You’ll lie comfortably inside the NovoTHOR® bed while your body is exposed to red and near-infrared light. There’s no exercise or effort required-simply relax and enjoy your 20-minute session.

For the best exposure to the light, most people choose to go without clothing during their session.This allows the light to reach as much of the body as possible.
You are also welcome to wear underwear or swimwear if that makes you more comfortable. The most important thing is that you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout your session.

There is very little preparation required. Staying well hydrated before and after your session is recommended and can help support your body throughout the treatment.
We also recommend arriving with clean skin and avoiding heavy lotions, oils or other products immediately before your session where possible.
If you have any questions about whether NovoTHOR is suitable for you, please get in touch before your session.

There is no required recovery time or downtime after a NovoTHOR session. You can return to your normal activities immediately afterwards.
Remember to keep hydrated after your session and continue drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

For optimum wellness, we recommend starting with weekly sessions to build consistency and allow you to experience the benefits of regular NovoTHOR use.
Once you have established a regular routine, you can move to monthly sessions for ongoing maintenance.
For specific goals such as recovery, preparing for surgery or travel, some people choose a more intensive schedule of up to three sessions per week.
Everyone is different, so if you're unsure what frequency is right for you, we're happy to discuss your individual goals.
