    A red light therapy session at WellNest Gold is R500 and runs for about 20 minutes.

    Red light therapy is a gentle, low-effort option that some people find useful when recovering from training, supporting skin health, relaxation and nervous system downshifting, or part of a broader longevity or wellness plan. The session is non-invasive and requires no downtime.

    It may not suit everyone. We do not carry out a full medical suitability assessment before each session, so if you are pregnant, have a photosensitivity condition, take medication that increases light sensitivity, or are unsure whether light-based therapy is appropriate for you, please check with a WellNest clinician first.

    For anything personal, book a consultation so we can confirm whether red light therapy is a sensible fit for your goals.

    A red light therapy session at WellNest Gold lasts about 20 minutes. You settle into our comfortable, dedicated room while targeted red and near-infrared light is delivered to the skin and soft tissue.

    The experience is calm and relaxing, and you can return to your day straight away. The team is on hand to position you, provide eye protection and answer any questions before you start.

    If you are new to the service, mention it when you arrive so we can talk you through what to expect.

    How often you book red light therapy depends on your goals. Some people use it regularly as part of an ongoing recovery or skin-health routine, while others book it occasionally, such as after intense training.

    There is no single schedule that suits everyone, and consistency over time tends to matter more than any single session. We can suggest a cadence that fits your wider routine when you book.

    For a recommendation tailored to your situation, book a consult with a WellNest clinician.
