Services
Spray Tanning
Our spray tanning services use advanced systems like Mystic Tan Unity and VersaPro for flawless, natural-looking results. The technology delivers even application with customizable solutions for all skin tones. Sessions take under 2 minutes, using paraben-free, gluten-free formulas that last up to a week with proper care.
Red Light Therapy
Advanced Red Light Therapy (A.R.T.) stimulates cellular function using optimized wavelengths for skin rejuvenation and pain relief. The non-invasive treatment improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing for conditions like arthritis and muscle recovery. Sessions target specific areas or the entire body.
Emerald Laser
Emerald Laser is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment using low-level laser technology to target stubborn areas. FDA-cleared for BMIs up to 40, it breaks down fat cells without downtime. Clients typically see visible results in 3-5 sessions, with optimal outcomes from 10-16 treatments combined with a healthy lifestyle.
Infrared Sauna
Our infrared saunas deliver deep-penetrating heat at lower temperatures (110-145F) for detoxification and relaxation. The treatment improves circulation, supports cardiovascular health, and burns 900-2400 calories per session. Made with non-toxic Aspen wood, sessions last up to 50 minutes for maximum wellness benefits.
Cryotherapy
Whole-body and localized cryotherapy expose the body to subzero temperatures (-230F) for 3-5 minutes. This reduces inflammation, accelerates muscle recovery, and tightens skin. Localized treatments target specific areas for pain relief and cosmetic improvements like reduced puffiness and improved skin texture.
