What Is Medical-Grade Whole Body Red Light Therapy?

Discover the science behind whole-body photobiomodulation/Red Light Therapy at Lumora Core in Perth.

Red light therapy has become increasingly popular for recovery, pain management and overall wellness. However, not all red light therapy devices are created equal. The difference between a consumer-grade LED panel and a medical-grade whole-body system can be significant.

At Lumora Core, we use the NovoTHOR, one of the world's leading whole-body photobiomodulation (PBM) systems, designed to deliver controlled doses of red and near-infrared light over the entire body.

How does red light therapy work?

Photobiomodulation uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by structures within our cells called mitochondria. These are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell.

When these wavelengths are absorbed, they help support cellular energy production (ATP), influence cell signalling pathways and may contribute to the body's natural repair processes.

Research has investigated PBM across a range of applications including:

• Muscle recovery after exercise

• Temporary relief of muscle and joint discomfort

• Support for tissue healing

• Reduction of exercise-related fatigue

• Improved physical performance and recovery in some settings

The effects depend on factors such as wavelength, energy dose, treatment duration and the condition being treated.

What makes medical-grade whole body red light therapy different?

Many home devices use relatively small treatment areas and lower power outputs.

The NovoTHOR system is designed to provide:

• Whole-body treatment

• Precisely controlled therapeutic wavelengths

• Consistent light delivery over a large treatment area

• Standardised treatment protocols

This allows the body to receive treatment from head to toe during a single session.
