Know before you go
Understanding red light therapy.
01
What red light therapy is
Red light therapy is also called photobiomodulation. It uses low levels of red and near-infrared light, not the ultraviolet light found in sunshine or tanning beds. Researchers think tiny energy centres inside your cells, called mitochondria, absorb this light. That may help cells make energy and support repair. At Exhale it is a full-body session. You lie back in the warm glow for 30 minutes and simply relax.
02
What the research says
Research suggests red light may help some skin concerns, such as fine lines, redness, scars and acne. Still, many studies are small, and some had no placebo group or were done in labs rather than people. Experts say there is not enough evidence for most other claims. There is no good evidence it helps with weight loss, cellulite or depression. The best dose for each skin concern is also still being worked out.
03
How often people come
Red light works best as a habit, not a one-off. Medical sources describe sessions one to three times a week, kept up for weeks or months. For skin goals, one dermatology source mentions several sessions a week over four to six months. That is why Exhale offers red light and compression packs of 3, 5 or 10 visits. We can help you pick a rhythm that fits your week.
04
Before and after your session
Arrive with clean skin if you can. Researchers note that makeup or oily products on the skin may affect how the light works. Keep the light out of your eyes and use eye protection if it is offered, so ask us about it when you book. Afterward there is no downtime. Head back to your day, or stay for a cup of tea in our tea room.

FAQ
Red Light Therapy, answered.
How much does red light therapy cost at Exhale?
Red light, 30 minutes: $30. Red light and compression, 3 pack: $185. Red light and compression, 5 pack: $300. Red light and compression, 10 pack: $550. Prices as listed on Exhale's Square booking page, October 2026. Check Square for current prices.
Does red light therapy hurt?
No, red light therapy is painless. You lie back in a soft, warm glow, and most guests find it soothing. The light is low level and is not ultraviolet, so it does not carry the skin cancer risk linked to UV light. Medical sources say the most common side effect is mild, short-lived redness. If anything feels uncomfortable during your session, just let us know.
How long is a session?
A red light session at Exhale is 30 minutes and costs $30. You can also book red light with Normatec compression as a one hour visit. Packs cost $185 for 3, $300 for 5 or $550 for 10. The pairing is popular because you get to rest your legs and soak in the light in one trip.
Is there downtime?
There is no downtime after red light therapy. You can head straight back to work, the gym or the rest of your day. Many guests stay for a cup of tea, or pair red light with a massage or a sauna session for a longer visit. If your skin looks a little pink afterward, that usually fades quickly.
How often should I come?
Most people come one to three times a week, and keep it up for several weeks or months. Medical sources say red light works through regular sessions rather than a single visit. Skin goals may take longer, often a few months. We will help you choose a schedule that fits your goals. A 3, 5 or 10 pack can make it easier to stay consistent.
Do I need to protect my eyes?
Yes, you should keep the light out of your eyes. Medical sources say overuse or misuse can harm the eyes, and they advise eye shields when a device calls for them. Ask us about eye protection when you book, or call 727-641-1731. If you have an eye condition, check with your eye doctor before your first session.
Can I do red light if I take medication?
It depends on the medicine, so check with your doctor first. Dermatology sources advise against red light if you take light-sensitive medication, such as certain antibiotics, or have a light-sensitive condition like lupus. Do not stop any prescription on your own. Once your doctor says it is fine, we are happy to book you in.
Does red light therapy really work for skin?
Research suggests red light may help some skin concerns, but the evidence is still early. Studies point to possible gains in fine lines, redness, scars and acne. Many of those studies were small, and the best dose is not settled. It is not a quick fix, and it works best alongside sun protection, good sleep and a simple skin routine.
