Light therapy — also known as photobiomodulation — uses specific wavelengths of blue, red, and near-infrared light, to penetrate the skin and interact directly with your cells.
The key mechanism happens inside the mitochondria. When therapeutic light photons reach the mitochondria, they trigger a boost in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production. More ATP means your cells have more fuel to repair themselves, fight inflammation, and function optimally.

The NIR (near-infrared) light triggers a reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines (the chemical signals that sustain chronic inflammation) while increasing anti-inflammatory markers. This is why it's particularly effective for chronic conditions where inflammation has become self-sustaining rather than serving a healing purpose.
If you're living with chronic pain, inflammation, or a condition that just won't respond to conventional treatment, near-infrared therapy offers a non-invasive, science-backed alternative that works at the cellular level.
At Light Therapy Lab in Solana Beach, we use near-infrared light to penetrate deep into muscle and joint tissue — stimulating your body's natural healing process without drugs, downtime, or discomfort.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy delivers low-frequency electromagnetic pulses into the body's tissues, gently interacting with the natural electrical activity of cells. Every cell in your body operates on electrical gradients — PEMF therapy works by supporting and restoring those gradients when they become disrupted by injury, aging, or chronic stress.

PEMF supports the body at a foundational level, helping improve circulation, reduce inflammation, encourage deep tissue repair, and support overall cellular function. Red light therapy works at the surface and cellular level, using specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate collagen production, boost energy within cells, and promote healing.
Together, these therapies work synergistically to support pain relief, injury recovery, faster post-exercise recovery, and overall performance. They also help maintain the health of your muscles, joints, and tissues by optimizing how your body repairs and regenerates.
Each session is designed to be both effective and restorative, allowing your body to respond naturally while maximizing results.
1) PERSONALIZATION: When you come in for a session, your wellness concierge personalizes your experience based on your body’s needs. You’ll relax in a comfortable open-air bed that combines seven wavelengths of red and near-infrared light with PEMF technology.
2) RELAXATION: The red and near-infrared light penetrates the skin to reach deeper layers of tissue, where it supports cellular energy production. At the same time, PEMF works by gently stimulating the body’s natural processes, helping cells communicate and function more efficiently. Most clients experience a gentle, relaxing warmth and find the session calming and restorative.
3) RESULTS: These therapies work at the cellular level to increase energy production, allowing cells to repair themselves more efficiently, regenerate, and function at a higher level.
Unlike tanning beds or UV light, our therapies utilize beneficial wavelengths of LED light and electromagnetic frequencies without harmful ultraviolet radiation, making them safe for regular use. All of our devices are FDA, CE, FCC, ROHS certified, and ETL safety cleared.
