Red Light Therapy comes to Salt + Light Hair Co.
You might’ve seen the face mask version on TikTok/Instagram or driven past a wellness spa marketing a red light room… but, does a light really help?
I’m here to share that it does! I ordered the salon’s own red light box for you to experience ultimate relaxation without needing to grab a face mask or pay a membership at a wellness spa. My husband and I have our own red light therapy box and we’re fans!
Red light therapy has been around for a long time but is now more popular and seems to be trending! Sitting by an infra-red light box has a myriad of benefits including:
Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
Reduces inflammation
Downregulates your nervous system
Helps to prevent sunburns
Improves scarring
Helps with acne spots
Helps to promote the body’s collagen production
The infra-red light goes a little deeper into the skin and stimulates the mitochondria in skin cells. By this stimmulation all of these benefits come into play!
After listening to a holistic dentist talk on a podcast about how he’ll have his patients sit in a red light therapy room to down regulate their nevous system before doing any dental procedures, it got me thinking. I don’t have windows in my current suite AND most of time there comes a point where my guest is processing 15-40 min at a time for color, clear gloss glaze, hair treatment, etc. SO why not bring one in and create the ultimate relaxing environment for them to escape from the daily to-do list?
Now when a guest comes to my salon, they’ll have the option while they process to unwind by sitting by a red light therapy box, listen to spa music, and relax under a heated blanket. I’ve had 3 fall asleep while they’ve been processing - I love it! Everyone deserves to have a recharge, so why not do it while you’re processing?
Have a good hair day!
