Red light therapy in North York.

Low-level red and near-infrared light applied to the skin, also called photobiomodulation. It is used to support tissue recovery, circulation and skin quality. Sessions are short, nothing is cut or injected, and there is no downtime.

The evidence is stronger for some uses than others. There is reasonable support for its use in tissue recovery and skin quality, and it is widely used alongside rehabilitation. It is not a cure for any condition, and we will not tell you it is. If someone promises dramatic results from light alone, be sceptical.

Warm and comfortable. You sit or lie under the light for a short session — there is no pain, no needles and no recovery time afterwards.

Red light therapy is generally done as a repeated course rather than a one-off, because the effect is cumulative. Your practitioner will suggest a realistic frequency based on what you are using it for.

Yes, and that is how it is most often used here. Because we run rehabilitation and aesthetics in the same clinic, red light can sit alongside your physiotherapy or massage plan rather than being a separate errand.

Generally not on its own, as it is usually classed as a wellness treatment rather than a covered paramedical service. Where it forms part of a physiotherapy or chiropractic treatment plan, the covered portion of that plan may still be direct billed — ask us and we will confirm before you book.
