Calm the Heat, Lift the Fog, Support Your Energy
There’s a moment, somewhere in the middle of menopause, when your body suddenly feels like it’s speaking a different language. The mood swings that seem to come out of nowhere. The sleep that disappears just when you need it most. The fatigue that feels unreasonable for someone who hasn’t exactly run a marathon that day. And the brain fog—the strange, surreal experience of losing your train of thought halfway through a sentence.
If you’re reading this and nodding… you’re in good company.
Menopause is a profound hormonal transition, not a malfunction. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. At Revive, we see every day how women in their 40s, 50s and beyond are carrying careers, families, ageing parents, responsibilities—and trying to manage symptoms that would bring most people to their knees.
For many women, Whole Body Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation) has become a quiet, powerful source of relief. A way to support mood, sleep, inflammation, energy and cognitive clarity during a stage of life that demands more steadiness, not less.
Here’s how it works—and why the science is so encouraging.
Why Menopause Feels So Intense
As oestrogen levels decline, a number of systems in the body are affected, including:
Thermoregulation (hello, hot flushes)
Sleep patterns
Mood stability
Cognitive function
Metabolism
Inflammation
Skin elasticity and collagen production
This isn’t “in your head”—it’s physiology.
Whole Body Red Light Therapy supports these systems at cellular level, providing energy to the tissues, glands and pathways most impacted by hormonal fluctuations.
How Whole Body Red Light Therapy Helps During Menopause
RLT works by delivering therapeutic wavelengths of red and near-infrared light deep into the tissues. These wavelengths stimulate mitochondria—the parts of the cell that create energy (ATP). When your cells have more energy, everything from mood to metabolism to tissue repair improves.
Below is what the research shows:
The Science: What Studies Tell Us
Red Light Therapy can improve menopausal sleep quality
Sleep disruption is one of the most common—and most debilitating—menopause symptoms. Several clinical studies show that RLT increases melatonin production and improves circadian rhythm stability, leading to better, deeper sleep.

It supports mood and reduces depressive symptoms
Declining oestrogen affects serotonin availability—one reason mood swings can feel so unpredictable. Red Light Therapy helps stimulate serotonin production and improve mitochondrial function in brain tissue, with studies demonstrating reductions in anxiety and depressive symptoms.

It helps reduce inflammation and joint pain
Around 50% of menopausal women experience joint pain. Research shows RLT reduces inflammatory markers, increases microcirculation and supports collagen formation—helping ease stiffness, swelling and discomfort throughout the body.

It boosts energy and reduces fatigue
Fatigue is one of the most under-discussed symptoms of menopause. RLT increases ATP production, leading to more consistent energy levels and improved cellular resilience.

It supports cognitive function and reduces brain fog
Studies show that red and near-infrared light increase cerebral blood flow and reduce oxidative stress—key contributors to memory issues and lack of focus during menopause.
Many women report clearer thinking within the first few weeks.

It improves skin health and collagen
As collagen drops by about 30% in the first five years of menopause, skin becomes thinner and less elastic. Whole Body Red Light boosts collagen synthesis and improves skin smoothness, firmness and hydration.

Why Whole Body Red Light Helps You Feel More “You” Again
It works systemically, not symptom-by-symptom
Menopause affects the whole body. Whole Body Red Light supports the whole body.
It’s deeply calming to the nervous system
Women often describe feeling grounded, soothed and more emotionally balanced after sessions.
It helps your body adapt to hormonal change
Not by replacing hormones—but by strengthening the systems that struggle when hormones decline.
It’s completely non-invasive
No heat, no downtime, no medication interactions—just gentle, restorative light.
What a Session Feels Like
Whole Body Red Light Therapy at Revive is around 12 minutes of guided calm. You simply lie back as the panel surrounds your body in warm, soft light. Most women report:
Feeling calmer almost immediately
Improved sleep within 3–5 sessions
Better energy and fewer mood dips
Reduction in aches, inflammation and joint pain
A noticeable softening of brain fog
And for many, it becomes a much-needed pause in a life that rarely stops.
