If you've been searching for Red Light Therapy in Troy or Shelby Township, Michigan, there's something new happening at BodyBing.
We've spent the last several years expanding BodyBing beyond tanning into a true Sun, Spray & Spa experience, with Red Light Therapy becoming one of our most popular wellness services.
Now we're taking it another step forward.
We've recently invested in professional light-measuring equipment that allows us to measure the actual light energy delivered by our Red Light Therapy LEDs at the distance your body is positioned during a session.
What we learned allowed us to optimize our Red Light Therapy sessions — and introduce an entirely new facial phototherapy experience we're calling AuraLumen Pro.
Red Light Therapy Isn't Just About Having Red LEDs
One of the biggest misconceptions about Red Light Therapy is that simply standing or lying in front of red LEDs means you're receiving an effective light therapy session.
There's more to it than that.
With photobiomodulation (PBM), several factors determine the amount of light energy that actually reaches your skin:
Wavelength of the light
Irradiance or light intensity
Distance between the LEDs and your skin
Length of the treatment
Total light energy delivered, commonly measured in joules per square centimeter (J/cm²)
Distance is particularly important because the amount of light reaching the body changes as you move farther away from the light source.
That's why we've gone beyond simply relying on manufacturer specifications.
We're measuring it ourselves.
Our Red Light Therapy Sessions Are Now 20 Minutes
After measuring the actual output of our Red Light Therapy equipment at real treatment distances, we've increased our maximum Red Light Therapy session from 15 minutes to 20 minutes.
That additional treatment time allows our system to deliver a measured light dose of more than 5 J/cm² during a complete session in the measured treatment area.
Instead of simply asking how many LEDs a machine has or how powerful those LEDs sound on paper, we're interested in something much more important:
How much light is actually reaching you?
Our goal is to provide a thoughtfully designed Red Light Therapy experience using measurable light output, appropriate treatment distance and optimized session time.
Why Do People Use Red Light Therapy?
Red and near-infrared light have become increasingly popular in the wellness, recovery and skincare industries through a process commonly known as photobiomodulation.
People often seek Red Light Therapy to support:
Healthy-looking skin
Collagen production
Skin rejuvenation
The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Muscle recovery
Circulation
General wellness and relaxation
And because Red Light Therapy is non-UV light, Red Light Therapy does not tan the skin.
At BodyBing, it can be used as its own wellness session or as part of your regular Sun, Spray & Spa routine.
Meet AuraLumen Pro: Facial Phototherapy Comes to the Cocoon

We're also introducing something completely new.
AuraLumen Pro is BodyBing's new multi-wavelength facial phototherapy experience, available with our Cocoon Wellness Pods.
While you're relaxing during your 20-minute Cocoon session, AuraLumen Pro can be positioned directly above the face.
That close treatment distance is intentional.
Based on our measurements, a full 20-minute AuraLumen Pro session can deliver more than 5 J/cm² of light energy at the measured treatment distance.
But AuraLumen Pro isn't limited to red light.
It gives us three different wavelengths of visible light to work with.
🔴 Red Light — Collagen & Renew
Red light is one of the best-known wavelengths used in LED facial treatments and photobiomodulation.
It's commonly used to support collagen production, skin rejuvenation and healthier-looking skin, making it an excellent option for guests interested in anti-aging skincare and overall complexion.
🔵 Blue Light — Clear & Calm
Blue LED light is commonly used in skincare applications for acne-prone and blemish-prone skin.
AuraLumen Pro gives BodyBing guests another non-UV light option when their skincare goals are focused on achieving a clearer-looking complexion.
🟢 Green Light — Even & Soothe
Green LED light is commonly incorporated into facial light therapy routines intended to support the appearance of a calmer, more balanced and even-looking complexion.
For guests concerned with visible redness or uneven-looking skin tone, green light offers another option within the AuraLumen Pro experience.
(NOTE: This specific wavelength should be completed for only 10 minutes, anything longer will not be effective)
Red Light Therapy + Cocoon Wellness
What makes AuraLumen Pro particularly interesting is that it isn't a completely separate 20-minute appointment.
We've integrated facial phototherapy into our existing Cocoon Wellness experience.
While the Cocoon surrounds the body with warmth and wellness technology, AuraLumen Pro can provide targeted LED phototherapy to the face at the same time.
It's essentially 20 minutes of relaxation with two wellness experiences happening simultaneously.
Why BodyBing Is Measuring Our Light Therapy Equipment
Wellness technology continues to evolve, and so does our understanding of how to use it.
That's why we're no longer satisfied with simply seeing a manufacturer's wattage number or LED count and assuming that tells the whole story.
We now have the ability to measure the light output of our equipment ourselves.
That means we can look at the relationship between light intensity, treatment distance and treatment time and use those measurements to continually improve the experience we provide our guests.
We think that's how modern Red Light Therapy should be approached.
Measure it. Understand it. Optimize it.
