best of both worlds

How it works

  1. Step into the light

    Choose your session time and settle into a clean, comfortable space.

2. Hybrid Light Does the Work

As the bed turns on, UV light triggers melanin production, while red wavelengths interact with the skin’s surface layers, enhancing brightness and smoother color development.

3. A Quick Glow, Then You’re On Your Way

Once you step out, your skin continues processing the UV exposure. Melanin activation ramps up over the next several hours, gradually deepening your color.
