Why is the SmartSun Therapy SST28 the most proven and profitable light therapy device the tanning industry has ever seen? The SST28 has numerous advantages, but all that really matters to your customers is results. The bottom line is the SST28 really works, and it works on a different level than any other red light devices used in tanning businesses today.

While you and your clients might be impressed with their results from other red light equipment, it’s important to understand that they’re only getting a small fraction of what truly optimized red light equipment can provide. Any salon owner that operates an SST28 will tell you that SmartSun Therapy offers an entirely different array of results.

In recent issues of Smart Tan Magazine, there have been numerous accounts of astonishing results from tanning business owners and clients. The reports from users that suffer from conditions like chronic pain, fibromyalgia, alopecia, and more aren’t about cosmetic benefits or minor improvements, but real physical benefits that drastically impact their quality of life. Realistically, you’ll never see reports of these types of results from other red light therapy equipment in the tanning industry. Of course, providing cosmetic benefits is also important for tanning businesses, and there’s little question that SmartSun Therapy will also outperform other red devices in that regard due to its superior combination of power, proximity and optimal wavelengths.

Producing the most effective light therapy system requires careful engineering that balances the amount of energy emitted from each diode, the total amount of energy emitted from the device, and the distance between the light source and the body. SmartSun Therapy has been engineered with these factors in mind, making the SST28 the only device on the market today maximizing these efficiencies.

[Sub] LED Quantity

• A total of 28,433 diodes.
• Diode breakdown: 22,870 Red & 5,688 Infrared Lights
• Irradiance: 61 mW/cm2

One of the fundamental factors is the number of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) in the device. The effectiveness of red light therapy is often associated with the density of LEDs per square inch. For example, a red light facial unit may have 3,000 to 4,000 LEDs, while a full-body system should ideally exceed 25,000 LEDs to deliver optimal results. The higher the LED count, the better the coverage and potential benefits.

Wavelengths:

• Range: 635nm & 850nm

Not all red light therapy devices are created equal, and the specific wavelengths emitted play a crucial role in their effectiveness. Scientific research has shown that targeted 635nm red light and 850nm near-infrared light spectrums are the most impactful, promoting increased cellular function and yielding positive results in various applications.

LED Proximity:

• The SST28’s sleek design places the user closer to the light for a more effective treatment with full-body exposure, unlike other devices found on the market.

The distance between the LEDs and the user is a critical consideration. Red and near-infrared light diminish rapidly over distance, and as much as 80% of the light can be lost in just a few inches. Therefore, it is important to choose a device where the LEDs are positioned optimally to ensure consistent and effective light exposure during the therapy session. When you measure the surface of a red-light therapy device it may show a high output measurement. But, when you move the light meter a few inches away, that number will drop substantially. In fact, when you factor in the true measurement of light output that actually reaches the user’s skin, the SST28’s functional output is as much as 10 times higher than other devices. That’s because the other red-light LED full-body devices on the market today utilize an already existing low-level tanning bed or stand-up chassis and simply add red light LEDs to it. Though this makes for a simple and cost-effective unit, it is not an effective design for the nature of red light energy because you simply can’t get the user close enough to the light source.
