Red Light Therapy

Lume Wellness in Chicago's River North neighborhood offers FDA-cleared LightStim LED red light therapy sessions. Multi-wavelength panels emit 630–850 nm light to support collagen and elastin production, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture, and help calm inflammation, acne, and rosacea. Standard sessions last 20 minutes, with no downtime required. Members access sessions via four Tech Credits through the monthly membership program.

Red light therapy at Lume Wellness Chicago uses FDA-cleared LightStim LED technology to deliver multi-wavelength photobiomodulation across a range of 630–850 nm. This span covers both visible red wavelengths (effective for surface-level skin concerns like tone, texture, and pigmentation) and near-infrared wavelengths (which penetrate more deeply to support cellular energy production and inflammation modulation). Sessions are 20 minutes in a clean, private room with no preparation or recovery required — clients can return to work or daily activities immediately after. The primary applications at Lume span two categories. Skin-focused clients use red light therapy to stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, reduce redness associated with rosacea, and accelerate healing from acne breakouts or post-procedure recovery. Recovery-focused clients — including athletes and active professionals — use near-infrared exposure to support muscle recovery, joint comfort, and systemic inflammation reduction between training sessions or after travel. LightStim panels are among the most clinically studied LED devices available in non-clinical wellness settings. The FDA-clearance status means the device has passed safety and performance review for the indicated uses, distinguishing it from consumer-grade LED masks or lower-intensity panels. At Lume, red light therapy integrates naturally with the clinic's other modalities — it pairs well with IV therapy for a combined skin-glow and hydration protocol, or alongside cryotherapy and HBOT for a comprehensive performance-recovery session. Members access each red light session for four Tech Credits, making it one of the most credit-efficient services in the Lume membership program. Pricing is available through the booking portal. The River North clinic at 351 W Hubbard Street serves clients from the Loop, Gold Coast, West Loop, Fulton Market, and Lincoln Park.
