You’ve probably seen “red light therapy tanning beds” trending in beauty and wellness circles. But what exactly are they—and are they right for you? At Tan By The Sea, we believe that a beautiful glow starts with informed choices. Let’s explore what red light therapy is, how it works, and what you should know before booking a session.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT) uses low-level wavelengths of red light to promote cellular rejuvenation, improve collagen production, and enhance skin tone. Unlike traditional UV tanning, RLT doesn’t darken your skin—it nourishes it.
Many tanning salons, including ours, now combine red light therapy with UV exposure for a balanced session that supports both a natural tan and skin rejuvenation.

Red Light vs. Traditional Tanning Beds
Traditional tanning beds rely on UVA and UVB rays to stimulate melanin production. Red light, however, penetrates the skin differently—it encourages healing and elasticity rather than pigment change.
That’s why red light therapy is ideal for clients who want to:
Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Calm redness or inflammation
Improve overall skin tone and texture

Is It Safe?
Red light therapy itself is non-invasive and generally safe, but hybrid sessions that include UV still require precautions. Always wear eye protection, follow session time limits, and keep your skin hydrated afterward.
Discover why professional tanning salons offer the safest, most controlled environment in Why Professional Tanning Is the Safer and Smarter Choice for a Healthy Glow.
Red light therapy tanning beds can help your skin look healthier and feel smoother—but understanding how they differ from UV tanning ensures you get the results you expect.
