Red Light Therapy Treatment in Airdrie & Calgary For Wellness
Natural Support for Pain Relief, Skin Health, Inflammation & Energy
If you’re dealing with chronic pain, inflamed joints, stubborn skin issues, or low energy, this method can be a gentle, non-invasive way to support your healing.
At Revival Therapeutics, we use medical-grade red and near-infrared light as part of our multi-disciplinary approach, alongside athletic therapy, therapeutic massage, BioFlex laser, PEMF, shockwave, 3D foot analysis, gut microbiome testing, DNA testing, lymphatic support, and personalized workout plans.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Sometimes called low-level light therapy, LED light therapy, or photobiomodulation uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to help your cells produce more energy (ATP).
Our clinical-grade therapy delivers red (660 nm) and near-infrared (850 nm) wavelengths in a balanced 1:1 ratio. This combination is designed to optimize cellular function, support complexion rejuvenation, collagen production, and healing of acne and scars, and help reduce joint pain, muscle soreness, and inflammation.
Research on red and near-infrared light also suggests potential benefits for sleep quality, mood, cognitive performance, and metabolic health, so with consistent use, it can be a powerful tool in a broader plan to support weight management, hormone balance, and overall wellness.
In simple terms:
More cellular energy > better repair > less pain, better complexion, and improved overall function.
Why Our Clients Choose Red Light Therapy
Natural, drug-free support
No needles. No downtime. No medication side-effects.
Non-invasive and comfortable
Most people describe the treatment as warm, soothing, and relaxing.
Great as a stand-alone or combined treatment
It becomes even more effective when paired with massage, laser, PEMF, or athletic therapy — especially for stubborn pain or inflammation.
What Red Light Therapy Can Help With:
Skin Health & Anti-Aging
Great for: fine lines, wrinkles, dull or uneven tone in your complexion, sun damage
Red light can help:
- Stimulate collagen production for firmer, smoother skin
- Improve skin texture & tone
- Reduce redness and irritation in sensitive or reactive skin
- Support faster healing after procedures (when clinically appropriate)
Many people utilize this as part of a non-invasive anti-aging facial routine to keep their complexion looking fresh and healthy.
Acne & Scarring
If you’ve tried creams, washes, and pills, but still struggle with breakouts or marks, it can be a helpful add-on.
Red light therapy may help:
- Calm inflammation in active acne
- Support healing of post-acne marks and scars
- Decrease redness and irritation
We often utilize this with gut and digestive support, microbiome testing, and lifestyle strategies when appropriate, because skin issues can sometimes be linked to what’s happening inside the body.
Scar Healing & Skin Repair
Red and near-infrared light can support tissue repair, which may help with:
- Surgical scars
- Injury-related scars
- Stretch marks (striae)
- General skin healing after injury or irritation
While no treatment can erase a scar completely, red light can often improve texture, colour, and overall appearance over time.
Hair Growth Support
This method is also used to support hair growth and scalp health.
It may help by:
- Improving circulation to the scalp
- Supporting hair follicle function
- Decreasing inflammation around hair follicles
We may combine red light with nutritional support, bloodwork review, gut health, and DNA-based insights about how your body responds to certain nutrients and lifestyle factors.
Joint Pain, Arthritis & Chronic Pain
If you’re living with osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, chronic knee pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, or back pain, you might be searching for something beyond painkillers.
We can help:
- Decrease pain and stiffness in joints
- Improve range of motion and comfort with movement
- Support recovery after injuries or flare-ups
- Decrease inflammation in and around painful areas
- Commonly used as part of treatment plans for:
- Knee pain / knee arthritis
- Hip and low back pain
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Sports injuries (sprains, strains, tendon issues)
- Plantar fasciitis and foot pain (often combined with 3D foot analysis)
Inflammation & Recovery
Chronic inflammation is linked to pain, fatigue, and slow healing.
What we can support:
- Decreased inflammatory markers in tissues
- Better circulation and oxygen delivery
- Faster muscle recovery after workouts or athletic events
This is why it’s popular with athletes, active adults, and people recovering from injuries.
Think about adding these treatments to create a comprehensive recovery plan:
- Athletic therapy
- Therapeutic massage
- PEMF therapy
- Shockwave therapy (when appropriate)
Fatigue, Low Energy & Sleep Support
If you’re feeling run down, burnt out, or always tired, this therapy can be a piece of the puzzle.
It may help:
- Support mitochondrial function (how your cells make energy)
- Improve daytime energy and recovery
- Support better sleep quality when used at appropriate times of day
At our clinic, we don’t just shine a light on you and send you home. We can also look at:
- Gut microbiome testing
- DNA testing for exercise and nutrition response
- Lymphatic support and digestive support
- Custom workout plans
This whole-body approach helps us understand why you’re tired in the first place.
How This Treatment Works at Our Clinic
Step 1: Choose Your Path – Standalone Sessions or Full Assessment
Book this as a standalone service at our clinic if you want the benefits of regular sessions.
For people with ongoing pain, inflammation, skin issues, fatigue, or other health concerns, we recommend a full assessment to look at your health history and build a plan for you.
We can help you decide what option may be best for you.
As a multi-disciplinary clinic, your plan can include:
- Athletic therapy for movement, joint mechanics, and injury rehab
- Therapeutic massage for muscle tension and circulation
- BioFlex laser for targeted tissue healing
- PEMF therapy to support cellular recovery
- Shockwave therapy for stubborn tendon or soft-tissue issues
- 3D foot analysis for foot-related pain
- Gut microbiome and DNA testing, lymphatic support, and digestive support
- Custom workout plans for long-term results
Step 2: Treatment Sessions
During your session:
- You’ll be positioned comfortably near or under the red and near-infrared light panels or devices.
- The treatment is painless – you may feel gentle warmth.
Sessions typically last around 10–20 minutes, depending on the area treated and your goals. - You can relax, listen to music, or simply rest.
Many people notice subtle changes quickly (less stiffness, better circulation, calmer skin), while deeper changes like joint health, scarring, and hair growth can take a series of sessions.
Step 3: Tracking Progress & Adjusting Care
We regularly reassess your pain levels, movement, skin changes, and energy and adjust your plan as needed.
Because we have multiple therapies available under one roof, we can shift focus as your body responds – adding or decreasing:
- Infrared therapy
- Manual therapies (massage, athletic therapy)
- Laser, PEMF, shockwave
- Nutrition, gut, and DNA-based strategies
- Exercise and workout plans
