Service-Specific FAQs
Contrast therapy alternates between hot and cold treatments—like infrared saunas and cold plunges—to boost circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and accelerate recovery. It helps the body adapt to temperature shifts, reducing inflammation and improving energy levels.
Salt therapy, or halotherapy, immerses you in a salt-infused environment to promote respiratory health, improve skin clarity, and reduce stress. It’s a natural, relaxing way to support your overall well-being.
Cold plunge therapy uses icy water immersion to reduce inflammation, ease sore muscles, and boost circulation. It’s especially popular among athletes and those looking to speed up muscle recovery between workouts.
Infrared heat penetrates deep into muscles and joints, promoting detoxification, relaxation, and pain relief. Our 50-minute sessions leave you feeling recharged and refreshed.
Cupping therapy uses suction cups on the skin to increase blood flow, release muscle tension. The process may leave temporary marks, but decreases inflammation and provides long-term pain relief.
Stay hydrated and eat a light snack beforehand for optimal comfort. Wear loose clothing, especially if combining multiple therapies.
Mild soreness, fatigue, or skin redness can occur, especially after cold plunges or cupping. These effects are temporary and indicate your body is responding to the treatment.
Switching between heat and cold—known as contrast therapy—triggers a strong recovery response. Heat relaxes muscles and improves circulation, while cold reduces inflammation and prevents soreness. Together, they flush toxins, deliver oxygen-rich blood to muscles, and speed up healing.

Red light therapy is safe for all skin types and does not cause burns or UV damage. Different wavelengths target specific skin concerns:
- Red Light (630-660nm): Penetrates deep into the skin to boost collagen production, accelerate healing, and reduce inflammation—ideal for muscle recovery and anti-aging.
- Green Light (520-530nm): Helps with hyperpigmentation by breaking down excess melanin, evening out skin tone, and reducing redness.
- Blue Light (400-470nm): Targets acne by killing bacteria and reducing oil production, making it effective for clearer skin.
These wavelengths work individually or in combination to support skin health, recovery, and overall wellness.
