Red Light Therapy at Thrive Hyperbarics

---

 At Thrive Hyperbarics, we offer HealthLight red light therapy as an in-clinic treatment, either on its own or as a complementary therapy alongside Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). This professional-grade treatment is delivered in a controlled clinical setting to support healing, recovery, and overall wellness. 

 Our focus is on providing high-quality, evidence-based therapies under experienced supervision so you receive the greatest benefit from every session. 

HealthLight designs and manufactures FDA-listed red and near-infrared light therapy devices in a state-of-the-art facility near Chicago. These professional-grade devices are trusted in healthcare settings for their safety, precision, and consistent performance.

At Thrive Hyperbarics, HealthLight technology is used in our clinic to deliver reliable, therapeutic red light treatments.

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support the body’s natural healing processes. Clinical research has shown that red light therapy can improve circulation, reduce inflammation, ease muscle and joint discomfort, and support cellular repair.

In the 1990s, researchers discovered that light therapy stimulates the release of nitric oxide, a molecule that helps blood vessels relax and widen. This mechanism, later linked to Nobel Prize–winning research, helps explain why red light therapy can provide targeted, drug-free relief.

During a HealthLight session at Thrive Hyperbarics, red and near-infrared light is applied directly to specific areas of the body. The light penetrates the skin and underlying tissues, triggering the release of nitric oxide from blood vessels and red blood cells.

This process increases circulation for hours after treatment, improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues, helps reduce inflammation and discomfort, and supports cellular repair and healing. Because this response occurs directly at the treatment site, red light therapy is a non-invasive and localized option for supporting recovery. 

Clients choose HealthLight red light therapy at Thrive Hyperbarics for a wide range of benefits, including drug-free pain relief, improved circulation and muscle relaxation, relief from arthritis stiffness, enhanced muscle recovery, nerve support, skin health support through collagen stimulation, and fast-acting results, with many clients noticing improvement within a few sessions. 

Red light therapy pairs exceptionally well with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. HBOT works by increasing the amount of oxygen delivered throughout the body, supporting healing at a systemic level. Red light therapy enhances circulation and cellular function at targeted areas.

When used together, HBOT and red light therapy may help support tissue repair, improve oxygen and nutrient delivery, reduce inflammation and muscle tension, and enhance overall treatment effectiveness. Many clients choose to combine these therapies to maximize recovery and results.

The effectiveness of red light therapy depends on using the correct wavelengths. Red light in the 630–700 nm range targets surface tissues and skin, supporting inflammation reduction and skin health. Near-infrared light in the 800–900 nm range penetrates deeper into muscles, joints, and nerves to aid pain relief and recovery.

HealthLight devices use both red and near-infrared wavelengths to deliver benefits at multiple tissue depths during each session. 

For red light therapy to be effective, the body must receive enough energy, measured in joules, to stimulate cellular activity. HealthLight devices used at Thrive Hyperbarics are engineered to deliver the optimal therapeutic dosage, resulting in efficient treatment times, consistent energy delivery, and longer-lasting therapeutic effects. 

At Thrive Hyperbarics, we offer HealthLight therapy options that use red and near-infrared light, as well as select pads that combine blue and red light when appropriate. This allows treatments to be tailored based on individual goals, targeted areas, and overall care plans, whether red light therapy is used on its own or alongside Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Blue light operates at a shorter wavelength and does not penetrate as deeply. It is best known for its antimicrobial properties and is often used for surface-level applications, particularly involving skin health and bacterial management.

HealthLight therapy pads are designed for safety, comfort, and clinical performance. They deliver high power at the skin while never operating above 105 degrees Fahrenheit, use pulsed light to help prevent tolerance build-up, include focused lenses to optimize energy delivery, maintain a narrow band of beneficial wavelengths, and feature flexible pads that conform comfortably to the body without energy loss.  

Whether you are looking to support recovery, reduce discomfort, or enhance the benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, HealthLight red light therapy is available in-clinic at Thrive Hyperbarics.

For clients who want to maintain consistency between visits or who are unable to come into the office regularly, FDA-cleared HealthLight devices are also available for purchase using the same trusted technology used in our clinic.
