But in today\u2019s wellness-driven market, something much bigger is happening. More clients are seeking out red light therapy not just to look better, but to feel better. Across the industry, salon owners are discovering that interest in red light therapy is being driven as much by comfort, mobility, and relaxation as it is by beauty. And that shift explains why SmartSun Therapy SST28 has become one of the most valuable additions to modern tanning and wellness businesses. Why \u201cFeeling Good\u201d Is Today\u2019s Most Powerful Beauty Trend The wellness movement has changed what customers want from their self-care routines. Looking good still matters, but living comfortably, moving more easily, and unwinding from daily stress have become just as important. This is where red light therapy steps forward. The SmartSun Therapy SST28 is a full-body Red Light Therapy device that combines targeted Red Light and Near Infrared Light in a relaxing session. Unlike partial-coverage devices or panel-based solutions, SmartSun Therapy is designed to treat the body as a complete system\u2014not just individual areas. The result is a service that aligns perfectly with the way today\u2019s customers view wellness: as a full-body, whole-life experience. The New Priority: Comfort, Ease, and Everyday Relief While customers still love cosmetic benefits, they are increasingly looking for services that help them feel more comfortable in their day-to-day lives. The SST28 delivers exactly that by offering: Temporary alleviation of mild muscle and joint discomfort and stiffness Temporary alleviation of minor arthritis discomfort or muscle spasms Temporary enhancement of local blood circulation Temporary muscle relaxation These benefits resonate strongly with a wide range of customers\u2014anyone who works long hours on their feet, spends their day at a desk, exercises regularly, or simply wants to feel more at ease in their body. And because these results are temporary, clients naturally understand the value of consistency, making SmartSun Therapy an ideal foundation for memberships and repeat visits. Why the SST28 Leads the Category Customers can feel the difference the moment they lie inside an SST28 session. SmartSun Therapy incorporates the most effective combination of therapy lighting for full-body use, with powerful Red and Near Infrared LEDs placed in an optimized configuration and at the ideal distance from the skin. That close, precise design helps deliver a deeply relaxing experience that customers describe as warm, soothing, and restorative. Where smaller or less targeted devices only address limited areas, the SST28 treats the entire body in a comfortable, zero-gravity environment. Clients step out feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready to take on their day. From Beauty Clients to Wellness Regulars The rise in red light therapy\u2019s comfort-focused usage is also reshaping how salons build relationships with customers. Someone may first try SmartSun Therapy out of curiosity or as an add-on to tanning, but they stay because of how they feel afterward. The temporary relief, relaxation, and sense of ease become part of their routine. Over time, many customers begin visiting the salon specifically for the calming experience of red light sessions rather than cosmetic goals alone. This shift transforms red light therapy from a \u201cnice extra\u201d into a core part of the customer\u2019s wellness lifestyle, and a major driver of repeat business. &nbsp;","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/pain-relief-is-the-new-anti-aging\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/pain-relief-is-the-new-anti-aging\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/pain-relief-is-the-new-anti-aging\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/138A6812.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/138A6812.jpg","width":1360,"height":1180},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/pain-relief-is-the-new-anti-aging\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Pain Relief Is the New Anti-Aging: Why Red Light Therapy\u2019s Strongest Effect Isn\u2019t Cosmetic"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/","name":"Smart Tan News","description":"","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#organization","name":"Smart Tan","url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Smart-Tan.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Smart-Tan.png","width":500,"height":164,"caption":"Smart Tan"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SmartTan","https:\/\/x.com\/SmartTan"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#\/schema\/person\/722dc7049af55e0ed743d67ce9ed4819","name":"smarttannews","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c0189f76465f47ce293287354f8076bfdb83130e65538eb34fcd2cd44e9f0e53?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c0189f76465f47ce293287354f8076bfdb83130e65538eb34fcd2cd44e9f0e53?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c0189f76465f47ce293287354f8076bfdb83130e65538eb34fcd2cd44e9f0e53?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"smarttannews"},"url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/author\/smarttannews\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28035"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28035\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28036,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28035\/revisions\/28036"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
