Red Light
What Is Red Light Therapy? A Plain-English Guide
By the Beautano team · Sunbed & red light specialists, Nitshill
Red light therapy is everywhere right now — but what actually is it? Here’s the no-jargon version.
The basics
Red light therapy bathes your skin in thousands of UV-free red-light LEDs. There’s no tanning UV involved at all. It’s a warm, calm, completely relaxing session — many people simply describe it as lying back in a gentle red glow.
What people love it for
Red light is best known cosmetically for leaving skin looking fresher, smoother and more radiant. It’s a lovely thing to build into your routine, on its own or alongside a tan, and it suits sensitive skin because there’s no UV.
What a session is like at Beautano
On the megaSun K11 Air Select — the only one in Glasgow — a red-light session is genuinely spa-like:
- A dedicated, full-body UV-free red-light mode
- Climate-controlled comfort with cooling AirBreeze
- 3D sound and dream-destination ambience
- Around 15 minutes, fully supervised
How often?
There’s no UV, so it’s gentle to enjoy regularly. Many people do a short course over a few weeks — our team will talk you through what suits you.
