5 Benefits of Cryotherapy

Jacob Lasky on June 11, 2025

Whether you’re feeling sore, run-down, or just need a refresh, it may be time to chill out with cryotherapy.

Also known as cold therapy, cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that exposes your body to ultra-low temperatures to kickstart powerful natural responses. You can sort of think of it as a reset button for your body — refreshing everything from your muscles to your skin, to your mood.

Let’s break down five science-backed reasons why this increasingly popular treatment can help you feel and look better!

1. Relieve Chronic Pain

For anyone dealing with recurring aches or inflammation, cryotherapy might just be your new go-to treatment. Because the cold constricts blood vessels and numbs nerve endings, cryotherapy can reduce swelling and dull pain almost instantly.

Whether you’re managing joint pain, recovering from a workout, or dealing with chronic conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia, cryotherapy can provide noticeable relief in just a few minutes.

And because it works with your body’s natural healing response, it’s a safe and fast option for staying active and pain-free.

2. Recover Like an Athlete

If you’ve ever seen a pro athlete hop into an ice bath after a game, this is the upgraded version. In fact, a recent report from the Global Wellness Institute found that about 60 percent of professional athletes utilized cryotherapy for recovery and injury prevention.

Cryotherapy helps reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and supports faster recovery by improving circulation and reducing lactic acid buildup.

It’s a favorite for gym rats, weekend warriors, and anyone who wants to keep moving without feeling sore the next day. A few minutes of cold now means fewer skipped workouts later.

3. Boost Your Metabolism and Circulation

Your body naturally works hard to stay warm during a cryo session, and that effort can pay off. Cold exposure causes blood vessels to constrict and then quickly expand once the session ends, increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body.

This process helps improve circulation and may also support your metabolism. Notably, some users report feeling more energized and focused for hours after a session — no energy drinks or coffee required.

4. Refresh Your Skin

The benefits of cryotherapy go skin deep, too. Cryotherapy can help stimulate collagen production, reduce redness and puffiness, and improve overall skin tone and texture.

It’s often used by people looking to improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines, but it can also help with skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

The result? Smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin — naturally.

5. Boost Your Mood and Mental Wellness

Cryotherapy doesn’t just work your body — it works your mind. The intense cold can trigger the release of feel-good hormones like endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin.

That means many people walk out of the chamber feeling more energized, less stressed, and even happier. Some clients even report better sleep and improved mental clarity after regular sessions.

UV Tanning vs. Spray Tanning

Jacob Lasky on April 2, 2025

With the spring upon us, now is the perfect time to make your skin glow with the season.

Whether you’re planning a visit to a day club, a rooftop brunch, or just want to shake off that pale winter coat, now’s the time to choose your perfect tan: Ultraviolet (UV) or spray?

Let’s break down the perks of both these methods so you can step into the season with radiating confidence.

What to Know About UV Tanning

For those craving that sun-kissed look that builds naturally over time, UV tanning might be your best bet.

UV tanning beds emit controlled ultraviolet light that stimulates melanin production—similar to the sun, but more precise. You tan gradually across multiple sessions, and your results can last for weeks with proper care.

UV tanning works best with a few sessions to build up color. And as with most things in life, moderation is key.

What to Know About Spray Tanning

Need a tan by tomorrow? Need bronze skin without any UV? Say hello to your sunless soulmate—spray tanning. Spray tanning is a great alternative for delivering flawless, even color that looks natural on all skin tones—and it only takes a few minutes.

Essentially, spray tan liquid reacts with proteins in your skin to create a radiant glow. It develops in a few hours, reaches full color within 24 hours and fades naturally over 5–7 days.

Keep in mind, you’ll want to exfoliate, shave, and skip lotions or perfumes before your appointment. And after your session, you’ll want to avoid water, tight clothing, and anything sweat-inducing for around 6–8 hours to lock in that glow.

Which Look is Right for You?

The truth is, you don’t have to choose just one. Many of our guests mix and match based on their plans, timing, or skin goals — and our team is always here to help you pick what’s best for your desired look.

Whether your preference is UV or spray tanning, our state-of-the-art equipment and professional staff are here to help you find the right tan this spring (and year-round)!

5 Red Light Therapy Health Benefits

Jacob Lasky on March 14, 2025

Red light therapy is the glowing superstar everyone in the health and wellness world is talking about — literally.

Also known as LED light therapy, red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular function.

Think of it as a recharge station for your body that can help with everything from refreshing your skin to enhancing your immune system and pain management.

Let’s break down five science-backed reasons why this increasingly popular treatment can make you feel and look better!

1. Make Your Skin Glow

For skin that radiates confidence, red light therapy might just be your new skincare MVP. According to a study featuring 90 patients who received eight LED red-light treatments to their face over four weeks, over 90 percent of participants noticed improvement, including softer and smoother skin, less redness, and lightening of dark spots.

By stimulating collagen production and repairing cellular damage, this treatment reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. It also speeds up healing for acne and blemishes, fades scars and stretch marks, and even decreases the visibility of conditions like psoriasis. And the best part? It leaves your skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and glowing.

2. Relieve Chronic Pain

You may find some extra relief from red light therapy if you’re suffering from chronic pain and inflammation. This treatment doesn’t just work on the surface—it gets to the root of the problem by diving deep into your tissues to promote natural anti-inflammatory responses.

Whether you’re dealing with nagging back pain, post-workout soreness, or just the aches of adulthood catching up to you, red light therapy helps speed up recovery—so you can get back to moving freely without relying on medication or invasive procedures

3. Boost Your Energy

If you’re running on energy drinks and pure determination, red light therapy might be the extra boost you’ve been searching for.

By improving blood flow and oxygenation at the cellular level, this treatment boosts adenosine triphosphate (ATP), your body’s natural energy source. The result? You feel refreshed and alert. So, instead of reaching for that third energy drink, consider a therapy session that actually powers your cells.

4. Improve Your Sleep

Whether stress or a restless mind has you counting sheep, red light therapy can help reset your internal clock. By stimulating melatonin production and regulating circadian rhythms, this treatment promotes deeper, more restorative sleep.

Imagine waking up feeling actually refreshed—not just running on snooze-button optimism.

5. Strengthen Your Immune System

Your immune system works hard to keep you healthy, and red light therapy gives it the support it needs. When it comes to staying strong and resilient, a little extra help goes a long way.

By increasing white blood cell production and reducing inflammation, this treatment helps your body fend off viruses and infections more effectively.

Experience Rio Tan’s Advanced Approach

Ready to see what all the buzz is about? Rio Tan offers red light therapy like no one else, thanks to Spectrum 7—the world’s most advanced light therapy system.
