A 15-minute wellness ritual in Houston’s Garden Oaks and Oak Forest community
When you think of GloGirl, you probably think of a beautiful, sunless glow. For more than two decades, spray tanning has been our specialty. But we’ve always believed that great service is about how you feel when you leave, too. That belief led us to add red light therapy to our Houston spray tan boutique.
At first, the connection seemed obvious: skin. We wanted to give our clients another way to care for the skin beneath their spray tan. Our commercial-grade MitoPRO Commercial X panel from Mito Red Light delivers a full-body treatment combining visible red light with near-infrared light. It uses six wavelengths: 590, 630, and 660 nanometers (nm) of visible light, plus 810, 830, and 850 nm of near-infrared light. (A nanometer is simply a unit used to measure the wavelength of light.) The panel uses medical-grade LED drivers and is UL/ETL certified for electrical safety. Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, is being studied for skin appearance and other potential uses. Research suggests it may support collagen production and improve some visible signs of skin aging. It uses no UV light, so it won’t give you a tan or replace your sunless tanning appointment.
What surprised us was how many clients came in with goals that went beyond their skin.
More Than a Glow
Some clients ask about red light because they’re focused on workout recovery. Others are looking for a quiet reset, a more consistent self-care routine, or support for better sleep. We’ve also heard questions about inflammation, seasonal mood changes, and hormones. We love that people are curious about their well-being, and we’re honest about what we know: the research varies by goal, device, and treatment schedule.
That’s why we focus on an experience we can deliver beautifully: 15 minutes to pause, recharge, and make time for yourself. For our skin-savvy clients, it’s one more way to think beyond the color of a tan and care for the person wearing it.
What a Session at GloGirl Feels Like
Our red light room is designed to make those 15 minutes count. Our panel offers full-body exposure to red and near-infrared light. Settle into the massage chair with a fresh towel infused with organic essential oils, or stand in front of the panel if you prefer. We play Solfeggio frequency music to create a calming atmosphere and include a Tesla BioHealing devise as a room feature. The music and devise are part of the experience!
We also carry skin care products with ingredients such as peptides and hyaluronic acid for clients who want to build out their routine. Our team can help you choose products for your skin, while the light session itself stays simple and easy to fit into a busy day.
How Often Should You Come In?
We generally suggest starting with one or two 15-minute visits a week. Many of our regular clients tell us they notice a difference in how they feel or how their skin looks after around eight sessions. That’s their experience, not a guaranteed timeline; results depend on the person and the goal.
To make consistency easier, GloGirl offers red light therapy packages and unlimited-use memberships. You can make it a stand-alone wellness appointment or pair it with your regular GloGirl routine.
Why It Belongs in a Sunless Tanning Boutique
Adding red light therapy was an investment in what our clients were already asking for: more ways to feel good in their skin. With thoughtful local marketing, the initial equipment investment paid for itself within two months of our launch. The automated sessions also fit naturally into our boutique: our team prepares the room, refreshes towels, and welcomes each client without the hands-on time a custom spray tan requires.
To us, the next generation of sunless tanning is more than a cosmetic appointment. It’s a thoughtful mix of expert spray tanning, skin care, and wellness services that fit real life. Whether you visit us from Garden Oaks, Oak Forest, the Heights, Memorial, or elsewhere in Houston, there’s room in your routine for a little more glow.
