Tanning, when done responsibly and in moderation, can be part of a balanced lifestyle. It’s important to follow guidelines and use tanning equipment correctly to minimize risks. FDA also requires the use of protective eyewear.
Spray tanning provides a sunless option, using a mist to give the skin a tanned look without UV exposure. UV tanning involves exposure to ultraviolet rays, either in the sun or a tanning bed, which stimulates the skin’s production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color.
To prepare, shower and exfoliate to remove dead skin cells for a more even tan. Avoid wearing makeup, moisturizers, or perfumes to the session, as these can create a barrier on the skin.
The duration of a tan varies depending on the method used and your skin type. Generally, a UV tan can last for several days to a week.
Yes, even those with fair skin can tan, but it should be done more cautiously. glo Spa Consultants can help determine the best approach and exposure times to minimize the risk of burning and maximize the effectiveness of tanning.
To maintain your tan, moisturize regularly to keep the skin hydrated. For UV tanning, gradual and consistent exposure helps maintain the tan.

Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that uses low-wavelength red light to improve skin health, reduce inflammation, and aid in healing various conditions. It’s a non-invasive method that exposes the skin to red and near-infrared wavelengths.
RLT works by emitting low-level wavelengths of red light that penetrate the skin. This light is absorbed by the cells, stimulating cell regeneration and repair.
Benefits include improved skin health (like reduction in wrinkles, scars, redness, and acne), enhanced muscle recovery, pain reduction, inflammation control, and possibly improving symptoms of certain medical conditions.
Red light therapy is generally considered safe. It does not contain UV rays and is not invasive. However, it’s always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.
It is recommended to use red light 2-3 times per week, skipping a day in between and in conjunction with Red Light activated products.
While RLT is generally low-risk, some people might experience mild irritation, redness, or discomfort. It’s important to follow instructions for use provided by the glo Consultants.
Depending on the service, the sessions can vary between 10-20 minutes.
Red light and infrared light are both parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, but they have different wavelengths and, as a result, different properties and uses:
Red Light is visible to the human eye, while Infrared Light is not.
Red Light is effective for treating skin-related issues such as wrinkles, scars, and acne while Infrared Light is more effective for treating muscle issues, deeper tissues, and joints, as well as for promoting overall healing and pain relief.
Red Light generates less heat, focusing more on delivering energy to skin cells, while Infrared Light is often used for its warming effects, beneficial in muscle relaxation and improving circulation.
