Red Light Therapy Bed

Full-body sessions at our Ashburn, Virginia office.

Lie down, close your eyes, and let light do the work. Red and near-infrared wavelengths reach the whole body at once, with nothing to recover from afterward.

Root WorksHow it works

Light your cells can actually use.

Specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light pass through skin and are absorbed by the mitochondria inside your cells, the same structures that produce your energy. That absorption may support how efficiently cells repair and renew themselves.

The bed treats your whole body in one session rather than one area at a time, which is why it suits recovery and skin goals equally well.


Available on its own, or unlimited through the $395 monthly membership.

wb_incandescentWhat it supports

Four reasons people come back.

face_retouching_natural

Skin

May support collagen production, tone and texture. Often paired with in-office skin treatments.

healing

Recovery

May help muscles and joints recover after training, travel or a physically demanding stretch.

favorite

Circulation

May support blood flow and the body's natural inflammatory response.

Rest

Ten quiet minutes with nothing asked of you. Many patients say this is the part they miss most.

Red light therapy supports the body's own processes. It is not a treatment for a specific condition, and we will tell you plainly if we think something else would serve you better.

Root WorksQuestions

Before you come in.

What does red light therapy feel like?add

It feels like gentle warmth. There is no heat that burns and no sensation on the skin beyond that. Most people find it relaxing.

How many sessions does it take?add

It depends on what you are working on. Skin and recovery goals usually respond to a consistent weekly rhythm over several weeks rather than a single visit.

Do I need to be a Root Works patient?add

No. Red light sessions are open to anyone. Program patients and members receive member rates.

What do I wear?add

Whatever you are comfortable in. Light reaches skin directly, so the more skin exposed to the panel, the more area treated.

Is it safe to combine with other treatments?add

In most cases yes, and it pairs well with IV therapy or a body composition scan in the same visit. Tell us what else you have scheduled and we will sequence it sensibly.

Is it covered by insurance?add

No, but it is HSA and FSA eligible.
