Services
UV Tanning
Our advanced UV tanning beds use eco-friendly lamps and energy-saving technology for safe, effective tanning. Smart Tan Certified staff help select appropriate equipment and lotions for your skin type. Regular lamp replacements and UV meter verification ensure consistent results while maintaining skin health through proper hydration protocols.
Spray Tanning
Celebrity-grade spray tanning services use multi-solution systems for natural, streak-free results. Our technicians apply pH-balancing treatments and collagen-boosting formulas that develop within hours. Sessions last under 15 minutes with results lasting 5-10 days when following proper aftercare instructions for optimal longevity.
Red Light Therapy
Non-UV red light treatments stimulate collagen production and cellular repair using 600-700nm wavelengths. This FDA-approved technology improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and enhances muscle recovery. Sessions combine with vibration therapy platforms for comprehensive skin and body rejuvenation benefits.
Infrared Sauna
Full-spectrum infrared saunas penetrate deep into tissues for detoxification and improved circulation. Our pre-heated cabins maintain 60C temperatures for 30-45 minute sessions that promote relaxation and metabolic health. Low-EMF technology ensures safe, comfortable heat exposure for regular wellness maintenance.
Oxygen Therapy
High-concentration oxygen sessions enhance energy levels and cognitive function through aromatherapy-infused nasal cannulas. Clients choose from four essential oil blends while pulse oximeter monitoring ensures optimal oxygen saturation. Treatments range from 15-minute refreshers to 60-minute wellness sessions for personalized rejuvenation.

I use the Infrared sauna at the Yaletown location on a weekly basis. I have seen some great health and wellness results from using it. The staff are friendly and helpful at this location. The price is fair considering the convenient location.
