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.

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.
