Red Light Therapy.
Full-Body Recovery.
Our NEO Light Bed delivers six precision wavelengths —from visible red to deep near-infrared —to stimulate cellular energy, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery. Full-body photobiomodulation in a private treatment room.
Light That Energizes Your Cells.
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate mitochondrial function. At Optimum Health in Inver Grove Heights, our NEO Light Bed houses 3,636 medical-grade LEDs delivering six wavelengths —including red (633nm), three near-infrared frequencies (810, 850, 940nm), and additional blue and green wavelengths —each targeting different cellular responses.
These wavelengths activate cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria, boosting ATP production —the cellular energy that powers healing, recovery, and rejuvenation. Unlike saunas or invasive treatments, it's completely non-invasive, requires no downtime, and works at the cellular level. Lie back in a private treatment room for 15 minutes and let your body absorb the light.
Four Treatment Modes.
One Bed.
Each mode targets different cellular responses with precision-tuned wavelengths. Select your mode based on your recovery goals.
Restore
The core photobiomodulation mode. Red and near-infrared wavelengths penetrate deep into tissue, stimulating mitochondrial ATP production for skin rejuvenation, collagen synthesis, muscle recovery, and pain relief.
Pulse
Dynamic pulsed delivery of red and near-infrared light. Research suggests pulsed photobiomodulation may enhance cellular uptake for athletic recovery, deep tissue repair, and performance optimization.
Calm
Green light wavelengths promote a calming, restorative session. Studies suggest green light exposure may support relaxation and overall well-being, making this an ideal recovery mode after high-intensity days.
Cleanse
Blue light is clinically studied for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Research supports its use for acne management and inflammatory skin conditions, targeting bacteria at the surface level.
Why Red Light Therapy
Transforms Your Health.
Backed by hundreds of peer-reviewed studies, red light therapy delivers measurable results across skin health, muscle recovery, pain management, and mitochondrial energy production. Here's what our NEO Light Bed does for patients across Inver Grove Heights and the Twin Cities.
Skin Rejuvenation
Stimulates collagen and elastin production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin tone and texture, and promotes a radiant, youthful complexion naturally.
Muscle Recovery
Accelerates muscle repair post-workout, reduces inflammation and soreness, increases blood flow to damaged tissues, and speeds recovery time for athletes.
Pain Relief
Reduces joint pain, arthritis symptoms, neuropathic pain, and chronic inflammation by decreasing cytokines and triggering natural anti-inflammatory responses.
Cellular Energy
Boosts mitochondrial ATP production, enhancing energy at the cellular level. Improved cellular energy translates to better recovery, performance, and overall vitality.
Wound Healing
Accelerates tissue repair, enhances collagen deposition, increases fibroblast activity, and promotes faster healing of cuts, surgical wounds, and other injuries.
Hair Growth
Stimulates hair follicles, increases blood flow to the scalp, and may help reduce hair loss and promote new growth for thicker, healthier hair.
How Photobiomodulation Works.
The NEO Light Bed's six wavelengths (633-940nm) penetrate through the skin at different depths to reach the mitochondria in your cells. There, these wavelengths stimulate cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme in the electron transport chain, increasing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production —your cells' primary energy currency.
Increased cellular energy triggers a cascade of benefits: enhanced protein synthesis, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, accelerated healing, and optimized cellular function. Different wavelengths target different depths and responses —from surface-level skin clarity to deep tissue recovery.

Red light therapy at Optimum Health is part of a comprehensive recovery protocol designed and supervised by Dr. Danny Pietruszewski, a functional medicine practitioner and clinic owner serving the Twin Cities south metro. Our team integrates photobiomodulation with chiropractic care, functional medicine, PEMF, and advanced wellness testing for whole-body optimization.
Red Light Therapy:
What The Science Shows.
Photobiomodulation is one of the most-studied non-invasive therapies in modern medicine. Here's what peer-reviewed research has found.
Skin Rejuvenation & Collagen
A controlled clinical trial found that red and near-infrared light treatment produced significant improvements in skin complexion, collagen density increase, and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles (Wunsch & Matuschka, Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, 2014). A 2023 randomized controlled trial demonstrated a 30% reduction in periocular wrinkle volume using red and amber LED protocols (Photobiomodulation, Photomedicine, and Laser Surgery).
Muscle Recovery & Athletic Performance
A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis of 14 studies found that photobiomodulation therapy reduced delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) across wavelengths of 660-950nm (J. Funct. Morphol. Kinesiol.). A separate systematic review of 15 RCTs showed a 20% decrease in creatine kinase levels with improved muscle strength in acute exercise-induced muscle injury (Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy, 2025).
Pain Relief & Inflammation
A comprehensive review published in PMC found that photobiomodulation reduces pain intensity in osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, temporomandibular disorders, neck pain, and low back pain. The researchers concluded PBM offers a non-invasive, drug-free method for pain relief of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Cellular Energy & Mitochondrial Function
A 2024 comprehensive review in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences confirmed that red (630nm) and near-infrared (830-950nm) wavelengths are absorbed by mitochondrial chromophores, stimulating cytochrome c oxidase and boosting ATP production —the mechanism behind most of red light therapy's documented benefits.
Is Red Light Therapy Safe?
Yes. Red light therapy is one of the safest non-invasive treatments available. Unlike UV light, the wavelengths used in photobiomodulation (633-940nm) do not cause DNA damage, burns, or photoaging. Our NEO Light Bed uses medical-grade LEDs that produce no significant heat —just therapeutic light.
Side effects are rare and mild: Some patients report temporary redness at the treatment site or mild headache during their first session. Both typically resolve within hours.
Contraindications: Consult your healthcare provider before starting red light therapy if you are pregnant, have epilepsy triggered by light, are taking photosensitizing medications, or have active skin cancer at the treatment site. Our practitioners can discuss any concerns during a complimentary discovery call.

What Our Members Say.
"I've been doing red light therapy twice a week for 8 weeks and my skin looks incredible. Fine lines have smoothed out, my complexion is glowing, and I'm sleeping better than I have in years. This is now non-negotiable for me."
"As a runner, muscle recovery is everything. Red light therapy has cut my soreness by half and I recover faster between training sessions. The 15-minute session is easy to fit in, and I feel the difference immediately."
"I've had chronic knee pain for years. Nothing worked until I tried red light therapy at Optimum Health. After 4 weeks of regular sessions, my pain decreased significantly. I'm pain-free and moving better than I have in a decade."
Red Light Therapy
vs. Infrared Sauna.
Both are powerful recovery tools —but they work through different mechanisms. Here's how they compare.
Different Tools, Different Benefits.
Red light therapy works at the cellular level through photobiomodulation —specific wavelengths of light stimulate mitochondrial ATP production without generating significant heat. It's ideal for targeted recovery: skin rejuvenation, collagen production, pain relief, and muscle repair. Sessions are 15 minutes, fully clothed, with zero downtime.
Infrared sauna works through deep-penetrating heat that raises your core body temperature, promoting detoxification through sweat, cardiovascular conditioning, and stress relief. It's a full-body thermal experience. Sessions are 30-60 minutes.
Best together: Many of our members in the Inver Grove Heights area combine both for a complete recovery protocol —sauna for detox and cardiovascular health, red light for cellular repair and skin rejuvenation. Explore our infrared sauna & cold plunge →
