Red light therapy at Zoom Tan is a full-body session with 660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared LED panels in a private room, up to 20 minutes. It's included in every Zoom Tan membership and available at most locations, with 24/7 member access at participating salons.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses LEDs that give off specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. It works differently from tanning and won't change your skin tone, so it's an easy add-on to your UV or spray tan.
The light is absorbed by your skin and the tissue just beneath it, where researchers study how it affects the way your cells produce energy. Our full-body panels combine the two wavelengths that come up most in that research.
Red light
Visible red light, absorbed closer to the surface of the skin. The wavelength most associated with skin research.
Near-infrared
Invisible to the eye and reaches deeper than visible red. The wavelength most associated with muscle and recovery research.
Both run together in every session, from head to toe.
What Red Light Is Designed to Do
We chose panels built around 660 nm and 850 nm, the wavelengths most studied in red light research. According to the manufacturer, this equipment is designed to:
Skin & appearance
- Help reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles
- Support firmer, more elastic-looking skin by encouraging natural collagen and elastin
- Help even out the look of skin tone, sun spots and discoloration
- Smooth the look and feel of skin texture
- Support clearer-looking skin and a calmer complexion
- Support your skin's natural renewal process
- Support a healthier-looking scalp and fuller-looking hair
Recovery & body
- Aid muscle recovery and help shorten recovery time between workouts
- Ease post-workout muscle soreness, tightness and tension
- Help ease minor joint and muscle aches, stiffness and pain with regular use
- Support your body through the everyday wear and tear of an active life
- Support circulation in the area under the light
- Help you stay comfortable and moving at any age
Energy & well-being
- Support your cells' natural energy (ATP) production
- Help you feel refreshed and recharged
- Help offset the stiffness of long days at a desk
- Fit a calming wind-down routine at the end of the day
- Give you up to 20 quiet minutes to relax and reset
Red light therapy at Zoom Tan is a wellness and cosmetic service, not a medical treatment. Results vary.
Your First Session
- Check in. At the front desk, or with the Zoom Tan app at a 24/7 salon after hours.
- Get comfortable. Rooms are private. Light works best on exposed skin, so most people wear minimal clothing, like workout wear or a swimsuit.
- Step up to the panels. Stand at the marked spot. The panels are bright, so close your eyes or use protective eyewear.
- Relax. Sessions run up to 20 minutes. If your room has panels on one side, turn halfway through.
- Go about your day. No downtime and nothing to wash off. Tan before or after if you like.
Tip: consistency beats session length. Most people come in a few times a week.

Red Light Therapy Questions
Quick answers about sessions, pricing and what to expect.
Read All FAQsDoes red light therapy tan you?
No. Red light therapy uses red and near-infrared LEDs instead of UV, so it won't change your skin tone. That makes it an easy add-on to your UV or spray tan.
What wavelengths do Zoom Tan's red light panels use?
Our full-body panels use 660 nm red light and 850 nm near-infrared light, two of the most widely studied wavelengths in red light research.
What are the benefits of red light therapy?
According to the manufacturer of Zoom Tan's panels, the equipment is designed to help reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots and uneven tone, support firmer, clearer-looking skin through natural collagen and elastin, aid muscle recovery and shorten recovery time between workouts, ease post-workout soreness, help ease minor joint and muscle aches, stiffness and pain with regular use, support local circulation and cellular energy, support a healthier-looking scalp and hair, and help you feel refreshed and relaxed. Results vary, and red light at Zoom Tan is a wellness and cosmetic service, not a medical treatment.
How long is a red light therapy session?
Sessions run up to 20 minutes. Any 1 and Any 2 members get up to 15 minutes and can add minutes for $1.00 a minute. Any Unlimited members get up to 20 minutes.
How much is red light therapy?
A single red light therapy session is $2.00 per minute, up to 20 minutes. A red light 6-pack is $179 for six sessions of up to 20 minutes each. Red light is also included with every membership: up to 15 minutes with Any 1 and Any 2 (extra minutes $1.00 a minute), and up to 20 minutes with Any Unlimited.
How often should I use red light therapy?
Most people come in a few times a week. Consistency matters more than any single session, and every Zoom Tan membership lets you use red light daily.
What should I wear for red light therapy?
Light works best on exposed skin, so most people wear minimal clothing, like workout wear or a swimsuit. Every red light room is private.
Is red light therapy safe?
Red light therapy is generally considered low risk for healthy adults. The panels are bright, so close your eyes or use protective eyewear. If you are pregnant, have a light-sensitive condition, or take medication that increases light sensitivity, check with your doctor first.
Can I do red light therapy and tan on the same day?
Yes. You can use red light before or after a UV or spray session. The panels give off a little warmth, so if it makes you sweat at all, we recommend doing red light before your spray tan. Any 2 and Any Unlimited include both in the same visit.
Do I need an appointment for red light therapy?
No. Every Zoom Tan is walk-in only, and members can use red light 24/7 with the Zoom Tan app at participating locations.
Which Zoom Tan locations have red light therapy?
Red light therapy is available at most Zoom Tan salons. See red light locations to find one near you.
Build Your Full Routine
Red light doesn't change your skin tone, so it fits right before or after your tan. Any 2 and Any Unlimited include both in the same visit.
