New Member – On the Edge Spa

On The Edge is a tanning and red light therapy spa operated by Sue and Kent Fladeboe. After a short retirement we were looking for something new to do in Walker. Having an interest in red light therapy for wellness we started looking for places to go in our area. The only option we found was in Brainerd, so we started looking into the possibility of opening our own spa. First we needed to learn more about more about red light therapy, It’s applications and the equipment available. It was decided that we needed full body therapy as well as targeted therapy. Knowing this we decided on three pieces of equipment, a full red light bed, a portable Poly-Pro Rejuv red light machine, and a Cocoon Deluxe Fitness Pod that incorporates red light.

Red light therapy takes advantage of a phenomenon called photobimodulation, which is how different components of our cells are activated or responded to different wavelengths of light.

To further explain the effectiveness it’s helpful to compare how red light therapy works versus traditional skin devices such as lasers. Lasers cause controlled damage to the skin to trigger an inflammatory reaction to promote wrinkle reduction and reduced redness. Conversely, red light therapies don’t cause trauma to the skin, meaning positive effects are seen without the discomfort, healing time and reactive swelling of traditional lasers. Red light Therapy on the other hand can penetrate the skin 6mm, or just over 1/4 inch and doesn’t have to cause damage in order to boost cell activity.

The many benefits of red light therapy include potential weight loss, acceleration of sports recovery, promotion of brain health, improvements to skin and hair including damage to the skin from acne, and scarring.
