Sunlight Therapy

A sensory relaxation spa treatment replicates the benefits of sunlight without the harmful rays. The treatment cycles from sunrise to sunset in 30min, emitting low levels of UV to release vitamin D.

The treatment is deeply relaxing, uplifting, and can help alleviate Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), anxiety and stress, while stimulating metabolism.

How often should I have Sun Light Therapy treatment?

The frequency of treatment can vary based on individual needs and preferences:

  • Seasonal use: especially during the fall and winter months when natural sunlight exposure is limited. In this case weekly may be beneficial.

  • Maintenance: If you are using SM for overall well-being, consider monthly sessions to maintain Vit D levels and boost mood.

  • Specific Conditions: If you are addressing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or other health conditions your healthcare professional can recommend a personalized schedule.

What are the benefits of Vitamin D?

Vitamin D, also know as the “sunshine vitamin,” plays several crucial roles in our health

  • Bone health

  • Immune system support

  •  Muscle strength

  • Metabolism and weight management

How does a Color Box Sunlight Therapy treatment compare to natural sunlight
exposure?

UV Levels: Color Box Sunlight Therapy emits controlled, low levels of UV radiation, whereas natural sunlight contains varying intensities of UV rays (including both UVA and UVB)


Time and Intensity: Color Box sessions are brief (approximately 30min), mimicking a full day’s sunlight cycle. Natural sunlight exposure depends on factors like time of day, location and skin type.

​

Vitamin D: Both provide Vitamin D, but natural sunlight allows the skin to synthesize it directly. Color Box offers a more controlled approach.


Risk: natural sunlight can cause sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer if over exposed. Sunlight Therapy at Color Box minimizes these risks.


Setting: Light Therapy at Color Box recreates a deeply relaxing environment, while natural sunlight varies based on outdoor conditions

Can I have Sunlight Therapy and a service?

Yes, you can upgrade your scheduled treatment and have sunlight therapy before or after any service at Color Box.
Our recommendation, for the ultimate relaxed hour of any day of the week, would be to combine the experience of a dry floatation treatment before your sunlight treatment.
