Red Light Therapy &
Syntonic Phototherapy

Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) that helps the body heal from the inside out naturally stimulating cellular regeneration to address brain fog, fatigue, inflammation, skin conditions, TBI recovery, mood disorders, and more.

Healing the Body From the Inside Out Naturally

Red Light Therapy also called Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), Low-Power Laser Therapy (LPLT), and Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a treatment that uses low levels of red or near-infrared light to help the body heal skin, muscle tissue, and other tissues at a cellular level.

When your skin is exposed to these specific wavelengths of light, a part of your cells called the mitochondria the power generators of the cell absorb that light and produce more ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). ATP is the key molecule in cellular energy and regeneration. This stimulation of ATP production, combined with improved circulation and cellular respiration, activates and accelerates the body’s natural healing processes across a massive range of applications.

Red Light Therapy uses very low levels of energy and does not hurt or burn the skin. It is not the same type of light used in tanning booths and does not expose your skin to damaging UV rays. The wavelengths cannot be felt and do not generate heat upon exposure.

Light Exposure

Your skin is exposed to specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (630nm–850nm) from the device. The light is visible, painless, and generates no heat.

Mitochondrial Activation

Mitochondria in your cells absorb the light and begin producing more ATP the energy molecule that powers cellular repair and regeneration.

Official FDA Class II Medical Device
The red light therapy device used at Sensory Stepping Stones is an official FDA Class II medical device not a consumer wellness gadget. This classification ensures the device meets regulatory standards for safety and efficacy.

The 5 Therapeutic Wavelengths (630nm–850nm)

Research has shown improvements across a wide range of conditions using these five specific red and near-infrared light wavelengths:

630nm

Red

660nm

Deep Red

810nm

Near-IR

830nm

Near-IR

850nm

Near-IR

Two Complementary Light Therapy Programs

Sensory Stepping Stones offers both Red Light Therapy and Syntonic Phototherapy two forms of Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) that address different dimensions of healing and can be used independently or together.

Red & Infrared Light Therapy

Red and near-infrared light therapy uses specific wavelengths of LED light to stimulate the body’s own ATP production, improve circulation, and accelerate cellular repair. Unlike tanning beds or UV-based treatments, this therapy carries no risk of skin damage and does not generate heat or discomfort.

One of the key advantages of Low-Level Light Therapy is its ability to help the body heal from the inside out, rather than simply relieving surface symptoms.

Conditions addressed include:

Brain Fog & Mental Clarity

Increased Energy Levels

Reduced Fatigue & Inflammation

Lyme Disease Symptoms

Fine Lines, Wrinkles & Skin Aging

Hair Regrowth

Psoriasis & Acne

Reduced Swelling After Injury

Improved Bone & Wound Healing

Reduced Training Fatigue

Concussion & TBI Recovery

Mood & Emotional Regulation

Neuropathic Pain

Osteoarthritis & Tendinitis

Dementia & Stroke Recovery

Accelerated Wound Healing

Syntonic "Light" Phototherapy

Syntonics is a specialized form of low-level light therapy that uses the application of colored light frequencies delivered through the eyes to address neurological, emotional, and physiological imbalances. It is a well-established optometric therapy with a growing body of clinical research.

Syntonics has been shown to be effective in the treatment of brain injuries and emotional disorders, and is now gaining significant recognition in the medical community as an effective treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Research has also demonstrated that exposure to specific colors can meaningfully affect behavior, mood, and physiological function.

Sensory Stepping Stones was featured on Spectrum News for their work with Syntonic Light Therapy and Seasonal Affective Disorder.

What Clinical Research Has Shown

Researchers have been studying the effects of photobiomodulation for decades. While research is still developing, published studies consistently show improvements across a broad range of physical, neurological, and dermatological conditions when using the five specific red and near-infrared wavelengths (630nm–850nm) that our device delivers.

The therapeutic range is notable for its breadth. Red Light Therapy is one of the few non-invasive, drug-free interventions that has demonstrated measurable improvements across such diverse areas from skin health and wound healing to psychiatric conditions and stroke recovery.

Red Light Therapy does not replace medical treatment. We recommend consulting with your primary care provider before beginning any light therapy program, particularly if you are managing a diagnosed medical condition or are currently taking photosensitizing medications.

Areas Where Research Shows Improvement

Real Families. Real Results.

You’re not the first family to walk in feeling hopeless. And you won’t be the last to walk out feeling seen.

Honest answers to the things you're actually wondering.

Red Light Therapy delivers specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to the skin to stimulate ATP production and cellular repair — targeting physical conditions like inflammation, skin health, wound healing, and fatigue. Syntonic Phototherapy delivers colored light frequencies through the eyes to address neurological, emotional, and circadian rhythm conditions — including Seasonal Affective Disorder, sleep disorders, brain injuries, and mood imbalances. Both are forms of Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) and can be used together or independently depending on your goals.
Yes, Red Light Therapy is considered safe when used correctly. It uses very low levels of energy and does not hurt or burn the skin. It is not the same type of light used in tanning booths and does not expose your skin to damaging UV rays. The wavelengths cannot be felt and do not generate heat upon exposure. The device used at Sensory Stepping Stones is an official FDA Class II medical device, which reflects its established safety and efficacy profile.
The number of sessions depends on the condition being addressed and individual response to treatment. Some people notice improvements within a few sessions; others require a longer course of treatment for meaningful results. During your initial consultation at Sensory Stepping Stones, we will discuss your specific goals and recommend a session plan accordingly.
Yes. Red Light Therapy and Syntonic Phototherapy can complement other programs offered at Sensory Stepping Stones — particularly for adults managing brain fog, mood disorders, fatigue, TBI recovery, or chronic pain alongside other therapeutic goals. Our team can help determine how light therapy fits into a broader wellness or recovery plan.
Red Light Therapy is available for all ages at Sensory Stepping Stones. While it is listed under our Adult Programs, it is also used as part of the Neuro Integration Therapy™ program for children — where the visual component of the program uses a similar light-based approach. For children, the use of light therapy is always integrated within a clinically structured program and supervised by our team.
