Non-invasive light therapy designed to support post-surgical healing, reduce inflammation, and accelerate your return to normal life. Serving Clive, West Des Moines, Urbandale, Johnston, Waukee, and the greater Des Moines metro.
After surgery, your body enters an intensive repair phase that requires significant cellular energy. Research suggests red and near-infrared light may support this process by promoting mitochondrial function (more energy for healing cells), supporting the body's anti-inflammatory response (reducing swelling), and promoting angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation for better nutrient delivery to healing tissues). At LightLab Wellness, our full-body system supports systemic healing — not just the surgical site — because your entire body is working to recover.

The Des Moines metro is home to major surgical centers — Iowa Methodist, MercyOne, UnityPoint — and thousands of residents undergo procedures each year. LightLab Wellness in Clive is conveniently located between these hospital systems on University Ave, making post-surgical sessions easy to integrate into your recovery schedule. Many of our post-surgical clients are referred by physical therapists and orthopedic providers along the University Ave medical corridor. Always get clearance from your surgeon before beginning any post-surgical wellness protocol.
