Clearlight® Introduces The First and Only Full Body Red Light Therapy Unit Available Today Using Variable Optics™
June 3, 2024
Industry Innovator Unveils Suite of Devices Delivering Maximum Healing Efficiency and Restorative Power with Minimal Invasiveness
BERKELEY, CA—June 3, 2024—In conjunction with Men’s Health Month and Father’s Day, Clearlight®, the industry leader in infrared saunas and a pioneer in innovative health and wellness solutions, introduced its game-changing Red Light Therapy FULL BODY Tower. With this addition, Clearlight now offers a complete line of FDA-registered units—The FULL BODY Tower, The CORE Tower, and The PERSONAL Tower—to allow people of any age the ability to incorporate red light therapy into their daily lives and unlock their health and well-being potential. The suite of wellness solutions features Clearlight’s exclusive Variable Optics™ and other proprietary healing technologies that are so robust they can even withstand the heat inside the top-rated Clearlight infrared saunas.
The Future of Healing Efficiency: Clearlight’s Variable Optics™
By incorporating the company’s exclusive Variable Optics™ technology, Clearlight has created multiple indices and angles of light generation that allow deep penetration into the cells from multiple positions, producing increased wave dispersion and, consequently, better results. This advanced technology sets Clearlight apart from competitor’s units that originated from designs developed to grow plants — basically grow lights. And, people are not plants!
“At Clearlight, we continuously reimagine the way healing efficiency is achieved,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, founder and CEO of Clearlight, who is widely considered one of the early pioneers in infrared sauna technologies and is the holder of several patents related to technologies for healing the human body. “Clearlight has been a pioneer in Infrared Saunas, delivering high-quality infrared therapy for more than 25 years. About 15 years ago, we expanded our expertise to include light therapy inside of our infrared saunas. Today, we’ve taken that same advanced technology and integrated it into our complete line of personal Clearlight Red Light Therapy devices to deliver optimal wavelengths to your body, provide an energy boost to your cells, promote cell regeneration, and help you achieve your desired health and wellness outcomes.”
Clearlight red lights are specifically designed for healing the human body. Unlike competing products that rely on a single optical output indice at 30° that limits the light absorption by the body, Clearlight’s innovative Red Light Therapy wellness solutions utilize a prescribed mix of 7° to 60° array, which creates multiple cross-acceptance angles for the light waves as they penetrate the skin. The advanced design allows for greater light absorption by the skin delivering more benefits in less time in each session. With Variable Optics™ the body receives precise, pin-pointed light for targeted therapy on specific areas, as well as gentle and diffuse light for a comprehensive whole-body treatment. This transformative approach to red light therapy gives maximum healing in record time.

Infrared Sauna Use in UCSF Clinical Trial Shows Promise in Combating Depression
May 20, 2024
11 of 12 Participants No Longer Met Criteria for Depression after Combined Heat Treatment Using The Clearlight ® Curve™ Far Infrared Sauna Domes and an 8-Session Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Protocol
BERKELEY, CA.—MAY 20, 2024—In conjunction with May as Mental Health Awareness Month, preliminary results from a University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) clinical trial combining heat exposure with psychotherapy sessions showed reductions in depression. The study, led by Ashley E. Mason, PhD, a clinical psychologist at the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Health and the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, tested an integrated mind-body treatment combining whole-body hyperthermia (WBH), a type of whole-body heat treatment, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). The study, which was the first trial to integrate sauna sessions with psychotherapy sessions for the treatment of MDD, was published on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, in The International Journal of Hyperthermia and is accessible here. The study used the The Curve™ Far Infrared Sauna Dome, manufactured by Clearlight®, the industry leader in infrared sauna and pioneer in innovative health and wellness solutions.
In brief, the study enrolled 16 adults with MDD who received eight weekly sessions of cognitive behavior therapy and weekly or biweekly sauna sessions, conducted in a Curve Dome. Dr. Mason began the clinical trial after being inspired by prior work showing that infrared heat treatment caused rapid reductions in depression. Preliminary results from prior studies and Dr. Mason’s most recent study suggests that infrared heat treatment may help significantly reduce depression symptoms. While Dr. Mason’s future clinical trial testing efficacy will take several years, early results from her feasibility studies are showing that whole-body hyperthermia may reduce depression symptoms. In this most recent trial, Mason also found that sauna sessions acutely improved mood, and found that these improvements predicted overall response to the treatment.
“This is exciting work, and it is early days,” said Dr. Mason. “That 11 of 12 participants who completed treatment no longer met criteria for major depressive disorder sends a positive message – we need to continue researching this treatment package.”
“This groundbreaking study on depression from UCSF aligns with what we have been hearing from our customers for the past 25 years. People have been telling us how using our infrared saunas has changed their lives by reducing stress and lifting their spirits. Thanks to Dr. Ashley Mason and all the people at UCSF who have worked tirelessly to bring these facts to light so that people can find new ways to heal,” said Clearlight® Founder and CEO, Dr. Raleigh Duncan. Dr. Duncan is widely recognized for his expertise in infrared therapy as one of the most significant contributors to technologies for healing the human body and as a leader in advancing the industry over the past three decades.

A cedar closet had served as overflow wardrobe storage, but the new walk-in closet rendered it redundant. The clients asked that this soothing retreat take its place. “Saunas are a beautiful thing, covered in wood. They exude relaxation,” Goldbach said.

How a Pair of Empty-Nesters Created Their Dream Home
With the kids out of the house, a Chicago couple who love to entertain splashed out their home with color, pattern and sumptuousness. One long-desired priority: a walk-in closet and dressing room.
By Elizabeth Sweet, April 24, 2024 at 12:46 pm ET
THE NAP OF LUXURY The ‘adulting’ of the Chicago apartment, by local firm En Masse Architecture & Design, included an upholstery upgrade to velvet in the living room.
“THEY JUST WANTED what they wanted,” said designer Lucas Goldbach of the Chicago couple whose apartment he helped transform into their version of empty-nester nirvana. The pair—he in finance, she in fashion—had lived in their seventh-floor home for 25 years and renovated twice, most recently while raising kids.

Now on their own, the well-traveled, adventuresome duo wanted to lean into pattern mixing and to paint walls gutsier colors, recalls Goldbach, a member of Chicago’s En Masse Architecture and Design, who devised the plan with founding partner Mike Shively. No longer wary of grape-juice stains and roughhousing, the homeowners could indulge in luxe fabrics like velvet and linen, and asked for decor that would charm the guests they frequently entertain.
A homework room off the kitchen became a cozy dining niche; a cedar closet, a sauna. To create the walk-in wardrobe the wife had imagined for years, they stole footage from a college-age son’s bedroom. “She is known among friends as a stylish person,” Goldbach said. To celebrate the dressing area’s completion, the couple threw a reveal party.
Today, the once practical, family-focused home is maximized for dressing up, hosting and enjoying life. Here, how design helped it reflect the personalities of its liberated owners.
Don’t Blow Out the Kitchen
When the couple was caught up in busy family life, their kitchen’s aesthetic was not a priority. Red-and-white checkerboard cork floors and white cabinets sufficed. The current renovation honors the building’s 1920s pedigree, with dark-grouted subway tile and a classic checkerboard floor. The period-proper black-and-white palette offers a reprieve

from the rest of the apartment’s rambunctious color. As another nod to the kitchen’s art deco vintage, Goldbach and team rejected an open plan, repeating arches and transoms found elsewhere in the home. “The clients still have guests crowding into the space when entertaining,” said Goldbach, “which is part of the fun of having folks over.”
Bang Out a Banquette
The study area off the kitchen became a high-design breakfast nook. Scalamandre’s geometric Amazink Velvet on the banquette and lively floral Yokata Bleu wallpaper share enough color that their energetic patterns mesh. The decor here and in the exuberant walk-

in closet, the first decorating schemes to be completed, set the tone for the rest of the apartment. “Those spaces had so much richness,” said Goldbach, “and the clients were like, ‘Oh, now that I see I could do it here, I want it everywhere.’ ”
Enliven the Living Room
A formal entertaining room once painted a subdued blue-gray, the parlor needed vibrancy now that it’s used more often. “They find reasons to celebrate,” said Goldbach of the couple. The new wall color, Benjamin Moore’s Fort Pierce Green, energized the space. “The previous iteration did not have the same level of richness,” said the designer. He kept the furniture layout intact but dialed up the level of saturation and pattern mixing, with assists from upholstery in punchy Fabricut textiles and an emerald Chinese art deco rug from 1stDibs.

Dress Up the Closet
Goldbach describes the wife as a “very bold, very confident dresser.” Fittingly, as a jumping-off point for her dream closet’s palette, she was drawn to Mary Katrantzou’s unrestrained Botanical Paradise Rug from the Rug Company. A citrine window seat and a Roman shade in a bubbly Voutsa print play supporting roles. Benjamin Moore’s Franklin White, a subtle peachy-pink, coats the walls and cabinets. “In a closet, you need a color that doesn’t affect how you look in the clothes you’re trying on,” said Goldbach. The shade delivers “a bouncing glow on the skin.”

Let Color Clothe You
The couple’s new dressing room, which claimed square footage from a closet, a hallway and their son’s bedroom, gave the husband more wardrobe storage, too. It also makes the pair’s bedroom suite an experience, says Goldbach, who notes that the wife “loves when rooms envelope you in a color.” Doing the job here: Benjamin Moore’s Regent Green on the cabinetry and the ceiling’s venetian-plaster coating. The same fabric found in the Roman shade of the wife’s walk-in closet reappears here as contents-concealing curtains.

Gussy Up the Guest Room
Goldbach and his team updated an existing guest room to suit visitors and their son (whose room became the new closet) when he is in town. Artwork and a zebra rug from his old digs make the son feel at home, but in the sophisticated context of a plaid, menswear-inspired wall covering by Phillip Jeffries, luxe bedding and midcentury Lane night tables, his pieces “live in a more grown-up way,” said Goldbach.

The clients asked that this soothing retreat take its place. “Saunas are a beautiful thing, covered in wood. They exude relaxation,” Goldbach said.

Lo Bosworth is among the increasing number of Americans who are prioritizing wellness spaces, amenities, and accents in their own homes.
Bosworth, founder of the beauty brand Love Wellness, technically has a home office in her New York City apartment. But, more often than not, she found herself working from her kitchen table, preferring the airier space over the closed-off room whose classification was rooted more in realtor-speak than reality. And since this is New York City, where every square foot is a precious (and pricey) one, Bosworth was determined not to let the “office” go to waste. After months of deliberation, she installed a Clearlight Infrared sauna and covered the rest of the room in gym flooring ordered off of Amazon. Now, she uses the space almost daily, either for a dry heat session or for streaming an online workout class. “I have some metal toxicity and residual Epstein-Barr I’m working on, and an infrared sweat helps to detoxify the body, especially for anyone dealing with any kind of autoimmune issue,” she says of her choice. “I converted the space that got no use into one I use frequently.”
