Where is the red light bed and how do I book?

Red light + PEMF + binaural beats is available at our Kelham Urban Spa, 8 Shepherd Street, Sheffield S3 7BA. Book through the R1SE app or /spa/red-light. The Wellness Experience extension is at /spa/wellness-experience.

Do I have to do all three (red light + PEMF + binaural beats) or can I do just one?

The R1SE session bundles all three because they're complementary — different cellular and neural systems, all working in parallel. We don't currently offer them as separate components. Members occasionally ask for red light alone; we'd rather you do the full bundle as designed.

How often should I do red light at R1SE?

For sustained cellular benefits: 2-3 times per week. For an acute recovery boost: 1 session within 24h of demanding training. For specific goals (hair regrowth, skin, joint pain): 3-5 sessions per week for the first 12-16 weeks per the published protocols, then maintenance.

What wavelengths does the bed use?

Both clinically-validated wavelength bands: 630-660nm red for skin/surface tissue, 810-850nm near-infrared for deep tissue. This dual-wavelength approach is what the published RCT evidence uses — most home panels only deliver one band or the other.

How much does a session cost?

Current single-session and credit-pack pricing is on /pricing. R1SE members get the best per-session rate. The Wellness Experience is priced separately from the standalone 30-min red light + PEMF session.

Can I combine red light with HBOT or ice bath the same day?

Yes — common stacks include red light before HBOT (ATP support), red light before strength training (mitochondrial primer), and red light after cold for the parasympathetic landing. Avoid running it immediately after a heavy ice bath if you've gone deep — give the autonomic system 30+ minutes to settle first.

Do I need to wear anything specific?

Comfortable clothing. The clinical evidence is on skin exposure (the photons need to reach skin), but full-body exposure isn't required — face, hands, forearms work for many of the cosmetic and cognitive effects. Many members wear shorts and t-shirts; some prefer less for deeper skin coverage.

Will I feel anything during the session?

Most members feel: gentle warmth from the bed (not from the light itself, which is non-thermal), the soft pulsing of the PEMF mat, and the binaural beats in the headset. Many fall into a sleep-adjacent state. You won't feel the cellular effects directly — those happen at the mitochondrial level.

Can I use my phone or read during the session?

We discourage it. The 30-minute window is the most valuable nervous-system reset you'll have all week — phones disrupt the autonomic settling. Just lie there. The bed and the binaural beats do the work.

Red + PEMF + Beats

01 · Three modalities, one session

Three cellular signals running in parallel.

R1SE bundles three complementary modalities into a single 30-minute experience because they work on different systems simultaneously — cellular, electromagnetic, and neural. Stacked, the effect is greater than the sum.

Red Light Therapy

630–660nm red + 810–850nm near-infrared

Clinical-grade wavelengths delivered from the bed's LED panels. Red light absorbed in skin and shallow tissue (2–10mm); near-infrared penetrates deep (30–40mm) for muscle, joint, and brain effects. The mechanism is cytochrome c oxidase activation in mitochondria — more ATP, less oxidative stress, faster cellular repair.

PEMF Therapy

Pulsed electromagnetic field, integrated mat

Low-frequency electromagnetic pulses pass through the body, supporting cellular communication, reducing inflammation, and (per the original FDA-cleared application) supporting bone healing. R1SE's PEMF runs through a mat integrated with the red light bed — one session, both modalities.

Binaural Beats

Headset, brainwave entrainment

A headset delivers two slightly different frequencies to each ear. Your brain perceives the difference as a pulsing beat, gently guiding brainwave activity into deep relaxation and recovery states. Combined with the calm of the bed and the cellular signalling of red light + PEMF, this completes the cellular-and-nervous-system reset.

02 · A session, step by step

What 30 minutes on the bed actually looks like.

Arrive 5 minutes early

Kelham Urban Spa, 8 Shepherd Street. Check in and get directed to the bed. The team will brief you if it's your first session.

Settle on the bed

The bed is large, padded, and warm. You lie on your back. The PEMF mat sits beneath you; the red light panels arc above. The headset for binaural beats is provided.

Eye protection on

Goggles or eye covers protect your eyes from direct light exposure. Red light at therapeutic doses isn't harmful, but direct prolonged exposure is uncomfortable.

30 minutes of cellular signalling

Red light + PEMF + binaural beats run simultaneously for 30 minutes. Most members fall into a meditative or sleep-adjacent state within 5–10 minutes. You don't need to do anything — the protocols run themselves.

Slow exit

The bed gradually returns to ambient. Take a minute to sit up. Most members feel calm, slightly warm, and pleasantly heavy. The cellular signal continues working for hours after exit.

03 · Two ways to book

Standalone or the full Wellness Experience.

Standalone 30-min Session

30 minutes

Includes: Red light + PEMF + binaural beats

Wellness Experience (75-min)

75 minutes

Includes: Red light + PEMF + binaural beats → Compression Therapy → optional Fire & Ice

Best for: The full recovery journey. The flagship guided experience. Best for first-time members, members deep into protocol practice, or anyone wanting the full cellular — circulatory — thermal stack in one session.
