At ReGen Rooms in Leamington Spa, we specialise in cutting-edge, non-invasive therapies that accelerate recovery, improve performance, and support overall wellness. Two of our most popular technologies are the NovoTHOR XL bedand the Celler8 system—both using red and near-infrared light, but with unique differences in application, strength, and therapeutic focus.

Whether you’re an athlete recovering from intense training, managing chronic pain, or simply seeking better energy and sleep, understanding the differences between these two systems can help you choose the right one for your needs.

What Do NovoTHOR and Celler8 Have in Common?

Both NovoTHOR and Celler8 use Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT), also known as red light therapy. This involves applying specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared (NIR) light to the body, which are absorbed by cells and help:

Boost mitochondrial function and ATP production
Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
Improve circulation and tissue oxygenation
Accelerate healing and muscle repair

While the foundational science is similar, the delivery and scope of each system are quite different.

NovoTHOR XL Bed: Full-Body, Passive Red Light Therapy

The NovoTHOR is a whole-body therapy bed that bathes the user in clinically proven red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light across every major muscle group and joint. The session is completely passive—just lie down and let the light do the work.

Best for:

Whole-body recovery and athletic performance
Chronic pain and systemic inflammation
Fatigue, stress, and mood regulation
Post-exercise soreness and endurance training recovery
General wellness, immune support, and skin rejuvenation

Why choose NovoTHOR?

NovoTHOR is ideal if your symptoms are widespread or if you're looking for overall recovery, not just a targeted area. Its passive nature makes it perfect for relaxation and nervous system regulation, and it’s commonly used by elite athletes and sports rehab clinics for post-training recovery.

Typical session time: 15 minutes
Recommended frequency: 2–3 times per week, depending on condition

Celler8: Targeted Therapy with PEMF Integration

Celler8 offers a more targeted, hands-on approach, combining red and near-infrared light therapy with Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy. While it can be used for general wellness, Celler8 truly excels when focusing on specific pain points, injuries, or performance recovery areas.

Best for:

Localised joint pain (knees, shoulders, elbows)
Injury recovery (sprains, strains, soft tissue repair)
Tendinitis and ligament issues
Chronic pain or neuropathic conditions
Energy regulation and circadian rhythm support (via PEMF)

Why choose Celler8?

PEMF technology enhances cellular repair by stimulating electrical activity in cells—particularly beneficial for improving circulation in poorly perfused areas or supporting long-term injury recovery. If you're dealing with a specific injury or persistent problem area, Celler8 allows us to focus therapeutic energy precisely where it's needed.

Typical session time: 20–30 minutes
Recommended frequency: 2–4 times per week for targeted conditions

Which Should You Choose?

Choose NovoTHOR if you:

Want a full-body, passive recovery session
Are recovering from systemic fatigue or heavy training
Are looking to improve mood, energy, or skin health
Need relief from widespread inflammation or pain

Choose Celler8 if you:

Are recovering from a specific injury or chronic pain in one area
Want to stimulate healing in joints, ligaments, or tendons
Are seeking the added benefit of PEMF therapy
Need support with sleep regulation, stress, or nerve-related issues

Need Help Deciding?

We’re here to help you personalise your treatment plan. Many of our clients combine both technologies in a weekly routine—using NovoTHOR for general systemic support and Celler8 for injury-specific recovery or PEMF-focused sessions.

Whether you're recovering from injury, looking to optimise training, or simply want to feel better in your day-to-day life, ReGen Rooms offers the best of both worlds with industry-leading equipment and expert guidance.
