Looking for a summer glow that supports more than your tan? Drift Spa is offering a limited-time summer package that includes unlimited red light therapy and unlimited hybrid tanning for only $99 per month during June, July, and August.
This package gives guests access to two light-based spa services:
Red light therapy is a non-tanning LED light therapy experience focused on skin appearance, relaxation, recovery support, and overall wellness.
Hybrid tanning combines UV tanning and red light technology in one session for guests who want to build or maintain a tan while also experiencing red light during the session.
Because both services use red light technology, it can be easy to think they are the same thing. They are related, but they are different experiences. The biggest difference is simple:
Red light therapy does not tan the skin. Hybrid tanning does.
Here is what to know before choosing your next session.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy is a full-body LED light therapy experience that does not use UV tanning light. At Drift Spa, the red light therapy bed is designed for guests who want a non-tanning wellness service that can fit into a skin care, recovery, or relaxation routine.
Guests often choose red light therapy to support:
- Skin glow and radiance
- A smoother, refreshed-looking complexion
- Collagen-focused skin care
- Post-workout recovery routines
- Relaxation and self-care
- General wellness support
Red light therapy is popular because it is simple, non-invasive, and does not require downtime. It is not a medical treatment, and results can vary, but many guests enjoy adding it to their regular wellness routine.
What Makes Drift Spa’s Red Light Therapy Bed Different?
Drift Spa’s red light therapy bed offers full-body LED light therapy in a short session, making it easy to add to a spa visit or wellness routine.
The bed includes preset light therapy modes designed around different guest goals:
Restore
A red and infrared light mode commonly used for recovery-focused sessions, collagen-focused skin care, inflammation-related wellness, and the appearance of aging skin.
Pulse
A pulsed version of Restore that is often used by guests interested in deeper recovery support, including athletes and active individuals.
Calm
A green and infrared light mode designed for a more relaxing light therapy experience.
Cleanse
A red and blue light mode focused on supporting clearer, refreshed-looking skin.
These settings allow guests to choose a session based on what they want to focus on that day, whether that is glow, recovery, relaxation, or skin appearance.
Does Red Light Therapy Tan Your Skin?
No. Red light therapy does not tan your skin.
This is one of the most important differences between red light therapy and hybrid tanning. Red light therapy uses LED light therapy without UV tanning light. Guests who want the benefits of a light-based wellness service without tanning should choose the dedicated red light therapy bed.
What Is Hybrid Tanning?
Hybrid tanning is different from red light therapy alone because it includes UV tanning light.
A hybrid tanning bed combines UV tanning and red light technology in one session. The UV light supports the tanning process, while the red light is included to support the appearance and feel of the skin during the same session.
This is the option for guests who want to build or maintain a tan while also experiencing red light technology.
Hybrid tanning may be a good fit if your goal is to:
- Build a summer tan
- Maintain color between vacations or events
- Pair tanning with red light technology
- Enjoy a glow-focused spa service before a trip, wedding, concert, or seasonal event
Are Red Light Therapy and Hybrid Tanning the Same Bed?
No. This is where the promotion can sound confusing.
The hybrid tanning bed does combine red light technology and tanning in one session. So when you hear “hybrid red light therapy/tanning bed,” that refers to the hybrid tanning experience.
Drift Spa’s summer package also includes access to the dedicated red light therapy bed, which is a separate non-tanning service.
Think of it this way:
Red light therapy bed:
A non-tanning LED light therapy experience focused on skin appearance, recovery support, relaxation, and wellness.
Hybrid tanning bed:
A tanning experience that combines UV tanning and red light technology in one session.
The summer glow package gives you access to both.
Which Option Should You Choose?
Choose red light therapy if you want a non-tanning light therapy session focused on skin glow, relaxation, recovery support, and wellness.
Choose hybrid tanning if you want to build or maintain a tan while also experiencing red light technology during your session.
Choose the summer glow package if you want access to both throughout the month.
That flexibility is what makes the package a great seasonal option. You can use red light therapy as part of your wellness routine and use hybrid tanning when you want a sun-kissed glow.
A Note About Tanning and Skin Safety
Hybrid tanning includes UV light, so guests should follow Drift Spa’s recommended exposure guidelines. The Drift Spa team can help explain session timing and help you choose an option based on your goals, skin type, and tanning experience.
Red light therapy does not tan the skin, but guests should still follow service instructions and ask the Drift Spa team any questions before beginning a new routine.
