Red light therapy is a non-invasive wellness treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support the body at a cellular level. These wavelengths are absorbed by the mitochondria—the energy-producing centers within your cells—helping stimulate the production of ATP, the fuel your body relies on for everyday function, repair, and recovery.
Often referred to as photobiomodulation, red light therapy has been studied for decades and is used by athletes, wellness professionals, and health-conscious individuals looking to support recovery, support vitality, and promote overall well-being. Unlike ultraviolet light, red and near-infrared light are gentle, natural wavelengths that work beneath the surface of the skin without causing damage or downtime.
At Shiver & Sweat, we've partnered with Body Balance System to bring the Ovation ULT bed to Portland—one of the most advanced full-body red light therapy systems available today. Manufactured in the USA and FDA approved the OvationULT features more than 28,000 clinical-grade red and near-infrared LEDs, delivering powerful, consistent full-body light exposure in just 15 minutes.
Unlike many consumer-grade panels or modified tanning bed designs, the OvationULT was engineered specifically for red light therapy. Its zero-gravity ergonomic design positions the body just inches from the light source for optimal exposure, while integrated vibration massage technology creates a uniquely relaxing experience.
Each session takes place in a private, calming environment, allowing you to fully unwind while your body absorbs the benefits of this advanced light therapy technology. The result is a premium red light therapy experience designed to help support your wellness routine from the inside out.
Benefits Of Red Light Therapy
CELLULAR ENERGY
Red light therapy supports mitochondrial function, helping your body produce more ATP—its primary source of cellular energy. With more energy available, your body can function, repair, and recover more efficiently.
Recovery & Repair
By increasing cellular energy, red light therapy supports the body’s natural repair processes. This can help reduce muscle soreness, speed up recovery, and support healing after workouts or everyday physical stress.
Reduced Inflammation
Red and near-infrared light help modulate inflammation at the cellular level. Over time, this can support joint comfort, reduce swelling, and improve overall recovery.
Skin Health & Collagen
Red light therapy supports collagen production and improves circulation to the skin. This can help enhance skin tone, texture, and overall vitality while promoting a healthier, more radiant appearance.
Skin Health
Near-infrared wavelengths support skin health by promoting circulation and encouraging collagen production. Over time, this can help improve tone, clarity, and overall skin vitality.
Sleep
Red light therapy helps support your body’s natural circadian rhythm, which plays a key role in sleep and recovery. With consistent use, this can help improve sleep quality and allow your body to repair and restore more effectively overnight.
