Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), involves exposure to red or near-infrared light. This type of therapy uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to deliver specific wavelengths of light to the body. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the cells, where it stimulates various biological processes to optimize wellness.

Makena Health is proud to offer the LightStim LED Bed with the LightStim Pro Panel!
