When is the optimal time to administer red light therapy – before or after a workout? The answer may surprise you. While both options offer unique advantages, emerging research suggests that incorporating red light therapy before exercise may yield the most significant results for fat burning and body sculpting.
At Contour Light, we’re committed to providing you with the knowledge and resources to maximize your clients’ success. Let’s explore the science behind red light therapy, the benefits of red light therapy before and after workout, and how our innovative Contour Light System can elevate your fitness or weight loss business to new heights.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy Before a Workout
Red light therapy delivers specific therapeutic light energy wavelengths to the body’s tissues. This red and near infrared lights stimulate the mitochondria within cells, increasing energy production and triggering a cascade of beneficial effects.
Improved Performance and Endurance
Multiple clinical studies have suggested that red light therapy administered before a workout improves athletic performance and endurance. The increased cellular energy enhances muscle function and reduces fatigue, allowing your clients to safely push harder and achieve better results during their workouts.
Enhanced Fat Burning
Hundreds of studies have shown that red light therapy stimulates the mitochondria in the cells to liquify and release fat and toxins into the lymphatic system to be eliminated. However, the lymphatic system does not circulate on its own. It needs movement, such as exercise, to move fat and toxins out of the body. Red light therapy increases blood flow and oxygen to the muscles, and primes the body for enhanced fat oxidation during exercise. Together with targeted workouts, red light therapy is the perfect complement to ensure optimal fat loss results.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy After a Workout
There are many benefits of red light therapy before and after a workout. While pre-workout red light therapy may offer a slight edge in fat burning and endurance, post-workout treatments have their own unique advantages.
Accelerated Muscle Recovery
Red light therapy’s anti-inflammatory benefits play a vital role in muscle recovery after exercise. By increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation and promoting accelerated tissue repair, it can relieve muscle soreness and speed up recovery time, enabling your clients to get back to their workouts faster.
Reduced Oxidative Stress
Intense exercise can lead to oxidative stress, damaging cells and contributing to fatigue. Red light therapy has been proven to reduce oxidative stress, improving recovery and minimizing the negative effects of exercise.
“Our whole business model is centered around the Contour Light delivery system for body sculpting, reduced pain, and increased blood flow. These are just the FDA-cleared items. We are a boutique wellness fitness concept, and each of our client sessions starts with a spa treatment using the Contour Light. I get chills and sometimes tears in my eyes on a daily basis…we have clients with fibromyalgia and pain who now have stopped taking their pain meds and are able to sleep. We have one client who lost 25 lbs. in our first 2 months of being open with Contour Light red light therapy sessions only.”
