Non-invasive red and near-infrared light therapy to reduce inflammation, support fat reduction, improve skin quality, and accelerate recovery. Available in-clinic at CT Medical Weight Loss and Beyond.
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity. Unlike UV light, these wavelengths do not damage tissue. They energize it.
When these wavelengths reach your cells, they boost mitochondrial function . the part of the cell responsible for producing energy. This triggers a cascade of effects: reduced inflammation, accelerated tissue repair, improved circulation, and enhanced fat metabolism.
At CT Medical Weight Loss and Beyond in Glastonbury, red light therapy is offered as a clinical complement to our weight loss and body contouring programs, not a spa service.
Our red light therapy device uses flexible LED panels that wrap around treated areas, delivering both red and near-infrared wavelengths across a wide surface area in a single session.

Different wavelengths penetrate to different depths and trigger different biological responses. Clinical red light therapy uses specific wavelengths to target fat cells, skin, and deeper tissue.
Penetrates to the skin surface and upper dermis. Stimulates collagen and elastin production, reduces surface inflammation, and improves skin tone and texture.
Penetrates deeper, reaching muscle, joints, and fat cells. Reduces deeper inflammation, supports cellular energy production, and has the strongest effect on fat metabolism and tissue repair.
Our clinical protocol uses both wavelengths together. Red light addresses skin quality while near-infrared reaches deeper tissue. The combination produces better outcomes than either wavelength alone.
Near-infrared light creates temporary pores in fat cell membranes, allowing stored lipids to release. Accelerates fat reduction in treated areas, especially paired with a GLP-1 program.
Red light stimulates fibroblast activity, the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production. Firmer, more elastic skin . critical for patients losing significant weight.
Both wavelengths reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory markers at the cellular level. Patients often notice reduced joint discomfort and faster muscle recovery.
Red light promotes nitric oxide release, which relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Better circulation supports nutrient delivery and overall tissue health.
Near-infrared boosts ATP production in mitochondria, giving cells more energy to repair. Speeds recovery from exercise, reduces soreness, and supports tissue healing.
Regular red light therapy may improve sleep quality and energy levels. Research suggests photobiomodulation can influence cortisol regulation and mitochondrial efficiency systemically.
Losing weight quickly can leave skin loose. Red light therapy supports skin tightening throughout your program.
Joint pain, muscle soreness, or persistent inflammation that limits activity or slows your weight loss progress.
Sun damage, uneven tone, fine lines, or reduced elasticity that you want to address without invasive procedures.
Active patients who exercise regularly and want faster muscle recovery and reduced soreness between sessions.
Rapid weight loss creates a specific challenge: your body loses fat faster than your skin can adapt. Red light therapy directly addresses this by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity throughout your program.
At CT Medical Weight Loss and Beyond, we recommend adding red light therapy early in your GLP-1 program . before loose skin becomes a concern . rather than as a correction after the fact.
Sessions typically run 15 to 20 minutes. No preparation needed.
Brief check-in with our clinical team to review your goals and any changes since your last visit.
You relax while the LED panels are positioned over the treatment area. No gels, no contact required.
15 to 20 minutes of red and near-infrared light exposure. Most patients find it warm and comfortable.
No downtime, no restrictions. Many patients combine red light with a GLP-1 visit or body contouring session.
