extensively for their interaction with skin tissue and processes involved in collagen and skin appearance.
  • EXERCISE PERFORMANCE & RECOVERY
    Research has examined PBM before and after exercise for muscle soreness, strength and recovery.
  • GENERAL WELLNESS & RECOVERY
    For many of our clients, red light becomes part of their regular wellness routine—just like exercise, proper nutrition, hydration and intentional recovery.

WHY WE USE RED LIGHT DURING A WEIGHT-LOSS & WELLNESS PROGRAM

Here is where our philosophy is different.

We don’t look at red light therapy as a magic weight-loss treatment. And we will never tell you that lying under a red light replaces proper nutrition.

It doesn’t.

We use it to SUPPORT the body while you are doing the work.

When someone begins changing the way they eat, exercising again, losing weight or simply becoming more active, their body is being asked to adapt.

Recovery matters. Sleep matters. Stress matters. Hydration matters. Muscle matters. And cellular health matters.

We want to give the body an environment that supports the healthy changes you are already making.

ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN IN MIDLIFE

 

By our 40s, 50s and 60s, wellness can no longer be about simply eating less and exercising more.

Hormonal changes, stress, sleep, muscle preservation, recovery and inflammation can all influence how we feel while trying to take care of ourselves.

That is why red light therapy has become such a natural addition to what we already do at Carrie’s.

It allows us to address another part of the wellness picture:

RECOVERY.

Because sometimes the answer isn’t pushing the body harder.

Sometimes the body needs the right environment to recover well enough to keep moving forward.

RED LIGHT THERAPY + BRAINTAP

RED LIGHT + INFRARED SAUNA

OUR RESET STACK

Want to work on the mind and body at the same time?

Our RESET STACK combines a red light therapy session with BrainTap.

While the body receives red and near-infrared light, BrainTap uses light, sound and guided audio technology designed to promote relaxation and help you disengage from the constant mental stimulation of everyday life.

We call it a RESET for a reason.

Support the body.
Quiet the mind.
Give yourself permission to recover.

 

They are not the same thing.

And that’s exactly why we offer both.

INFRARED SAUNA = HEAT

Infrared sauna raises body temperature and creates a heat-based wellness experience.

RED LIGHT THERAPY = LIGHT

Photobiomodulation uses specific wavelengths of light without needing to significantly heat the body.

Many clients enjoy incorporating both into their wellness routine because they work through completely different mechanisms

WHAT DOES A SESSION FEEL LIKE?

Easy. You lie down. The lights come on. And for once, you aren’t being asked to do anything. No workout. No sweating required. No complicated routine. Simply relax while your body is exposed to high-powered red and near-infrared light. Most sessions are approximately 20 minutes, depending upon the service and protocol selected.

WHY CARRIE’S?

Because we aren’t interested in filling our wellness center with whatever equipment happens to be trending.

We ask a different question:

DOES IT MAKE SENSE FOR THE BODY?

We look at the research. We look at the technology. We look at how it fits into the larger wellness picture. And then we educate you so that YOU understand why we are using it.

Our approach combines:

Nutrition • Weight management • Body composition • Stress and nervous-system support • Hydration • Recovery • Movement • Mindset • Maintenance

Because wellness was never supposed to be one-dimensional.

THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND OUR RED LIGHT SYSTEM

Our PlatinumLED BIOMAX technology features:

7-wave red + near-infrared spectrum • 480 / 630 / 660 / 810 / 830 / 850 / 1060 nm wavelengths • High-irradiance light output • Professional full-body coverage • Third-party intensity testing published by the manufacturer • Medical-grade construction • FDA Class II Medical Device classification by the manufacturer • No UV tanning exposure

This is why we chose PlatinumLED.

If we are going to offer red light therapy, we want to offer our clients serious technology designed for serious light output.

WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY?

Photobiomodulation is an active area of scientific research.

Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses have examined PBM for areas including musculoskeletal discomfort, exercise recovery, muscle soreness and physical function.

For example, a 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis of knee osteoarthritis studies found that PBM may reduce pain intensity, although researchers noted that the certainty of evidence was very low and that PBM should complement—not replace—established care.

Other research has examined PBM in athletes and exercise recovery, including muscle soreness, strength recovery and return-to-activity outcomes.

That is precisely how we view this technology:

NOT A MIRACLE.
NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR MEDICAL CARE.
ANOTHER SCIENCE-BACKED TOOL WE CAN USE TO SUPPORT WELLNESS AND RECOVERY.

LET’S GIVE YOUR BODY THE TOOLS TO RECOVER FROM IT.

You train your body.
You change your nutrition.
You work on your habits.
You learn how to manage stress.
You improve your hydration.
You protect your muscle.

Recovery deserves a place in your wellness plan too.
