Light Therapy in Ogden – Healing House Massage
At Healing House Wellness Center in Ogden, Utah, we’re excited to introduce our latest

light, these full-body LED beds provide a holistic approach to enhancing health, vitality, and
overall well-being.
What is Light Therapy?
Light therapy, also known as phototherapy or photobiomodulation, involves the deliberate exposure to specific wavelengths of light. It's a scientifically backed practice that leverages different colors of light, including the invisible spectrums like infrared, to achieve various health benefits.
How Does Light Therapy Work?
Light therapy operates on the principle that light is a form of energy vital for cellular health and function. Our light therapy beds use low-level light therapy (LLLT) through energy-efficient LED bulbs that emit light at specific wavelengths. This light penetrates the skin and other body tissues to reach the cells, particularly the mitochondria, known as the "powerhouses" of the cells. Mitochondria absorb light energy, which enhances their ability to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's energy currency. This increase in ATP production boosts cellular metabolism, encouraging repair and regeneration. The light also triggers the release of nitric oxide, a natural vasodilator that improves circulation, enhances oxygen delivery to the cells, and reduces inflammation.
Types of Lights Used in Therapy Beds:
Red Light:
- Red light is effective at penetrating the skin and is primarily used to improve skin health, speed up wound healing, and reduce inflammation. It stimulates collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Blue Light:
- Blue light is known for its antibacterial properties and is particularly beneficial for treating skin conditions like acne. It also aids in reducing infections and is used in anti-aging treatments to improve the overall appearance of the skin.
Infrared Light:
- Infrared light penetrates deeper than red light, reaching muscles, bones, and nerves. It treats deep-seated pain, enhances muscle recovery, and supports joint and tissue health. Infrared light can also help regulate mood and sleep cycles.
