Completing the Modern Recovery Ritual with Doctor-Designed, Science-Backed Cold Therapy Designed to Work Seamlessly with Heat and Light

Clearlight also Introduces the Next Evolution of InfraredSauna.com, Clearlight’s Online Integrated Wellness Platform

BERKELEY, CA. March 25— Clearlight®, the global pioneer and industry leader in infrared sauna technology and integrated wellness solutions, today announced the launch of The Clearlight® Plunge, a premium cold plunge designed to complete the pioneering brand’s ecosystem of modern wellness and recovery. Orders for the Clearlight Plunge open today, marking a major expansion of Clearlight’s long-standing vision: wellness is most effective and powerful when therapies are intentionally integrated, not experienced in isolation. With the addition of the Clearlight Plunge, Clearlight continues to make the luxury of self-care accessible to everyone through its best-in-class, complete suite of wellness technologies.

The Most Trusted Name in Saunas is Now Powering The Clearlight® Plunge

For nearly three decades, Clearlight has led the category by designing wellness technologies that work together. The company combines infrared heat, red light therapy, halotherapy, aromatherapy, and vibrational resonance therapy to maximize benefits within a single session. The introduction of the Clearlight Plunge brings cold therapy into this wellness and recovery ecosystem, enabling thoughtfully designed contrast protocols that further support recovery, resilience, performance, and other key benefits.

“When heat, cold, and light are designed to work together, the body responds more efficiently. The Clearlight Plunge completes this equation,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, Founder of Clearlight, who is widely recognized as one of the most significant contributors to technologies for healing the human body and as a leader in advancing the wellness industry. “We know you’re investing your time, which is one of the most valuable commodities we have, so by having complementary wellness modalities, we up the healing potential for your body.”

The Ultimate Contrast Therapy Companion

Unlike standalone ice baths, the Clearlight Plunge is designed and engineered to complement Clearlight’s infrared saunas and award-winning red light therapy systems, both aesthetically and physiologically. Built with a Stainless Steel basin and Canadian Cedar exterior, the Clearlight Plunge reflects the same top-quality craftsmanship, enduring durability, safety, warranty, efficacy, and premium aesthetic for which Clearlight is known.

The Clearlight® Plunge features a 36°F to 104°F temperature range, integrated ozone sanitation with dual filtration, and SmartLife app control (IOS & Android) for effortless operation. The insulated lid helps maintain thermal efficiency and water cleanliness. Crafted to fit through standard doors (29.5” wide), you can position this wellness solution in various indoor and outdoor spaces. The Clearlight Plunge is a seamless addition to your wellness space as it arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Simply fill it, plug it in, set the temperature, and plunge. 

Its ergonomic design includes a natural seated position, eliminating buoyancy issues. Additionally, it can accommodate one or two people, with an optional removable seat available for purchase. The Clearlight Plunge depth allows for full-body immersion and comfort, supporting consistent and effective cold exposure. “Cold therapy should never feel like punishment; rather, like all wellness solutions, it should feel purposeful and a part of your overall health routine,” added Duncan.

The Science Behind Contrast Therapy

“When paired with Clearlight infrared sauna heat and red light therapy, cold exposure becomes part of a larger recovery protocol which is designed to support both physical performance and nervous system regulation,” Duncan noted.

Research shows that regular cold plunging has health benefits, including:

  • Better Sleep: Encourages parasympathetic nervous system activation which helps with deeper rest and recovery.
    Immune System Support: May stimulate white blood cells and enhance immune function.
  • Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow by causing vasoconstriction during immersion and vasodilation afterward.
  • Mental Clarity and Focus: Boosts norepinephrine and dopamine, sharpening alertness and improving mood.
  • Metabolic Boost: Activates brown fat, increasing calorie burn and improving metabolic efficiency.
  • Muscle Recovery: Reduces inflammation and soreness by constricting blood vessels and flushing out metabolic waste.
  • Pain Relief: Triggers endorphin release, acting as a natural analgesic.
  • Stress Reduction: Helps regulate cortisol levels, promoting relaxation and resilience against stress.

Decades of Craftsmanship Are Powering Your Plunge

The Clearlight Plunge is designed to provide an optimal cold therapy experience, combining advanced cooling and heating technology, an integrated cleaning component, convenience and comfort with a user-friendly design. Key features include:

  • Temperature Range: The Clearlight Plunge can be adjusted from 37.4°F to 107.6°F, offering both cold and warm therapy options. This allows for a versatile therapeutic experience tailored to individual needs. 
  • Self-Cleaning System: The Clearlight Plunge is equipped with a double-cleaning system that includes an ozone generator and dual filtration (10” x 2.5” 20-micron pleated sediment + mesh filter). This ensures the water remains clean and safe with minimal manual maintenance. 
  • Plug-and-Plunge Setup: The Clearlight Plunge arrives fully assembled and only requires filling with water and plugging into a standard 120V socket. No additional plumbing is required, making setup quick and easy. 

Trusted by Athletes, Designed for Everyday Life: Recover Like a Pro™

Clearlight’s approach to recovery has long been trusted by professional athletes, coaches, teams and trainers who also understand the power of stacking wellness modalities. Among them is Los Angeles Dodgers’ catcher Will Smith, a three-time World Series champion, and Olympian and World Fencing League Founder Miles Chamley-Watson.

Perspire Sauna Studio Launches Halotherapy Nationwide with Clearlight® Award-Winning HALO ONE®

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.
