How Red Light Therapy Works for Skin Rejuvenation & Anti-Aging
As we age, our skin loses collagen, elastin, and moisture—causing wrinkles, sagging, and dullness.
At Heal U Wellness, our 635nm MedWave™ Red Light Therapy delivers powerful light deep into the skin’s layers, triggering a natural cascade of healing and renewal.
This specific wavelength penetrates the dermis, where it stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis, improves blood flow, and triggers cellular renewal—crucial components for youthful, firm skin.
The red light also improves microcirculation and reduces oxidative stress, promoting better nutrient delivery and skin detoxification.
Over a series of treatments, clients notice firmer skin, smoother texture, and a visible reduction in wrinkles, age spots, and sagging.

Here’s What a Typical Session Looks Like
Step 1:
Metabolic Activation Vibration Plate – (5 Minutes)
You’ll begin with a 5-minute session on our vibration plate.
Standing in a slight squat position, the plate generates gentle low-frequency vibrations to help stimulate circulation and activate your lymphatic system, preparing your body for red light therapy.
Feeling warmth in your legs and itching over your body is normal during this process.
It's best to come with loose fit clothing.
Step 2:
Red Light Therapy – Front Side (10 Minutes)
Next, you’ll lie down on the Medwave™ Red Light Therapy bed. This part of your treatment lasts 10 minutes and targets the front of your body.
Use the remote control to lower the panel so it's 10–20cm from your skin.
Put on the provided eye protection, then press the "on" button as soon as you are ready.
The panel will automatically shut off after 10 minutes – so no need to watch the clock! Sessions feel warm and calming—like sunbathing, without the UV rays.
Step 3:
Red Light Therapy – Back Side (10 Minutes)
Lift the panel enough for you to turn around and lie on your stomach, so the red light can treat the back of your body. Lower the panel to the correct distance, relax, and let the light do the work for another 10 minutes.
Step 4:
Vibration Plate – Round 2 (5 Minutes)
You’ll hop back on the vibration plate for another 5 minutes, this time to help flush toxins and enhance lymphatic drainage after your light session.
Step 5:
Post-Treatment
That’s it! Get dressed, enjoy the post-session glow, and drink plenty of water to support your body's natural detox processes.
Boost Your Results with the Metabolic Activation Vibration Plate
Included with every session
400% increased metabolic activation
35% more effective inch loss
Our Metabolic Activation Vibration Plate is a low-frequency, full-body vibration platform that stimulates rapid, involuntary muscle contractions while you're standing, sitting, or performing gentle movements.
It's the perfect companion to Narrow Light Therapy™, enhancing its effects by boosting blood flow, activating your muscles, and kickstarting your lymphatic system.
Included before or after your light session, this quick but powerful tool helps increase fat metabolism, reduce inflammation, and support detox—amplifying your results.
More results, in less time, for less cost.
Cellulite Reduction
Red light helps boost collagen and tighten skin, while the vibration plate breaks up fibrous tissue and improves circulation. Together, they visibly smooth dimpled areas and enhance tone.
Synergistic Effect
Using the vibration plate primes your body—boosting circulation and waking up muscles—so you respond even better to light therapy. Post-session, it helps your body flush out released fatty acids.
Muscle Stimulation
By activating muscles, the plate increases calorie burn and supports deeper metabolic benefits—especially when paired with Narrow Light Therapy™ (our advanced red light therapy).
Lymphatic Drainage
Vibration supports detox by stimulating the lymphatic system—key for clearing fat and inflammation released during light therapy.
Increased Circulation
More blood flow = more healing. The vibration plate boosts circulation, helping your cells absorb the full power of Narrow Light Therapy™.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions before I see results?
Healthy glow and more plumpness can appear in 1–3 sessions; firmer skin and smoother texture after 4–6 sessions; noticeable firmness and line softening build over 8–12 sessions.
Results build over time and often continue improving post-treatment.
How long do effects last?
Collagen-building effects can last 1–3 months after treatment. Maintenance sessions (monthly or bi-monthly) help sustain results.
Is it suitable for all skin types?
Yes—safe for all tones and types. Red/NIR light is non-ablative and doesn’t affect pigmentation. It has minimal risks compared to chemical peels, injectables or laser resurfacing.
