Vitality BoothTM – Salt Therapy & Red Light Therapy
Introducing the Vitality Booth – the only product that combines both Salt Therapy and Red Light Therapy – and in a gorgeous unit! The synergy of the two modalities, when used simultaneously, is tremendous and backed by research and our
pending-patent! Vitality Booth also features a blue light UV sanitation system.
We are very pleased to be working with one of the top Red Light manufacturers – with their integrated red light panels that are approved as Class II medical devices by the F.D.A.
FEATURES
Halotherapy - HaloGXTM Halogenerator
This revolutionary new halogenerator delivers salt
therapy with the highest efficacy by creating the
smallest sized salt particles. The Vitality BoothTM
has been optimized to include the Halotherapy
Solutions HaloGXTM halogenerator.
Red Light Therapy - Red Light Panels
The powerful devices provide scientifically validated
wavelengths of Deep Red (660 nm) and Near Infrared
(850 nm) light from above, front and the sides. Red light
is absorbed by the skin, boosting collagen production &
aiding skin conditions. Near Infrared penetrates deeper
aiding muscle recovery, cellular renewal and joint pain.
F.D.A. approved as Class II medical devices.
UV Light Sanitation System is included
Provides cleaning between sessions, using Ultra
Violet Light. Exposure to ultraviolet light modifies
or destroys the genetic material (DNA and RNA) in
viruses, bacteria and mold, preventing replication.

FAQ’s
How does red light therapy work?
Red light therapy works by emitting red or near-infrared light that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the cells. This light energy stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy source for cells, enhancing their function and promoting various healing processes.
What are the benefits of red light therapy?
- Improving skin health: RLT can help reduce wrinkles, scars, and acne by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation.
- Pain relief: It can alleviate pain and inflammation in muscles and joints, making it beneficial for conditions such as arthritis and sports injuries.
- Wound healing: RLT accelerates the healing of wounds and reduces the appearance of scars.
- Mood enhancement: It has been shown to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
- Boosting immune function: RLT can enhance the body’s natural defense mechanisms by stimulating cellular activity.
Is red light therapy safe?
Yes, red light therapy is generally considered safe when used appropriately. It is non-invasive, painless, and does not involve harmful UV radiation. However, it is essential to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and consult with a healthcare provider if you have any underlying health conditions or concerns.
Who should avoid red light therapy?
While red light therapy is safe for most people, certain individuals should exercise caution or avoid it altogether. These include:
- Individuals with photosensitive conditions or those taking photosensitizing medications.
- People with a history of skin cancer or other concerns that could be exacerbated by light exposure.
- Pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before starting RLT.
How often should I use red light therapy?
The frequency of red light therapy sessions can vary based on individual needs and goals. Generally, it is recommended to start with 3-5 sessions per week for the first few weeks, then adjust based on your specific response and desired outcomes. Some people may benefit from daily use, while others may find less frequent treatments sufficient.
How long does it take to see results?
The time it takes to see results from red light therapy can vary depending on the condition being treated and individual factors. Some people may notice improvements within a few sessions, while others may take several weeks to experience significant changes. Consistency and adherence to a regular treatment schedule are key to achieving optimal results.
What should I do before and after a red light therapy session?
Before a red light therapy session, ensure that your skin is clean and free of any lotions or makeup, as these can interfere with light absorption. After the session, you can resume your regular activities, but it is advisable to keep the treated area hydrated and protected from excessive sun exposure.
Can I combine red light therapy with other treatments?
Yes, red light therapy can often be combined with other treatments to enhance overall results. For example, it can be used alongside skincare routines, physical therapy, or other wellness practices. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider or a trained professional to ensure compatibility and safety.
Where can I access red light therapy?
Red light therapy is available in various settings, including medical clinics, spas, wellness centers, and even for home use through portable devices. When choosing a provider or device, ensure they are reputable and follow safety standards.
What should I look for in a red light therapy device?
When selecting a red light therapy device, consider the following factors:
- Wavelength: Look for devices that emit red light in the range of 600-700 nm and near-infrared light in the range of 800-900 nm, as these wavelengths are most effective for therapeutic purposes.
- Power density: Ensure the device has an appropriate power output (measured in mW/cm²) to deliver sufficient energy to the target tissues.
- Size and coverage: Choose a device that covers the desired treatment area adequately.
- Safety features: Opt for devices with built-in safety features, such as timers and eye protection, to ensure safe and effective use.
Are there any side effects of red light therapy?
Red light therapy is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. Some individuals may experience temporary redness, warmth, or mild discomfort in the treated area. These effects are usually short-lived and resolve quickly. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult with a healthcare provider.
How does red light therapy compare to other light-based treatments?
Red light therapy is distinct from other light-based treatments, such as laser therapy and intense pulsed light (IPL). While all these treatments use light energy to achieve therapeutic effects, they differ in their mechanisms of action, wavelengths, and intended outcomes. RLT is non-invasive and generally gentler on the skin, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Can red light therapy help with weight loss?
There is limited evidence to suggest that red light therapy can directly promote weight loss. However, it may indirectly support weight management by enhancing overall wellness, reducing inflammation, and improving energy levels. It is important to combine RLT with a healthy diet and regular exercise for effective weight management.
Is red light therapy covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for red light therapy varies depending on the provider and the specific condition being treated. In some cases, RLT may be covered if it is deemed medically necessary and prescribed by a healthcare provider. It is advisable to check with your insurance company to determine coverage and reimbursement options.
Can children use red light therapy?
Red light therapy can be safe for children when used appropriately and under the supervision of a healthcare provider. However, it is essential to consult with a pediatrician before starting RLT for a child to ensure it is suitable for their specific needs and conditions.
What research supports the use of red light therapy?
Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of red light therapy for various applications, including skin health, pain relief, and wound healing. Research continues to explore new potential benefits and mechanisms of action, further validating the therapeutic value of RLT. Some key studies include:
- A study published in the journal Photomedicine and Laser Surgery found that red light therapy significantly improved skin complexion and collagen density.
- Research in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology showed that RLT reduced pain and inflammation in patients with musculoskeletal conditions.
- A review in the Photonics & Lasers in Medicine highlighted the benefits of red light therapy for wound healing and tissue repair.
