What is Photo-Therapy?
Photo-therapy is the therapeutic use of light to trigger natural healing processes in the body — particularly in the skin and underlying tissues. At Lumina, we offer red light therapy, a clinically studied wavelength that penetrates skin layers to energize mitochondria, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery.
Our photo-therapy in Schiller Park is completely non-invasive, safe, and suitable for a wide range of skin types and conditions — from premature aging to muscle fatigue and surface-level inflammation.
No downtime, no needles, no chemicals. Just light — targeted at the right depth and frequency to activate your skin’s natural ability to renew and repair.

Light Therapy in Action
We’re currently producing a video overview of our red light photo-therapy setup at Lumina. You’ll see how the chamber or panels work, how long sessions take, and what results you can expect.
What to Expect After a Red Light Session
Red light therapy works by penetrating the skin with specific low-level wavelengths, stimulating your cells’ energy factories (mitochondria). This enhances natural functions like collagen production, circulation, and inflammatory repair.
After a session, you may notice subtle skin softness, reduced redness, or relief from stiffness. With consistent use, many report visible improvements in tone, texture, healing speed, and general glow. It’s a calm, relaxing process with cumulative benefits.
Benefits of Red Light Photo-Therapy
Skin Health and Anti-Aging
Red light helps reduce fine lines, support elasticity, and improve tone by stimulating collagen and circulation. It’s often used to fade sun damage, acne scars, and dullness.
Muscle Recovery and Inflammation
Red light therapy supports faster muscle healing and inflammation reduction. It’s beneficial after workouts or injury — especially when combined with cryotherapy or massage.
Cellular Energy and Circulation
By energizing mitochondria, red light improves oxygen usage in tissues. This enhances blood flow, skin oxygenation, and overall metabolic performance — all without heat or damage.

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How long is a red light therapy session?
Most sessions last between 15–30 minutes depending on the area treated. It’s a passive, pain-free process that doesn’t require preparation or recovery time.
What can red light therapy help with?
It’s commonly used for skin tone, acne scars, fine lines, inflammation, joint pain, and general recovery. It’s also great for improving post-workout healing and reducing muscle soreness.
How many sessions do I need?
Results build over time. Most clients start with 2–3 sessions per week for 4–6 weeks, then shift to maintenance. We’ll guide you based on your goals.
Does it get hot or cause discomfort?
No. Red light therapy is non-thermal. You may feel a slight warmth, but the experience is relaxing and requires no downtime.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Red light is safe for most skin types and tones. It’s free from UV radiation and does not damage or dry the skin. If you’re photosensitive or on light-reactive medications, consult us first.
