Frequently Asked Questions

What is ATP?

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things. In the context of light therapy, ATP plays a crucial role in the healing process.

When certain types of light, like red or near-infrared light, penetrate the skin, they stimulate the mitochondria (the “powerhouses” of cells) to produce more ATP. This increased production of ATP gives the cells more energy to perform their functions, such as repairing tissue, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall healing.

In simple terms, light therapy boosts the energy in your cells, helping them heal faster and work more efficiently

What if I’m claustrophobic?

We believe those of you with claustrophobia will be amazed and surprised at how comfortable you will feel inside the bed, as not only is the height of the cover easy to adjust, but the head and foot of the bed are completely open.

Can I receive benefits for more than one problem at a time?

Absolutely! Light therapy works deep in your cells to help your body heal and restore balance. Different types of light target various issues, like boosting energy in your cells, reducing inflammation, and balancing hormones. This means it can tackle multiple problems at the same time, making it a great all-in-one solution for many health concerns.

Can you increase or decrease the power of the frequencies?

Yes. The intensity of the frequencies can be adjusted from 0 to 100%. It is typical to begin at a mid-point such as 50%, see how it feels and increase or decrease the intensity from there.

What are the different colors of light waves used in the bed?

The Spectra Light Bed uses 4 types of light waves: Red, Blue, Green and Near Infrared. Use one at a time or any combination together.

Can I just specify red light therapy?

Yes. Red light can be specified, however, having all colors of light waves will enhance your experience and not hinder the red light at all.

Are the lights steady or flashing?

Both. Some frequency settings are very flashy and bright; others are very calm and steady. We can help you determine which is which.

How often should I come to receive the benefits?

1. This depends on your goals, but most people see benefits with 2-3 sessions per week. For general wellness or skin health, 1-2 sessions per week may be enough. If you’re targeting specific issues like muscle recovery, pain relief, or mood improvement, 3-5 sessions per week could speed up results.

2. Each session usually lasts about 10-20 minutes, and consistency is key for seeing long-term benefits. We offer membership programs which offer discounted rates compared to per session pricing, making regular use of our services more affordable.

Q. Is there a membership program?

Yes! It’s a great way to get the most out of our amenities. It includes:
1. Daily use of the light bed (limit once a day, by appt)
2. Unlimited supply of Hydrazorb water.
3. 20% off our supplements

Q. Can you accommodate wheelchairs and handicapped individuals?

Yes, we can. Please note that if you need more assistance than our 120lb attendant can offer, please have that person(s) accompany you.

Q. Can a family member be in the room with me?

Most definitely. You are welcome to have a family member or friend accompany you during your light bed treatment.

Q. What exactly is Photobiomodulation:

Photobiomodulation is also known as Low Level Light Therapy. The absorption of red/near-infrared light energy, a process termed “photobiomodulation,” enhances mitochondrial ATP production, cell signaling, and growth factor synthesis, and attenuates oxidative stress.

Q. Can light therapy help people with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) disorder?

Absolutely. SAD is a serious condition affecting millions of people yearly. The primary culprit is a lack of sunlight, which disrupts our body’s natural rhythms and depletes essential mood-regulating chemicals, such as serotonin. During darker months, exposure to natural sunlight is reduced, leading to a drop in serotonin levels in the body.

A lack of serotonin contributes to various conditions, including the onset of Seasonal Affective Disorder, depression, anxiety, and mania – this is where light therapy comes in. Light therapy involves exposure to bright light that mimics natural sunlight, typically through a lightbox. Individuals need to sit near this light source for about 20 to 30 minutes daily to help their bodies boost and maintain optimal serotonin levels. The bright light from the device stimulates the brain’s production of serotonin, which can improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression.
