Red Light Therapy
FDA-cleared LED therapy that supports the body at the cellular level. 30-minute sessions on the Celluma CONTOUR, in our Brandon office.
The Science Behind the Light
Red light therapy works at the cellular level. It's not magic — it's photobiomodulation.
Specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light penetrate the skin and interact with mitochondrial enzymes inside your cells. That interaction supports cellular energy production (ATP), which is what your body uses to repair tissue, manage inflammation, build collagen, and recover from physical stress.
The clinical literature on red light therapy spans dermatology, sports medicine, pain management, and aesthetics. The Celluma CONTOUR we use is FDA-cleared specifically for body contouring, aging skin, pain management, and acne — four indications backed by Celluma's own clinical data and FDA review.
Used consistently and at the right protocol, red light therapy is a useful adjunct in a broader functional medicine plan focused on inflammation, recovery, and longevity.
Our Device — Celluma CONTOUR
A professional-grade, body-conforming LED therapy panel. Drug-free, pain-free, and FDA-cleared for four clinical indications.
What It Helps With
Each of the four FDA-cleared indications represents a different clinical use. Sessions are programmed to match your goal.
Body Contouring
Reduce circumference of hips, waist, and thighs through consistent, targeted sessions. Most often used as part of a broader weight loss or body composition plan, typically across four to six weeks.
Aging Skin
Support collagen and elastin production, soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. A non-invasive, drug-free addition to your skincare and aesthetics work.
Pain Management
Soothe muscle, joint, and arthritic pain by supporting circulation and reducing local inflammation. Useful for sports recovery, chronic discomfort, and post-workout soreness.
Acne
Help reduce active breakouts and bacterial load on the skin, with results most evident over a series of consistent sessions. Often combined with skincare protocols and root-cause work on inflammation and hormones.

Why Red Light Therapy Earns Its Place
I'm careful about adding services. Wellness has a tendency to chase whatever is trending, and that's a mistake I don't want to make at LIV. So when I look at any modality, I ask the same questions: is there real clinical evidence? Does it support the body's actual mechanisms — the way functional medicine asks us to? And does it earn its place alongside lab work, hormone optimization, gut healing, and the rest of what we do here?
Red light therapy passes that test. It's grounded in photobiomodulation — specific wavelengths that interact with mitochondrial function — which fits naturally with how we already think about energy, inflammation, recovery, and longevity in functional medicine. The Celluma CONTOUR specifically is FDA-cleared for four real indications, with clinical data behind each one. That's the standard I want for any service we offer.
For our patients, red light works most powerfully as part of something larger. It supports body contouring goals when paired with our weight loss program. It supports skin goals when paired with our aesthetics work. It supports recovery and pain when used consistently. On its own it's a useful tool. As part of a thoughtful plan, it's a meaningful one.
