First Unlimited Red Light Therapy Membership session at Ohana Sun Tanning in North Phoenix

One of the reasons people relax quickly at Ohana is simple: our team is honest and pays attention. A client once lost a gold bracelet during a visit, and Ariel found it and returned it safely. If you feel a little nervous walking in for your first Unlimited Red Light Therapy Membership session, that’s normal. The good news is the session itself is straightforward, non-invasive, and low-heat. You’ll be in the red light therapy bed for about 8–20 minutes, and our unlimited membership is built for consistency. In this guide, we’ll cover exactly what to bring, how the session runs in real life, simple safety checks (especially meds that can make you light-sensitive), and what to do after so you feel confident from day one.

What to bring to your 10-minute red light therapy light session

Keep it simple. Most first-timers do best when they show up with a short checklist and let us guide the rest. Our staff gets called out all the time for being friendly and knowledgeable, especially when you’re new and not sure what to do first.

Bring this: water for hydration (Phoenix is dry), a hair tie if you want your neck exposed, and a note or photo list of any medications or topicals you’re using that could be photosensitizing.

  • Clothing: loose, easy-to-adjust pieces, or bring a towel if you want more skin exposure during the red light session.
  • Jewelry: we recommend removing it so nothing gets warm or leaves marks. People do sometimes forget items in rooms, and our team is known for setting things aside and returning them.
  • Face prep: if you’re focusing on facial skin, we generally recommend coming in with minimal makeup so the light reaches your skin more directly.

If you’re pairing your session with tanning beds, sun beds, or a spray tan on the same visit, tell us at check-in. Red Light Therapy (photo bio-modulation) uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and improve skin tone and texture, and it can be paired with sunbeds or spray tan services for glowing results.

Your first Unlimited Red Light Therapy Membership visit, step by step (and what it feels like)

We’re in North Phoenix near Union Hills Drive and 32nd Street, right on the edge of Paradise Valley Village, so a lot of people treat red light like a quick stop-in. The session is short, but we never rush you through the first one.

1) Quick check-in and a real conversation

When you arrive, we’ll ask what you’re using red light for. Some members come in a few times a week and talk about noticing less inflammation. Others come in because the bed is relaxing and they like how they feel leaving. If you’re managing back or joint discomfort, we want to hear that too, because consistency matters and we’ll help you build a schedule you can actually stick to.

2) Getting set up in the red light therapy bed

You’ll lay in the bed like you would in a tanning bed. A client described it as getting a “blast of warm red light rays” for about 12 minutes. That’s a pretty accurate way to put it. It’s not a painful heat. It’s usually a gentle warmth and a calm, quiet break in your day.

Eye protection matters: we’ll give you the proper eyewear and we want you to use it every time, even if you’re only in for 10 minutes.

3) The session itself (8–20 minutes)

Most Unlimited Red Light Therapy Membership sessions land in that 8–20 minute range. Our membership session is often scheduled as a 10-minute visit, which is great if you’re squeezing it in before work or after a hike. You won’t have downtime after. You can go right back to your day.

If you’re wondering, “Do red light therapy lights work?” our honest answer is that results depend on consistency and what you’re using it for. Many people notice immediate relaxation. Changes in skin tone, texture, and the look of fine lines tend to be a 4–8 week conversation when you’re coming regularly. One member even mentioned seeing a small difference in fine lines and past acne scarring after staying consistent.

“Lay in it like any other bed. Get a blast of warm red light rays for about 12 min.”

After your first session: hydration, sunscreen, and a realistic 30-day rhythm

Most people feel relaxed right away, and a lot of members tell us they “feel great leaving.” That’s normal. If you ever feel a little “weird” after red light therapy, it’s usually not dramatic. It can be as simple as being extra relaxed, a little warm, or noticing you didn’t drink enough water. In Phoenix’s dry heat, hydration fixes a lot.

  • Drink water: especially if you’re stacking sessions around golf, hiking, or outdoor time.
  • Use sunscreen outdoors: red light therapy is not a tanning service, but Phoenix sun is still Phoenix sun.
  • Keep your routine consistent: unlimited works best when it’s a habit, not a once-in-a-while thing.

A simple 30-day beginner schedule: Week 1: 3 sessions. Week 2: 4 sessions. Weeks 3–4: 4–6 sessions/week if you’re feeling good. Some members come daily, and we’ll help you find a pace that feels sustainable.

Membership details we like to clarify upfront in North Phoenix

Unlimited is $65, and it’s designed for people who want to come in consistently without doing math every time. Because sessions are short, you can often fit them in early morning or evening. If you’re coming through the Deer Valley area near Union Hills and 32nd Street, it’s a quick stop that doesn’t take over your day.

Before your first visit, ask us about peak times, how far out we book, and our cancellation policy so you’re not guessing. And if you’re planning a big outdoor weekend, let us know. We’ll talk through session timing and aftercare so you can keep your routine steady without feeling like you’re stacking everything on one day. For anyone dealing with sun damage concerns, we also put together sun damage and red light therapy information that’s easy to follow.

A few insider tips that make first visits feel easy

Here’s the part people don’t always realize until they’ve been around a while. The best results usually come from small, steady visits. Members who feel the biggest shift tend to be the ones who treat it like brushing their teeth, not a once-a-month reset.

And comfort matters. People come back to us for years because they feel welcomed walking through the doors. We also keep the facility clean, and that’s not negotiable for our team. If you’re brand new, tell us you’re new. We’ll walk you through it and answer the “is this normal?” questions as they come up.

Ready for your first session? Come in with water, wear something easy, and bring your medication list if you have one. We’ll handle the rest and help you set a realistic schedule that fits your Phoenix week.
