Red Light Therapy · Chiswick W4, West London
Red light therapy uses red and near-infrared light, with no UV, absorbed by cells in the skin, muscles and joints. At Omnia Lifestyle in Chiswick, West London, we offer full-body NovoTHOR bed sessions and targeted THOR laser treatment. In the UK, THOR devices are approved for tendon, joint, back and neck pain.
At Omnia Lifestyle
Red light therapy in London at Omnia Lifestyle is used for recovery and for long-term tendon, joint, back and neck pain. At our Chiswick clinic we offer the NovoTHOR full-body red light therapy bed, plus the THOR laser for targeted work on tendons, joints, the back and the neck. A full-body session takes about 20 minutes, with no UV, no tanning and no downtime.
Our clinic team checks your suitability, medication and goals before your first session, and protective eyewear is provided. NovoTHOR sessions start at £70, THOR laser sessions are £80 for 30 minutes, and the Omnia Red membership gives you eight NovoTHOR sessions a month for £225.

Why Omnia Lifestyle
Why people come
The mechanism
Photobiomodulation works because red and near-infrared wavelengths are absorbed by the mitochondria inside your cells. This is thought to increase their energy output, improve local circulation and calm inflammatory signalling, which is why it is studied for recovery, pain, inflammation and tissue repair rather than used as a cosmetic light.
NovoTHOR delivers light to the whole body at once in a 20-minute session. The THOR laser concentrates similar wavelengths on a specific joint, tendon or injury for a stronger local dose. The two are often combined: whole-body recovery in the bed, then targeted work on the problem area with the laser.

Who it helps
Other conditions are not approved uses of THOR devices in the UK, and we make no treatment claims for them. For the studies, see our red light therapy research library.

What to expect
Your first visit includes a short consultation to check suitability, medication and goals. Protective eyewear goes on, you lie back in the NovoTHOR bed and the session runs for about twenty minutes. It is warm, quiet and pleasant, and you can shower and carry on with your day straight away. Targeted THOR laser sessions last 30 minutes and focus on the area being treated.
A common question is whether red light therapy can cause cancer. These wavelengths contain no UV, the part of sunlight linked to skin cancer, and current research has not shown a cancer risk; read more in can red light therapy cause cancer. We agree a schedule with you, and the Omnia Red membership covers eight NovoTHOR sessions a month if you want regular sessions.

Step by step
Our red light therapy bed is a NovoTHOR, a full body bed that surrounds you with red and near-infrared LEDs, so your whole body is treated at once. You lie in the bed for a 20-minute session, with no UV and no downtime, so you can go straight back to work or training afterwards. A single NovoTHOR session is £70, and the Omnia Red membership gives you eight sessions a month for £225, about £28 a session.
We agree a schedule with you at your first visit, and you can review it as you go. Your first visit includes a free 15-minute consultation, so you can see the bed and ask questions before you start.
People often search for a red light bed or a red light sunbed, but the two are very different. A sunbed uses ultraviolet light to tan the skin. A red light therapy bed uses red and near-infrared light, which does not tan and is not ultraviolet. For a single area, such as a knee, shoulder or the lower back, our THOR laser gives targeted treatment in a 30-minute session for £80. Read more about low level laser therapy in London.

Reviews
Questions
Yes, for most people. Red and near-infrared light is non-ionising, contains no UV, and does not heat tissue to damaging levels. Decades of clinical use have found few side effects beyond mild warmth or temporary redness. The main precautions are eye protection, photosensitising medication, pregnancy, and not treating directly over an active cancer.
For some uses, the evidence is reasonable but mixed. Trials and reviews support it most for some long-term pain in the back, neck, joints and tendons, and for oral mucositis during cancer treatment, though many studies are small and some found no benefit. Evidence for skin and hair is moderate. Claims such as weight loss or detox are not supported.
It depends on the goal. Some people notice easier movement within the first few sessions. Skin changes take eight to twelve weeks of regular sessions to show. Hair regrowth, where it occurs, takes four to six months. A typical starting course is three sessions a week for four to eight weeks, then maintenance.
Some do, within limits. A good home mask or panel can deliver a useful dose to the face or a small area if it is used consistently and its output matches what is claimed. Clinic systems differ in power, coverage and dose control: a 20-minute full-body NovoTHOR session treats the whole body at once, which a home panel cannot.
NovoTHOR is a full-body light pod that delivers red and near-infrared light across the whole body in a 20-minute session, for recovery and general wellbeing. THOR Laser is a handheld clinical device that treats a specific area, such as a tendon or joint, at greater depth and intensity. At Omnia we often combine the two.
Yes. At Omnia, red light therapy is often combined with manual therapy, physiotherapy, lymphatic drainage or acupuncture as part of a personalised plan.
There is no evidence that red light therapy causes cancer. Red and near-infrared light is non-ionising and contains no ultraviolet, so it does not damage DNA the way sunbeds do. The precaution clinics follow is not to shine light directly over a known active tumour. Red light is in fact used in cancer care to reduce treatment side effects such as oral mucositis.
At clinical doses with eye protection, no. Red light is bright and near-infrared is invisible, so goggles are worn in full-body sessions to avoid discomfort and as a precaution. The concern is staring into high-output panels or lasers without protection, not supervised treatment. Do not use red light devices on or around the eyes without medical advice.
For pattern hair loss, moderately, and only with devices designed for the scalp. Trials of red light helmets and combs at around 650 nm show increased hair density after four to six months of use several times a week. A full-body pod such as NovoTHOR is not a hair-loss treatment, and we do not offer it as one.
With regular sessions over eight to twelve weeks, red light therapy can modestly improve skin texture, fine lines, redness and overall tone by stimulating collagen production and reducing inflammation in the skin. It does not resurface, fill or lift, and it is not a replacement for sun protection. Results build gradually and need maintenance.
Most protocols start at three to five sessions a week for the first four to eight weeks, then reduce to one or two a week for maintenance. A full-body NovoTHOR session is 20 minutes; longer or daily sessions do not add benefit and can reduce it. For a specific injury, targeted laser is usually two or three times a week for two to four weeks.
