Red light & PEMF Therapy
A dual-action session combining red light and PEMF to recharge cellular energy and support deep, restorative recovery.
Book this therapyOverview
PEMF combines low-frequency electromagnetic pulses with red and blue light to work at a cellular level. You lie fully clothed on the mat for around 30 minutes while gentle pulses pass through the body — most people feel a light tingling or warmth. A popular choice for supporting joint comfort, sleep and recovery.

Benefits
10 benefits of PEMF with red & blue light
Cellular recharge
Pulses support the natural electrical charge and nutrient uptake of cells.
Joint comfort
One of the most studied uses of PEMF, and a popular choice for supporting everyday joint comfort.
Nervous system regulation
Low-frequency pulses have a calming effect that supports rest and sleep.
Everyday comfort
A popular choice for supporting comfort and mobility in daily life.
Circulation & oxygenation
Supports microcirculation and oxygen delivery to tissue.
Recovery acceleration
Used by athletes to shorten recovery time between hard sessions.
Red light glow
Red and near-infrared wavelengths support cellular energy and healthy-looking skin.
FOR SKIN
Commonly used to support clearer, calmer skin.
Improved sleep quality
Sleep often improves on the night following a session.
Completely passive
Lie down fully clothed — no discomfort and no downtime.
Published Research into Red Light Therapy & PEMF
Research into red and near-infrared light (photobiomodulation) explores mitochondrial signalling, selected exercise outcomes, skin appearance and pain. PEMF studies mainly investigate musculoskeletal symptoms, with mixed results. These papers study the therapies separately: they do not prove an added benefit from combining them, or establish that a RegenSuites session reproduces their results. Light wavelength and dose, magnetic field strength and frequency, treatment area and session schedule all matter. This is an educational reading list, not medical advice or a promise of results.
Red light: mitochondria & cellular mechanisms
- de Freitas & Hamblin, 2016 — Proposed Mechanisms of Photobiomodulation or Low-Level Light Therapy
Mechanistic review discussing proposed effects on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase and cellular signalling. Laboratory mechanisms are not proof of improved everyday energy, longevity or treatment of mitochondrial disease in people.
Red light: exercise performance & recovery
- Dutra et al., 2022 — Deconstructing the Ergogenic Effects of Photobiomodulation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of its Efficacy in Improving Mode-Specific Exercise Performance in Humans
Review of 37 studies in healthy young adults. Pre-exercise light treatment showed small benefits for selected endurance measures, but not strength, cycling sprints or the assessed running and swimming outcomes. Findings do not support a universal performance benefit.
- Li et al., 2024 — Can pre-exercise photobiomodulation improve muscle endurance and promote recovery from muscle strength and injuries in people with different activity levels? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Review of 34 trials reporting improvements in some endurance and strength-recovery measures, with results varying by activity level. Lower creatine kinase after exercise is a laboratory marker, not proof of healing a muscle injury. This review may include trials also covered by other reviews above.
Red light: skin appearance
- Wunsch & Matuschka, 2014 — A controlled trial to determine the efficacy of red and near-infrared light treatment in patient satisfaction, reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, skin roughness, and intradermal collagen density increase
Controlled study of 136 volunteers reporting improvements in skin appearance, roughness and measured collagen density after 30 sessions. A small control group and specific polychromatic-light protocols limit generalisation to other devices or lasting anti-ageing benefits.
Red light: localised pain research
- Chow et al., 2009 — Efficacy of low-level laser therapy in the management of neck pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised placebo or active-treatment controlled trials
Clinical review finding pain reduction with targeted low-level laser treatment for neck pain. Localised clinical laser protocols are not equivalent to whole-body light sessions and do not establish benefits for every pain condition.
PEMF: joint symptoms & physical function
- Yang et al., 2020 — Effects of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy on Pain, Stiffness, Physical Function, and Quality of Life in Patients With Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trials
Review of 16 studies finding pooled short-term improvements in pain, stiffness and function; quality-of-life benefit was uncertain. It does not demonstrate cartilage regeneration, lasting benefit or equivalence between PEMF devices.
- Bagnato et al., 2016 — Pulsed electromagnetic fields in knee osteoarthritis: a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial
Small placebo-controlled trial reporting pain improvement with a wearable device used for 12 hours daily for one month. This exposure differs substantially from a 30-minute mat session; functional benefits were less certain.
- Thamsborg et al., 2005 — Treatment of knee osteoarthritis with pulsed electromagnetic fields: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Trial of 83 patients using two-hour sessions, five days weekly for six weeks. Overall symptom improvement was not significantly better than placebo. This negative finding illustrates that PEMF results are not consistently positive.
PEMF: low-back pain research
- Kull et al., 2023 — Efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on pain and physical function in patients with non-specific low back pain: a systematic review
Review of nine trials: five reported better pain and function outcomes than controls. Devices, exposure schedules and accompanying physiotherapy varied substantially. These musculoskeletal studies do not establish improved mitochondrial health or sleep from PEMF.
Your Session
What to Expect
PEMF is one of the most passive and restorative therapies we offer. You simply lie down, relax, and let the electromagnetic pulses do the work.
- 01
Arrive & consult
We’ll discuss your goals and primary focus areas - whether that’s skin vitality, joint comfort, cellular recovery or overall energy.
- 02
SETTLE IN & RELAX
You’ll lie comfortably on our PEMF mat, positioned beneath targeted Red Light panels. Targeted applicators can be added for specific focus areas.
- 03
30 MINUTES SESSION
Red and near-infrared light works alongside low-frequency electromagnetic pulses at a cellular level. Most clients feel a soothing warmth and deep relaxation.
- 04
Recover & recharge
No downtime. Many clients feel calmer and more focused immediately after.
