When we think about healthy, glowing skin and long-term wellness, most people immediately think of skincare products, injectables, or in-office treatments. While these are essential parts of an aesthetic and wellness plan, one modality I continue to recommend to patients — and personally incorporate into my own routine — is red light therapy. This technology has moved far beyond being a spa luxury or social-media trend; it is a science-driven tool used to support cellular repair, collagen production, and whole-body wellbeing.
At Haus MD on the Upper East Side, we offer full-body red light therapy treatments by Joovv, and they have quickly become a favorite among patients who want to look and feel better from the inside out. You can even access them conveniently on ClassPass, making consistency easier than ever.
What Exactly Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to energize and repair the body at a cellular level. When this light penetrates the skin, it stimulates the mitochondria — the powerhouse of the cell — to produce more ATP, our body’s natural energy source. Increased cellular energy leads to enhanced repair, improved oxygen utilization, reduced inflammation, and healthier tissue function. Over time, this can translate into stronger collagen and elastin networks, improved circulation, accelerated healing, and more resilient skin and body systems overall. It’s a gentle, restorative technology that works with your natural biology to promote healthier skin and support longevity from within.
What Benefits Can You Expect?
Patients often notice their skin appearing brighter, calmer, and healthier, but the benefits extend far beyond the surface. Red light therapy can help reduce inflammation, promote collagen and elastin production, and support lymphatic flow — all of which contribute to firmer, clearer, more resilient skin over time.
However, one of the most exciting parts of red light therapy, especially for those of us interested in longevity medicine, is how it supports overall wellness. Clinical research has shown improvements in muscle recovery, joint health, circulation, mitochondrial function, and even mood and sleep quality. It complements aesthetic treatments beautifully but also plays a powerful role in general health and anti-aging from a cellular standpoint.
Why Make It Part of Your Weekly Routine?
Just like exercise or skincare, red light therapy works best when done consistently. One session feels great, but routine treatments are what create real change — stronger collagen networks, more balanced inflammation, faster recovery from treatments or workouts, and a noticeable improvement in overall skin vitality.
This is why we made sure our HausMD Upper East Side location offers a comfortable, private, full-body red light therapy experience that patients can easily incorporate into their weekly schedule. Some people come after a workout, some after a facial or laser treatment, and others treat it like meditation time — a restorative moment where you’re not only doing something good for your skin, but for your long-term health and energy.
Why I Recommend Red Light Therapy as a Medical Provider
As a medical professional focused on regenerative beauty and long-term skin health, I view red light therapy as one of the most accessible and effective technologies we have for supporting healthy aging. It fits seamlessly into nearly every treatment plan — whether you’re preparing for an aesthetic procedure, recovering post-treatment, or simply wanting to keep your skin and body functioning at their best.
It’s gentle, safe for all skin types, and backed by strong biological science. And importantly — my patients love how they feel afterward. There’s a noticeable boost in radiance, but also in energy and wellbeing. That combination is something topical products alone simply cannot deliver.
