What It Is & Why It Works

Session Length - 20 Minutes

• Red light works through dose, not intensity.

• Mitochondria respond quickly to red light, 15 mins is enough time to stimulate cellular energy production without overwhelming the system.

• Shorter sessions make it easier to integrate into regular routine!

WHAT IS IT?

Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to gently penetrate the skin and underlying tissues. Unlike UV light, this is a non-heating, non-damaging light that works at a cellular level. You simply stand or sit in front of the panels and let the light do the work—no effort, no strain, no stimulation overload.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN YOUR BODY?

Your cells contain mitochondria—the part of the cell responsible for energy production. Red and near-infrared light help stimulate these mitochondria, supporting more efficient cellular energy (ATP) production.

As cellular energy improves, the body is better able to:

• Repair skin tissue

• Reduce inflammation

• Improve circulation & new cell growth

• Support skin health - reducing wrinkles, scars, redness, & acne

• Enhance muscle recovery and joint comfort

This light also sends calming signals to the nervous system, offering a restorative experience rather than a taxing one.

WHY WE DO IT:

Not all resilience needs to be built through intensity.
Red light therapy is here for the days when your system doesn’t need to be pushed—it needs to be supported.

In a world that constantly asks for output, red light offers quiet repair. It complements the harder practices—heat, cold, movement—by giving the body space to integrate, restore, and catch up. It’s especially powerful when stress, inflammation, or fatigue are running in the background.

At Sisu, red light is about honoring recovery as a practice—not just a reward.
