Red light therapy

I am considering changing one of our UV units to a Red light bed. I have been doing some research about red light but have never used one myself.

What are your thoughts on it? Does it work, is it worth the money?

What bulbs do you recommend?

Thank you!

Re: Red light therapy

It is the same technology that the derms use on the face; it just covers the whole body. Bulbs are expensive-$20 each or more but last 3 times as long. It is a good service add on, separates you from competition and increases the value of your packages if priced right. Isn't going to make you rich by itself.

Re: Red light therapy

In some markets it may work, but it did not in ours. We pushed it hard, got a lot of feedback about it, but no one was buying. It is a hard commitment to push. It is similar to people starting a diet. They want to see instant results and when they don't, they stop doing it.

We are converting red light at 2 of our locations back to regular UV units. The $200 a month for the one room wasn't worth it.

It also has a lot to do with the age of your clientele. The older the better. Try adding it on to your existing packages for an extra $20 a month to get
some people in it.
