The tanning industry is experiencing a transformation. While the classic sun-kissed glow is still in demand, the spotlight has shifted to services that offer wellness benefits alongside beauty. Leading this shift are light therapies like red, blue, and poly light, which are redefining what it means to visit a tanning salon.
The Intersection of Beauty & Wellness
Today’s clients are no longer satisfied with treatments that focus only on appearance. They want services that also promote skin health, relaxation, and overall well-being. That’s why red light therapy has become such a game-changer in the industry. As explained in this article on why red light therapy is transforming beauty and wellness, the therapy goes beyond aesthetics, offering benefits like improved circulation, collagen stimulation, and reduced inflammation.

Light Therapies in the Tanning World
Here’s how light therapies are reshaping tanning experiences:
Red Light Therapy: Anti-aging, skin repair, and muscle recovery.
Blue Light Therapy: Acne-fighting, antibacterial benefits.
Poly Light Therapy: Multi-spectrum approach for customized skincare.
Studios are increasingly integrating these treatments into sunbeds or offering them as standalone sessions. This trend is part of a larger movement combining tanning, red light therapy, and even cryotherapy for full-body wellness.
