NovoTHOR Red Light Therapy Sydney: Whole-Body Photobiomodulation Explained
Red light therapy has become one of the most talked about recovery tools in wellness, but not all red light devices are built the same. For those searching for red light therapy Sydney, our Double Bay clinic uses the NovoTHOR - a whole body red light therapy bed that delivers TGA approved red light therapy and is considered the gold class standard across Australia. As the NovoTHOR Sydney choice for many, our team focuses on evidence-led care.
What Makes NovoTHOR Different
Unlike smaller handheld devices or face masks, the NovoTHOR is a full body bed, meaning your entire body is exposed to therapeutic wavelengths in a single twenty minute session, rather than treating one small area at a time.
It's also the only light bed with independently researched and published clinical results, so the therapy you're receiving is backed by real evidence, not just trends.
The Science: What Is Photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation is the process by which specific wavelengths of light are absorbed by the body and used to support cellular function and mitochondrial health. The NovoTHOR uses two wavelengths in particular, red light at 660 nanometres and near infrared light at 850 nanometres. Both penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the mitochondria, the part of the cell responsible for producing energy, making this a form of cellular energy therapy.
Once absorbed, this light stimulates an enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase, which increases ATP production, the fuel your cells use to function and repair themselves. With more available energy, cells are better equipped to carry out repair processes throughout the body.
What This Supports
This cellular level effect is what underpins the therapy's broader benefits. These red light therapy benefits include reduced inflammation and oxidative stress, enhanced circulation and oxygen delivery throughout the body, and support for tissue repair, skin health and red light therapy recovery.
Because the entire body is treated at once rather than a single area, clients often use NovoTHOR sessions as part of a broader recovery routine, whether that's supporting training recovery, skin health, or simply general wellbeing.
What to Expect During a Session
A NovoTHOR session takes twenty minutes, and there's no downtime afterwards, so it fits easily into a lunch break or before or after another appointment. You'll lie inside the whole body bed while the red and near infrared light works, with nothing required from you beyond relaxing for the twenty minutes.
Many of our clients pair their NovoTHOR session with another therapy in the same visit, such as HBOT or an IV, making the most of their time at the clinic.

Q&A
Question: What makes NovoTHOR different from smaller red light devices?
Short answer: NovoTHOR is a full-body red light therapy bed that treats your entire body in a single 20-minute session, rather than targeting one small area at a time. It delivers TGA-approved red and near-infrared light and is the only light bed with independently researched and published clinical results. Considered the gold class standard across Australia, it’s the NovoTHOR Sydney choice for many seeking evidence-led care.
Question: What is photobiomodulation and how does NovoTHOR use it?
Short answer: Photobiomodulation is the absorption of specific light wavelengths by the body to support cellular function and mitochondrial health. NovoTHOR uses 660 nm red light and 850 nm near-infrared light, which are absorbed by mitochondria and stimulate cytochrome c oxidase. This boosts ATP production - the cell’s energy - helping cells carry out repair processes more effectively.
Question: What benefits can whole-body NovoTHOR therapy support?
Short answer: The cellular energy boost underpins broader benefits, including reduced inflammation and oxidative stress, enhanced circulation and oxygen delivery, and support for tissue repair, skin health, and recovery. Because the entire body is treated at once, clients often include NovoTHOR in routines for training recovery, skin health, or general wellbeing.
Question: What should I expect during and after a session?
Short answer: A session lasts 20 minutes. You lie inside the whole-body bed while the red and near-infrared light works - nothing is required beyond relaxing. There’s no downtime afterward, so it fits easily into a lunch break or around other appointments, and many clients pair it with therapies like HBOT or an IV in the same visit.
