“I’ve been using Advanced Red Light Therapy (A.R.T.) at L.A. TAN/ SORÉ WELLNESS for about a year now, primarily for pain relief, reduction of inflammation, and accelerated healing. In my mid-60s, I’ve faced my share of challenges — arthritis, a spinal fusion, shoulder and knee replacements, and several arm nerve transplants (all but the knee were done in 2025). This modern A.R.T. system is far more advanced than earlier generations of red-light therapy. It combines near-infrared light with low-level red light, creating a synergistic effect that penetrates deeper into the tissues. My surgeons have been amazed at the speed of my recovery and the remarkable appearance of my surgical scars.<br><br>Throughout my recovery, I’ve continued to stay active — hiking, biking, and training regularly. I’ve also experienced measurable improvements in sleep quality, mental clarity, and overall sense of well-being, even after dealing with cognitive challenges from a recent case of spinal meningitis. My workout recovery times have shortened significantly, and I consistently feel more energetic and well balanced. There’s a growing body of empirical research showing that red and near-infrared light stimulate the mitochondria to increase ATP production, which enhances cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and improves blood flow. The SST 28 machine by Smart Sun Therapy, available at L.A. TAN/ SORÉ WELLNESS in Western Springs, is truly state-of-the-art. The device even includes an optional vibration feature, which I highly recommend using, as it further promotes circulation and lymphatic drainage.<br><br>The entire staff there — led by Store Manager Steffanie and Assistant Manager Veronika— are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. As a lifelong athlete familiar with most modern wellness and recovery modalities, I can confidently say that this therapy stands out as one of the most effective and well-researched. Several of my women friends have also reported visible skin benefits, including smoother texture, reduced fine lines, and a healthy glow. While that wasn’t my goal, I’ve received many unsolicited compliments about how much better my skin looks. Pictured are 2 of the L.A. TAN/ SORÉ WELLNESS Western Springs superstars Veronika and Alissa”
