Services
Spray Tan
Achieve a flawless, sun-kissed glow with our VersaSpa Spray Tan. This UV-free treatment uses eco-certified DHA and Erythrulose to create natural-looking color that develops over 4-6 hours. Voice-guided sessions take less than 10 minutes, with options for instant cosmetic bronzing or gradual development. Our technicians help customize intensity levels and provide aftercare guidance to prolong results.
Red Light Body Therapy
Rejuvenate your skin with Anti-Aging Red Light Body Therapy. This non-invasive treatment uses specific wavelengths to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. Sessions last 10-15 minutes and can be combined with tanning services. Regular treatments (3-4 times weekly) may enhance cellular repair and overall skin health when paired with proper skincare routines.
Sunbed Tan
Experience sunbed tanning with three intensity levels: Bronzing, Building, and Maintenance. Our modern equipment delivers controlled UV exposure for gradual, even tanning. Sessions typically last 8-12 minutes depending on skin type and desired results. Certified staff provide safety guidance and recommend optimal schedules for achieving and maintaining your golden glow.
LED Teeth Whitening
Illuminate your smile with LED Teeth Whitening treatments. This non-invasive procedure uses blue LED light to activate whitening agents, effectively removing surface stains. Sessions take approximately 20 minutes, with visible results after a single visit. Maintenance recommendations help preserve brightness between professional treatments for lasting confidence.
Infrared Sauna Pod
Embrace wellness with our Infrared Sauna Pod experience. This full-body treatment uses infrared heat to promote relaxation and detoxification through sweat. Sessions typically last 30-45 minutes at personalized temperature settings. The private, pod-shaped design provides a calming environment for stress relief while supporting circulation and muscle recovery.

Questions
How often should I use Red Light Therapy?
Use Red Light Therapy 3-4 times weekly for 12 weeks, then reduce to 1-2 times weekly for maintenance to maximize skin rejuvenation benefits.

What's the difference between spray tan levels?
Spray tan intensity levels (1-4) determine solution concentration for customized color depth, with higher levels producing darker results based on your skin tone.
How long do spray tans last?
Spray tans typically last 5-7 days with proper preparation and aftercare, including moisturizing and avoiding excessive water exposure.
Are there age restrictions for tanning services?
