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.
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.
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.
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:
That is why we chose professional PlatinumLED BIOMAX technology.
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.
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.
Research into photobiomodulation continues to grow.
Depending upon the wavelength, dose and application, PBM has been investigated for its potential role in supporting:
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.
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.
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 raises body temperature and creates a heat-based wellness experience.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
