Low-level red & near-infrared light, no heat treatment required
Red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light delivered by an LED panel. You stand or sit a short distance from the panel, fully clothed or with the treatment area exposed, for a short session.
Unlike a tanning bed or sauna, there's no UV light and minimal heat — the panel simply bathes your skin in a warm red glow for the length of the session.
Sessions are quick, relaxing, and easy to add onto a massage, salt booth, or foot bath visit.
Reported benefits of red light therapy
Red light therapy is a complementary wellness service popular for recovery and skin-care goals. As with any treatment, results vary by person and consistency of use.
Skin support
Many guests use red light sessions to support a healthy skin appearance and an even, refreshed look over time.
Muscle recovery
Often paired with massage to support post-workout or post-massage muscle recovery and reduce that "worked over" soreness.
Circulation & energy
The warm, gentle light is often used to support local circulation and leaves many guests feeling recharged.

Your red light session, step by step
Get positioned
Stand or sit a short distance from the LED panel; protective eyewear is provided.
Expose treatment area
Depending on your goals, you may keep clothing on or expose the specific area being treated.
Relax for 10-20 min
Sessions are short — most run 10 to 20 minutes of warm, glowing light.
Go right back to your day
No downtime, no residue — head straight back out or into your next service.
Good to know before you book
If you're pregnant, have a photosensitive skin condition, or take medication that increases light sensitivity, check with your physician and let your therapist know before your session. Eye protection is provided and should always be worn. Red light therapy is a complementary wellness service, not a medical treatment.
Common red light therapy questions
Does it feel hot?
You'll feel a gentle, comfortable warmth — not the intense heat of a sauna or tanning bed.
Do I need to wear anything special?
Wear whatever's comfortable. If you're treating a specific area (like a shoulder or knee), you may expose that area during the session.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goals — some guests come for a single recovery session, others build it into a regular weekly routine. We can help you plan a schedule.
Can I pair it with massage or the salt booth?
Yes, red light therapy is a popular add-on to massage, cupping, salt booth, or foot bath visits.
Ready for your glow?
Book a standalone red light session or add it to your next visit.
