Photobiomodulation is frequently abbreviated to PBM and is the scientific term for what is also known as ‘red light therapy’ or ‘low-level laser therapy’. It involves the utilization of non-ionizing photonic energy to trigger photochemical changes within cellular structures. That energy is delivered through either low-level lasers or at FreedomLight Therapy Center, with light emitting diodes, more commonly known as LEDs.
This light is known to interact with mitochondria (found in all cells) to improve the level of chemical energy it produces to power the cell’s biochemical reaction – such as the healing process of damaged cells.
It is generally accepted that the application of a therapeutic dose of light to non-functioning or damaged tissue can create a cellular response mediated by mitochondrial mechanisms. Numerous studies have shown that these changes can positively impact pain and inflammation, as well as speed up tissue repair. Read More…
If you have only just heard about photobiomodulation or red-light therapy, it may surprise you just how many ways such a treatment can help improve your health and wellbeing. Here are just a few of the most well-known benefits:
Speeding up recovery after a strenuous workout
Improving hormonal balance through targeting specific endocrine glands
Maintaining the musculoskeletal system through regeneration of tendons and joints
Improved eye health as the light wavelengths of near-infrared light do not harm the retina
Better sleep through optimization of your circadian rhythm
Improved nail, skin, and hair conditioning through improved collagen production
General health in the long term through PBM’s ability to have a positive effect on mitochondria
Reducing inflammation through specific targeting
Light has beneficial effects in counteracting seasonal depression when the dark evenings roll in, while also improving brain health through the synthesis of activating neurotransmitters

To make treatments as accessible as possible and to enable you to schedule sessions at a time to suit you, whether during the day, in the evening or early in the morning, two of our three treatments are ‘self-administered’ and are available to members 24/7/365 at our conveniently located FreedomLight Therapy Center in Owasso.
This was our first ‘pod’ and has proven to be extremely popular. The ReGen Pod is FDA cleared for pain relief, which is important as this gives you extra peace of mind when using equipment that is ‘new to market’. The pod uses Stim-Cell® technology which, according to the manufacturer: “To create the best outcomes, we design equipment to use every possible option to stimulate the cells to help the body repair damage. The ReGen Pod is the only light therapy pod based on Stim-Cell® Technology. Stim-cell technology combines all the best practices of light therapy with other secondary modalities into one integrated system for ultimate results. Our proprietary Stim-Cell technology is based on four key elements:
Advanced Optics

Produced by TheraLight in Lindon, Utah, the TheraLight 360 Pod is also FDA cleared for pain relief and is the second ‘pod’ we acquired. There are slight differences between the TheraLight 360 Pod and the ReGen Pod, in that it uses red and near infra-red light in four wavelengths while providing a full-body treatment.
TheraLight has been recognized by Global Health & Pharma and MedTech Outlook for the company’s “excellence and innovation in phototherapy devices.”
We recommend 20-minute sessions with the TheraLight 360 Pod and experience suggests that you will find it good for helping to metabolise free radicals and to promote a general feeling of well-being and boosted energy. We find that the TheraLight 360 promotes relaxing sleep and calms frazzled nerves.

Our Firefly Light Treatment (Firefly) is the only one of our therapies that is administered by a trained member of staff. Manufactured by California-based Bales Photonics, Firefly is a multi-spectrum LED light therapy for pain, neurological disorders, and any issues with viruses, harmful bacteria etc. (pathogens).
Firefly light therapy uses multiple wave lengths of blue, red, and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin. The blue wavelengths affect the surface of the skin. Red penetrates tissue and is absorbed by the blood. Near-infrared light penetrates tissue up to a depth of eight inches.
Firefly uses a powerful wave of light to penetrate skin, tissue, and surrounding nerves to treat soft tissue injuries, reduce pain, promote wound healing, and provide therapy for chronic pain conditions.
Back in 1979 an American Entrepreneur by the name of Victor Kiam bought himself a new electric razor. He was so impressed with it, he ended up buying the company and in so doing, he created one of the most iconic advertising slogans and catchphrases of all time – “I liked it so much I bought the company”.
My story has similarities, though regrettably I am not sufficiently wealthy to buy the companies that manufacture red-light therapy or PBM machines! Some time ago I was unwell and in need of some form of treatment that would help to reduce much of the pain I was dealing with, and something that would help me to get my energy levels back to where they used to be.
A dear friend asked me if I had ever heard of photobiomodulation and the rest, as they say, is history. I was quite shocked at how effective the treatment was so I began to do further research and the more I discovered, the more convinced I was that I might be able to help others in the way it has been helping me.
Over the next few months, I sought out people who had also received PBM therapy and was greatly encouraged when it became abundantly clear that while scientists are still trying to work out exactly what the treatment does, clearly it was achieving something remarkably beneficial for so many people.
This all convinced me to set up the FreedomLight Therapy Center here in Owasso back in March 2022 and as word is spreading, so our membership numbers are growing.
We hope that the following FAQs will provide the answers to any questions you may have. However, if anything is still unclear or if you have an additional questions you would like answered, please do not hesitate to give us a call (539) 525-5356 or send us an email info@freedomlighttherapy.com.
Q. Can I overdo the therapy and have too many sessions?
A. 20 minutes a day is the maximum time for this therapy. Sessions need to be at least 24 hours apart, optimally 48 hours between sessions, ideally 3 to 5 times per week until you achieve the desired results. Thereafter this can be reduced down to 1 to 2 times per week for ‘maintenance’. If you schedule more than 7 session a week, you may reduce the treatment’s effectiveness, which is the only negative result from ‘overdoing’ the therapy.
Q. Can I have an hour’s session in one go or is that dangerous?
A. One hour is too long for this therapy. 20 minutes each day is the maximum length of time recommended for any of our light therapies.
Q. I have fair skin; will the light affect me like a sun tanning bed?
A. Fair skin can obtain results faster. These beds do not emit UV light. You will not be able to tan or get a sunburn with our light therapy. UV light wavelengths are what cause sunburn. PBM does not use light of the same wavelength as it is those ionizing wavelengths which cause damage created by free radicals. Instead, our light wavelengths are non-ionizing and neutralize free radicals.
Q. Can the light used increase your chances of getting skin cancer?
A. There is no research that indicates that red light, the light frequency used for PBM, causes skin cancer. This is primarily because it does not tan the skin.
Q. What is the difference between your light bed and a tanning sun bed?
A. We use different wave lengths of light than a tanning sunbed. We use 635nm, 810nm, 940nm, and 980nm. UVA is 315 – 400 nm. UVB is 290 – 320nm. UVC is 40 – 280nm. These are the wavelengths that cause harm to skin and also provide a tan.
Q. Should I bring bottled water with me?
A. Feel free to bring water if you wish. We have free bottled water available on-site. Your cells will absorb more healing light if you are well hydrated.
Q. What sort of clothing should I wear?
A. The choice is entirely up to you. Most individuals do not wear any clothing in the bed/pod. Something easy to get in and out of would make it simpler for you. For a Firefly treatment we will need to expose your tummy, shinbones, plus any area in which you may be experiencing pain.
Q. Do I need to remove all jewellery to avoid it getting too hot?
A. Not necessary as your jewellery will not get hot. This is a light-based therapy rather than a heat-based one. This therapy is also safe for individuals with metal plates and pacemakers.
Q. Is there someone there who I can talk to about the best treatment?
A. Yes, we have staff available from 9 am to 5 pm to ask questions about your current health problems and goals and help guide you to appropriate Photobiomodulation protocols.
Q. Is there someone there who can help diagnose any physical problem I may have?
A. We do not provide medical advice (please refer to our medical disclaimer). We only provide advice on the use of PBM and how to get the best results from our equipment.
Q. Are your treatment costs recoverable through Medicare or my medical health insurance?
A. Unfortunately, Photobiomodulation is not yet covered by insurance in the USA.
Q. Are there any age restrictions for therapy?
A. We are delighted to say we have a client who is over 100 years old who comes by for three treatments a week. The minimum age for the Firefly is five years old and the minimum age for the pods is 14. Anyone under age 18 needs parental consent to receive treatment.
Q. Are the treatments safe for women who are pregnant or anyone who is suffering from cancer?
A. We do not recommend treatments during pregnancy or active cancer. There have not been sufficient studies to show if Photobiomodulation is safe or beneficial during pregnancy or for persons with cancer.
Photobiomodulation, also known as red-light therapy, is a non-invasive therapy.
Any individual who is considering using Photobiomodulation for the treatment of any ailment should seek advice from their clinical practitioner or a healthcare professional in advance to ensure that the ailment in question could benefit from such treatment and is not of a more serious nature requiring a more comprehensive medical intervention.
