Red Light Therapy offers many benefits. During the treatment, skin is exposed to non-invasive red and near-infrared light waves, which is scientifically proven to stimulate cellular function, enhance circulation, and reduce inflammation. This can boost muscle recovery, improve skin health, aid in pain relief, and more. It’s also been shown to promote relaxation and a calmer state of mind. Read our blog on the benefits of Red Light Therapy to learn more.

The more skin you expose to the infrared light the better. The treatment room is private and solely yours for 20 minutes, so choose what makes you most comfortable. Wear underwear, togs, or nothing at all.

There has been no research to say Red Light Therapy is safe for pregnant women, so we would not recommend it. Also people with cardiac pacemakers, and patients with malignant tumours*. People who take photosensitises and those with an active haemorrhage or acute organ damage. *this is precautionary. There is research surfacing around the benefits of red light therapy in the management of cancer and side effects from treatment, until this is more conclusive we are not recommending it. If in doubt please check with your trusted medical professional.

For best results we recommend aiming for 2-3 times a week to start. After a period of 3-6 months you could change to a weekly maintenance session. Listen to your body, it will let you know what it needs.

Red Light Therapy doesn't create vitamin D, natural sunlight does this, but it can help support overall health and wellness. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, skin conditions, or sleep issues, red light therapy may be a beneficial treatment option to consider.

One of the great benefits of this therapy is that once finished you just carry on with your day as normal. Water is essential for the cellular process from the therapy, so hydrate with quality water afterwards. There is filtered water in the studio for you to drink.

Red Light is 630nm and 660nm Near Infrared is 810nm, 830nm and 850nm

The Red Light can not penetrate through SPF, and for optimal results we recommend removing make-up. There are face wipes outside the Red Light Therapy rooms for you to use.

If you’ve ever felt your muscles loosen in a sauna, or experienced the full-body rejuvenation of plunging into the sea, you know how good they are for your body and mind. In Contrast Therapy, you get to experience both. First, there’s the penetrating warmth of infrared saunas, scientifically proven to help with muscle recovery and relaxation. Then, the invigorating ice bath - commonly used by professional athletes - will constrict then dilate your blood vessels rapidly, enhancing blood flow and reducing inflammation. The contrast of both offers those benefits, while the shock of hot to cold awakens your senses and leaves you completely revitalised.

We recommend to limit ice bath sessions to an absolute maximum of 15 minutes to avoid risks like hypothermia. 3 to 5 minutes is enough to get the amazing benefits. Always listen to your body and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns.

This will depend on what you are trying to achieve in the sauna - pain relief, 45 - 55 degrees for 30 - 45 minutes - weight management, 55 - 60 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes - detox, 45 - 55 degrees for 30 - 45 minutes - pre workout, 45 degrees for 20 minutes - post workout, 45 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes

Take your time getting out of the ice bath to avoid any slipping or light headedness. Gradually warm up your body in our shower. Stay hydrated and pay attention to how your body feels.

If you have a cardiovascular problem or pregnant you should seek medical advice beforehand.

It has a built in filtration and sanitisation system. The water and filter are changed weekly. It is also stipulated that everyone shower after getting out of the Infrared Sauna and before getting into the Ice Bath.

No, when you book a Contrast Therapy or Sauna session you get exclusive use of the room and bathroom. You can "Add a Friend" if you wish, for an extra charge.

Nothing, unless you want to wear togs then bring those. We provide towels, body & face wash, even face serum and moisturiser for afterwards.

Red Light Therapy is non-invasive and you won’t work up a sweat, so there’s no need to have a shower after treatment in the Red Light Panel or Red Light Pod room. These treatments are designed to give you a quick break, then you can pop straight back into your day. With Contrast Therapy, we invite you to take a shower after the sauna before you get into the ice bath. We provide body wash and towels. Some people feel more comfortable having a post-treatment shower, while others are happy to simply dry off after their final ice bath (in a one hour session you can do two rounds).

Absolutely! If you have some extra time and you’d like to experience the ultimate in rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation, book the Contrast Therapy first (with infrared sauna and ice bath) and the Red Light Therapy afterwards. This session will take 1.5 hours.
