Whole-body / infrared light therapy
The score explained
evidence, testing and value, weighed before price
Why 5.5 of 10: Scores mid-table because what works is narrow: specific doses, specific outcomes. The rest is extrapolation.
Scored as a treatment type, not any single venue. Judged on evidence, safety and price, where the stakes are highest.
- Some genuine evidence for skin and localised recovery
- Systemic wellness claims are ahead of the data
- Dose and wavelength matter; sessions vary widely
both sides of the evidence
Supporters point to genuine studies on skin quality and localised muscle recovery with red and near-infrared light.
The reasonable evidence is for skin and localised recovery at specific doses; the whole-body systemic wellness claims run well ahead of the data.
Plain-language assessment of the human evidence. No cherry-picked citations.
reviews
Visitors rate it around 4.5 stars: clean facilities, staff who explain what they are doing, and a noticeable short-term effect. Reviewers split on how long the benefit lasts, which tracks with the evidence.
