After a handful of sessions in the SmartSun Therapy SST28, an avid bowler scored a perfect game, rolling 12 strikes in a row for a 300 score, and she claims red light was her secret weapon that helped her achieve the milestone.  \u201cIt\u2019s kind of a funny story,\u201d says Forever Summer owner Stacia Gjerde. \u201cShe wanted to try it out, and after five or six sessions, she bowled a perfect game, and she attributes it to that.\u201d  While SmartSun Therapy might not actually make you a better bowler, its impact on muscle and joint discomfort, stiffness, minor arthritis, and muscle spasms certainly couldn\u2019t hurt. And as they say: look good, feel good, play good.  Of course, other Forever Summer customers, and even Stacia herself, are experiencing a range of more realistic results since the Detroit Lakes salon introduced the SST28. Stacia has seen improvement in her own skin and sleep, and many clients are seeking visible cosmetic benefits. But as she continues to educate her community about the full range of red light\u2019s effects, some are noticing deeper changes.  \u201cI\u2019ve noticed better skin texture, some sun spots fading, and I\u2019ve been sleeping better. It just makes you feel better overall. Everyone who tries it loves it. Quite a few people are using it for eczema or psoriasis. People come in wanting that anti-aging boost in collagen,\u201d she says.  \u201cOne older gentleman is using it for neuropathy. By the second session, he said it was so much better, and he could feel the bottoms of his feet again. He was skeptical at first but decided to give it a try and was definitely a believer after that.\u201d  When Stacia started researching red light therapy options last year, the SST28 seemed to check all the boxes: full-body, laydown, LED, medical-grade, FDA Registered, and a unique design. \u201cThere were a couple other options, but the style and design, that it brings the light closer, kept bringing me back to this one,\u201d she says.  Having done her homework, Stacia knew what medical-grade red light could do \u2013 not just for her business, but for her community \u2013 and even though she says nobody else in her area is competing with her in the red light space, she says making the price accessible to everyone was always a priority. Forever Summer currently offers eight sessions for $160, 12 sessions for $220, and a five-session add-on for members for an additional $50 per month. The affordable add-on has resonated well, giving tanners added benefits and relaxation, and even motivating non-members to sign up.  \u201cI wanted it to be accessible for everybody. I wanted it to be affordable because it really does make you feel good, and I want everybody to be able to afford it and make everybody feel good,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s been really popular with the tanners we already have for sure. They get a lot of good benefits, and it helps you tan faster as well. A lot of people just love how relaxing it is. They can come do red light and tan and get a little more of a relaxing \u2018me\u2019 time.\u201d  Forever Summer\u2019s high-traffic location in an outdoor mall has also made appealing to non-tanners easy and cost-effective.  \u201cI\u2019ve got signs outside that I change all the time with the different benefits of red light, so people walking by come in and ask questions. I have brochures I can hand out. I get calls all the time asking about red light. People are either really educated about it or have no idea. It helps that we\u2019ve had customers do reviews with amazing results, and we can post them on social media and show others what it can do,\u201d Stacia says.
