Joint Commission AccreditedThe only one in Florida
What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate your cells at the mitochondrial level. The light is absorbed by an enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase, which increases the energy (ATP) your cells produce and sets off the body’s own repair and recovery processes. There are no needles, no UV exposure, and no downtime.
At TrufaMED in Surfside, red light therapy runs on clinical-grade panels, not the lower-output devices sold for home use, and it is delivered inside the same Joint Commission-accredited facility that houses our IV therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Because the panel runs alongside your drip, red light therapy is included at no charge with every in-clinic IV session.
Two wavelengths, two depths of tissue
Our panels deliver light in two ranges at once, so the same session reaches both your skin and the deeper tissue beneath it. Cosmetic-grade panels rarely do both at a true therapeutic dose.
630 to 660 nm, visible red
Visible red light penetrates the upper layers of skin, where it supports skin cells, sebaceous glands, and surface capillaries. This is the range associated with skin rejuvenation, tone, and a healthier surface texture.
810 to 850 nm, near-infrared
Near-infrared light reaches further, into muscle tissue, joint capsules, and neural structures. This is the depth that matters for recovery, inflammation, and the deeper repair work that visible light alone cannot reach.
Energy at the mitochondria
Both wavelengths are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, the enzyme that drives your cells’ energy production. More available energy means the cell can repair and regenerate faster, which is the mechanism behind every red light therapy benefit.
What red light therapy is used for
Red light therapy is a standalone modality with a real evidence base. Many patients use it on its own, alongside an IV drip, without ever pursuing hyperbaric oxygen.
Skin and aesthetics
Visible red light supports collagen, skin tone, and surface texture, which is why red light therapy is so often used for skin rejuvenation and a healthier-looking complexion.
Muscle recovery
Athletes and active adults use red light to speed muscle repair and reduce soreness between training blocks, especially when paired with a recovery-focused IV drip.
Pain and inflammation
By calming inflammation at the cellular level, red light therapy can ease localized aches and support recovery from overuse and minor injury.
Cellular energy
More mitochondrial energy supports overall vitality and faster recovery, which is why red light is a common addition to longevity and wellness routines.
Post-procedure recovery
After aesthetic or minor surgical procedures, red light can support tissue repair and help resolve bruising and swelling more comfortably. Discuss timing with your physician first.
A complement to IV therapy
Because the panel runs during your drip, the systemic benefits of IV therapy and the cellular benefits of red light arrive in the same visit, at no added cost.
Why red light pairs so well with HBOT
Red light therapy and hyperbaric oxygen act on the same cellular energy system from different angles, so combining them produces a compounding effect that neither delivers alone.
Red light therapy
- Primes the mitochondria to produce more energy
- Reaches skin and surface tissue with visible red
- Reaches muscle and joints with near-infrared
- Calms inflammation at the cellular level
- Included with every in-clinic IV session
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT)
- Floods the body with dissolved oxygen under pressure
- Fuels the energy production red light primes
- Supports new blood vessel growth and tissue repair
- Reduces inflammation through oxygen-driven pathways
- Physician-supervised in a hard clinical chamber
Red light-primed mitochondria are better positioned to use the oxygen HBOT delivers. Learn about hyperbaric oxygen therapy or read the HBOT benefits explained.
IV, red light, and HBOT under one roof
Patients seeking serious recovery do not choose between modalities, they layer them. TrufaMED is one of the few facilities in the region where all three are available in one place, coordinated by board-certified physicians.
Start with an IV drip
A physician-formulated IV drip delivers hydration, micronutrients, and antioxidants directly to your bloodstream, customized to your goal: performance, immune support, energy, or recovery. Drips start at $225.
Red light runs alongside
While your drip works systemically, the clinical-grade red light panel stimulates your mitochondria at the surface and at depth. This step is included at no additional charge.
Add hyperbaric oxygen
For deeper recovery, a same-day or scheduled HBOT session delivers 100% oxygen under pressure, fueling the cellular energy your red light session primed.
Coordinated by a physician
Your physician sequences the stack to your goals and health history, so the modalities reinforce one another rather than simply stacking up on a bill.
Red light, included with your visit
There is no separate red light therapy fee. It is built into every in-clinic IV session and every concierge visit. Here is how the recovery stack is priced.

What a session is like
Red light therapy is one of the most comfortable treatments we offer. Here is what to expect at the Surfside suite.
Settle in for your IV
You arrive for your in-clinic IV session and get comfortable while a clinician starts your drip. The red light panel is positioned for your session at the same time.
Eye protection on
Our staff provides appropriate eye protection. There is no UV exposure, but we take care with the higher-intensity near-infrared light before the panel begins.
A gentle warmth
You feel a soft warmth as the panel runs. Most patients find the session relaxing and simply rest, read, or listen to audio while their drip and the light work together.
Back to your day
There is no downtime and no recovery period. You leave when your IV session is complete and return to your day right away. Hydration before and after is recommended.
Who gets the most from red light therapy
These are the patterns our physicians see most often. Each pairs red light with the rest of the stack a little differently.
Athletes and active adults
Faster muscle repair and less soreness between hard training blocks, especially when red light runs alongside a recovery IV drip.
Skin and aesthetic goals
Patients focused on skin tone, texture, and a healthier complexion, who want a clinical-grade panel rather than a home device.
Post-surgical recovery
Support for tissue repair and a more comfortable resolution of bruising and swelling after a procedure. Timing is set with your physician.
Chronic pain and inflammation
People managing ongoing inflammatory pain who are looking for a non-invasive, physician-guided addition to their plan.
Longevity and wellness
Health-conscious patients building cellular energy and recovery into a regular routine, often as part of their IV cadence.
Concierge members

The physicians guiding your protocol
Your recovery stack is directed by two board-certified physicians whose combined experience spans general surgery, emergency medicine, trauma, and wound care.
Dr. Gedalia earned his medical degree from Louisiana State University and completed his surgical residency at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York. He serves as Regional Chief Medical Officer for a surgical and wound-care program, experience that shapes how TrufaMED sequences red light, IV, and hyperbaric recovery.
Dr. Naidoo brings extensive adult and pediatric emergency, trauma, and critical-care experience from high-volume emergency departments across the East Coast. His training means every recovery plan is screened and supervised by a physician who has handled the most acute clinical situations.
This physician-first standard is why TrufaMED carries Joint Commission accreditation, held by only eight urgent care centers in the United States. It is the same standard applied to major hospitals, and it governs every session in the recovery stack.
What patients ask first
The questions patients across Miami, Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, and Surfside ask before their first session.
Is red light therapy really free at TrufaMED?
Yes. Red light therapy is included at no additional charge with every in-clinic IV session, and it is complimentary on every concierge member visit. In-clinic IV drips start at $225 and run 45 to 60 minutes, and the photobiomodulation panel runs alongside your drip. It is the simplest way to try clinical-grade red light therapy with no separate fee and no commitment.
Is red light therapy painful, and is there any downtime?
No. Red light therapy is non-invasive and entirely comfortable. There are no needles, no UV exposure, and no recovery time. Most patients feel a gentle warmth and find the session relaxing. There are no known side effects at therapeutic doses, so you can return to your day right after. Staying well hydrated before and after is recommended.
What wavelengths of red light do you use?
Our clinical-grade panels operate in the 630 to 660 nm visible red range and the 810 to 850 nm near-infrared range. The visible red wavelengths target skin cells and surface capillaries, while the near-infrared wavelengths reach deeper into muscle, joint, and neural tissue. This dual-wavelength approach is calibrated for therapeutic dosing, not the lower output of cosmetic-grade panels.
How does red light therapy work?
Red and near-infrared light is absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme inside your mitochondria. That absorption increases the cell’s energy production (ATP) and sets off a repair-and-recovery signaling cascade. The result is supported skin rejuvenation, reduced inflammation, faster muscle recovery, and improved cellular energy. This process is called photobiomodulation.
Why pair red light therapy with hyperbaric oxygen?
Red light therapy and HBOT both act on the same cellular energy system, the mitochondria, from different angles. Red light primes the mitochondria to produce more energy, and HBOT then floods the body with dissolved oxygen that fuels that process. Used together they also reduce inflammation through complementary pathways. The pairing is most powerful for deep-tissue recovery, surgical healing, and performance.
Do I need eye protection during red light therapy?
We provide appropriate eye protection for every session. Red and near-infrared light at therapeutic doses does not carry the UV risk of tanning devices, but direct exposure to high-intensity panels is not recommended, particularly for near-infrared wavelengths. Our staff makes sure you are properly protected before each session begins.
How often should I have red light therapy?
It depends on your goal. For skin and aesthetic goals, daily sessions during an initial phase are common, then 2 to 3 times per week for maintenance. For systemic recovery, 2 to 3 sessions per week is typical. Because red light is included with each in-clinic IV session, many patients build it into a regular IV cadence. Your physician sets the protocol that fits your goals.
Is red light therapy covered by insurance?
Red light therapy is generally not covered by insurance as a standalone service, so it is offered self-pay, and it is complimentary with every in-clinic IV session. Hyperbaric oxygen coverage varies: FDA-cleared HBOT indications such as wound healing may be covered by Medicare or private plans, while wellness-oriented HBOT is typically self-pay. Our team can provide documentation to support a coverage inquiry.
How do I get started with red light therapy at TrufaMED?
The easiest first step is to book an in-clinic IV session, where red light therapy is included at no charge. That gives you a clinical-grade experience with no separate commitment. To add hyperbaric oxygen, contact our team for a physician consultation so we can review your history and design your protocol. You can also call (305) 537-6396 or visit us at 9445 Harding Ave in Surfside.
