At Crowns Gym Beckenham, we’ve always been about more than just weights, sweat and reps – we’re here to bring our members the very best when it comes to health, recovery and performance.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce our Red Light Therapy bed. We’re one of only a handful of places in South London to have one.
You’ve probably seen the questions flying around online: what is red light therapy? does red light therapy work? is red light therapy safe?
What does red light therapy do?
Red light therapy uses low-level red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin, stimulating your cells to repair and regenerate. Think of it like giving your body’s batteries a recharge. People use it for recovery after training, boosting skin health, improving sleep, reducing inflammation, and even hair regrowth.
So if you’ve been wondering:
Does red light therapy work for hair loss? There’s evidence that it can help stimulate follicles and promote thicker growth.
What does red light therapy do for your skin? It supports collagen production, helps reduce wrinkles, and can speed up healing.
How does red light therapy work? It works at a cellular level, increasing energy in your mitochondria – the “power stations” inside your cells.
Safety first
We get asked a lot: is red light therapy safe? can red light therapy cause cancer? can red light therapy cause cancer cells to grow? The good news is that there’s no evidence that red light therapy causes cancer, and it doesn’t use UV light (the damaging kind). It’s generally safe for most people, but if you’re undergoing cancer treatment, always check with your doctor first.
How to use red light therapy
A big question we hear is: how often should you use red light therapy? or how much red light therapy per day is best?
For skin and general wellness, 3–4 times a week is a great start.
If you’re targeting hair growth: how often to use red light therapy for hair growth? Around 3 times per week works for most people.
For your face: how long to use red light therapy on face? Usually 10–20 minutes is plenty.
For recovery: how soon after surgery can you use red light therapy? Always follow your doctor’s advice, but once cleared, it may support faster healing.
The most common rule of thumb is “little and often” – so whether you’re asking how long should you use red light therapy? how often to do red light therapy? or how long for red light therapy to work? – consistency is key. Most people start noticing benefits in just a few weeks.
