Sometimes healing requires more than medicine — it requires light. Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to recharge your cells, reduce inflammation, and support your body’s natural repair processes.
At Optimize Integrative Health, we integrate RLT into personalized wellness plans for patients across Tampa Bay who want to reduce pain, improve recovery, or simply feel and look their best.
Red Light Therapy delivers low-level red and near-infrared light into the skin and tissues. Originally studied by NASA for plant growth in space, it’s now widely used for its ability to stimulate the mitochondria — your cells’ “power plants.”
When your mitochondria get more energy (in the form of ATP), your body can:
It’s natural, painless, and deeply restorative.
Patients choose RLT because it makes a real difference in how they feel day to day. Benefits may include:
less muscle soreness, quicker healing after injury or workouts
reduced inflammation from arthritis, joint pain, or fibromyalgia
fewer wrinkles, scars, acne, and improved tone from increased collagen
light exposure can help balance serotonin and other brain chemicals
when your cells function better, so does everything else
RLT can be helpful for many people, including:
Athletes looking to speed recovery and boost performance
Individuals with chronic pain such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or back pain
Patients with skin concerns like acne, eczema, or psoriasis
Wellness seekers who want anti-aging support, better energy, and mood balance
arthritis, joint stiffness, lower back pain
acne, scars, eczema, psoriasis, fine lines, wrinkles
soreness after training or physical exertion
faster recovery from cuts, injuries, or surgery
easing symptoms of depression or anxiety
Like all our therapies, Red Light Treatment is customized to your unique health needs:
we discuss your goals, history, and symptoms
if needed, we use bloodwork, genomic insights, and biological age assessments to get the full picture
RLT may be combined with other therapies such as peptide or hormone optimization, metabolic support, or nutraceuticals
we monitor your progress and fine-tune your plan as you heal and grow stronger
Red Light Therapy isn’t just about pain relief or skin health — it’s about supporting your body’s natural ability to thrive. At Optimize, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter protocols. Instead, we pair advanced therapies like RLT with comprehensive functional medicine to create long-term results.
Because better energy, healthier skin, and pain-free movement aren’t luxuries — they’re essentials for living fully.
