Costa Mesa, CA. —March 8—Perspire Sauna Studio, the nation’s leading infrared sauna and red-light therapy franchise, announced the launch of Clearlight® HALO ONE® Halotherapy across its entire franchise system nationwide.
Halotherapy derived from the Greek word halos, meaning salt is the controlled inhalation of pure sodium chloride (NaCl) particles in a wellness setting. The modality is designed to mimic the microclimate of natural salt caves and has historically been explored as a complementary therapy for respiratory support.
At Perspire Sauna Studio, Halotherapy treatment is administered through Clearlight’s HALO ONE® technology, a compact halogenerator placed directly inside the studio’s infrared saunas. The device actively breaks pharmaceutical-grade salt into microscopic particles and disperses them into the air. Guests inhale the concentrated salt in the air while enjoying the benefits of an infrared sauna and red light therapy experience.
“Perspire has always focused on making science-backed wellness accessible and intentional,” said Lee Braun, Founder and CEO of Perspire Sauna Studio. “The addition of Halotherapy across our entire system deepens the value of each session by supporting respiratory wellness and further promoting relaxation.”
“We thoroughly enjoy working with Lee Braun, his entire team and the wonderful franchise owners at Perspire; and we share the same vision when it comes to healing people,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, Founder and CEO, Clearlight. “At Clearlight, layering wellness therapies, i.e., combining infrared heat, red light therapy, halotherapy (salt therapy), and other modalities, to maximize the health benefits in a single session is the real secret to elevating your daily health routine. Adding our HALO ONE ® to any Perspire sauna session makes a great deal of sense as it maximizes the therapeutic effects in the same amount of time as a standard infrared sauna session.”
What Is Halotherapy?
Halotherapy involves breathing in fine salt particles in a controlled environment. Emerging research has explored its use as a complementary wellness modality for adults with common colds, bronchitis, asthma, COPD, and other respiratory concerns. The latest studies suggest halotherapy may help improve breathing comfort and mucus clearance, contributing to enhanced respiratory function and overall well-being.
Halotherapy may be particularly appealing for individuals managing seasonal allergies, common colds, or respiratory congestion, as well as those seeking a complementary approach to their overall wellness routine.
Unlike traditional salt rooms or standalone salt caves, Perspire integrates Halotherapy directly into its infrared sauna environment. This pairing allows guests to experience:
- Infrared heat, which gently raises core temperature and supports circulation
- Red-light therapy, which promotes relaxation and cellular support
- HALO ONE® salt dispersal, designed to support respiratory comfort
Each halotherapy session is delivered via a Halotherapy device within the sauna. When the HALO ONE® is activated, the sauna temperature is set around 140°F to ensure optimal experience conditions. Guests may notice sensations such as sinus drainage, or increased mucus clearance, which are expected physiological responses associated with salt inhalation.
While research continues to develop, leading health organizations categorize halotherapy as a complementary therapy and recommend consulting with healthcare providers before incorporating it into wellness routines.
“Our goal is to create a wellness destination where guests can build sustainable habits,” Braun added. “Halotherapy strengthens our commitment to offering modalities that support people to feel balanced, clear and restored.”
The systemwide rollout of Halotherapy marks another step in Perspire’s continued innovation strategy. With nearly 100 studios open nationwide and continued franchise development underway, the brand remains focused on elevating the in-studio experience while maintaining consistency across its franchise network.
Clearlight® is the global pioneer and industry leader in infrared sauna technology, red light therapy, and wellness solutions for nearly 30 years.
