Clearlight®, Perspire Sauna Studio and HigherDOSE to Support Firefighters in California with Donated Infrared Sauna Sessions and Sauna Blankets

Leading Wellness Partners Bring Detoxifying Power of Infrared Therapy To First Responders

BERKELEY, CA., – January 21, 2025– In support of our heroes on the frontlines and in response to the devastating wildfires in Southern California, Clearlight®, the industry leader in infrared saunas and a pioneer in innovative health, Perspire Sauna Studio, the country’s largest full-spectrum infrared (IR) and red-light (RL) sauna therapy franchise, and HigherDOSE, the innovative at-home wellness technology brand, are providing much-needed wellness support to first responders battling the blazes. Through a donation of infrared sauna sessions and refurbished infrared sauna blankets, these leading wellness companies are expanding their long-standing partnerships to provide assistance to men and women currently fighting the fires.

Infrared saunas and blankets, which people report to be helpful in reducing stress, may play a critical role in helping firefighters who are exposed to harmful chemicals and toxins while fighting the wildfires. Infrared sessions support the body’s natural healing process by helping to rid itself of accumulated toxins. 

“Firefighters face incredible physical and mental strain, especially during these unprecedented California wildfires. The chemicals and dangerous toxicants absorbed by their bodies pose a serious risk to their health and long-term well-being,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, founder and CEO at Clearlight. “We’re honored to support firefighters and hope they will find healing, restoration and recovery through the infrared sessions.”

The goal of this effort is to ensure that firefighters in the hardest-hit areas have easy access to recovery. 

• Perspire Sauna Studio and Clearlight are providing access to sauna sessions in the proprietary infrared saunas designed by Clearlight at various Perspire locations throughout California. 
• One free session will be available to eligible firefighters to ensure they get the full detox benefits of infrared therapy.
• HigherDOSE will donate 50 of their infrared sauna blankets, developed in partnership with Clearlight, to provide those battling the fires with the detoxifying benefits of an infrared sauna in the portable blankets.

”We’ve seen firsthand how infrared sessions can help firefighters manage the physical demands of their work, and we’re proud to collaborate with Clearlight and HigherDOSE on this initiative,” said Perspire Sauna Studio Founder and CEO Lee Braun.  “With fires still raging, this is a moment for our companies to step up together and show the support our firefighters deserve. The wellness of our SoCal community is our priority, and this effort is a natural fit for us.”

“We’re deeply honored to partner with Perspire Sauna Studio and Clearlight to help heal our heroes. Firefighters put their lives on the line for our safety, and providing them with the restorative power of infrared therapy is a small but meaningful way to support their recovery after the immense challenges of the LA fires,” said Lauren Berlingeri, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, HigherDOSE.

Dr. Raleigh added: “Clearlight, Perspire and HigherDose are committed to supporting firefighters, not just during this current time of crisis, but as part of an ongoing effort to ensure their overall, long-term health.”  

The trio of wellness brands are working on a number of initiatives that support individual firefighters, crews, retrofitting fire stations and conducting scientific research for their long term wellness. UCSF is currently using the Clearlight Curve® Far Infrared Sauna Dome to study whether infrared heating can promote the detoxification of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, heavy metals, and mycotoxins.  Perspire has previously donated infrared sauna units to fire halls in both Orange County, California and Florida to aid in recovery. HigherDOSE has previously donated infrared sauna blankets to NYFD. Clearlight and HigherDOSE also offer special pricing for first responders and those who go the extra mile in their jobs via the ID.me program. Visit: Clearlight’s First Responder ID.ME program and HigherDOSE ID.ME page.

The team effort by Clearlight, Perspire and HigherDose comes at a time when local and California state officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom, have been present on the ground and vocal in their support of emergency responders, with plans for long-term recovery efforts.

2024 Award Winner and Clear Choice for RED Light Therapy

BERKELEY, CA.—February is Heart Health Month and will highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy heart and making lifestyle choices to support cardiovascular well-being. Reflecting on matters of the heart, including self-love, it’s also the month that celebrates Valentine’s Day while setting the stage for the entertainment industry to roll out the red carpet on March 2nd. So, it’s fitting to shine a light on wellness and give ourselves and our loved ones the self-care we all deserve. 

Designed by industry leader Clearlight®, the PERSONAL Red Light Therapy Tower (“the PERSONAL Tower”) shines bright as the mid-level wellness marvel that supports health, inside and out. The 2024 “Best Fitness Aid Winner” (Well Spa 360, Readers’ Choice), and “Best LED Device Finalist” (Skin Inc, Readers Choice)13.5″ tower is more than just a pretty device. With its groundbreaking Variable Optics™ Technology, the PERSONAL Tower not only provides a portable, powerful dose of targeted red light to the face AND neck AND upper torso, but it also works anywhere else on the body as well (something the LED face masks touted on social media and elsewhere cannot offer.) 

Boosting mood, reducing inflammation, promoting healing, helping with pain management, offering better sleep, reducing wrinkles and age spots, and more, the PERSONAL Tower delivers precise, pin-pointed light for professional-grade therapy on specific areas, as well as gentle and diffuse light for a comprehensive whole-body treatment, thanks to Variable Optics™. The PERSONAL Tower is a part of Clearlight’s full suite of award-winning FDA-registered red lights which also includes the FULL BODY Tower and the CORE Tower—specifically designed for healing the human body and made in the USA. 

“Our mission at Clearlight is to further illuminate the path for optimal health and well-being. Red light therapy is the easiest and most advanced way to stop the body from growing old, offering a direct pathway to cell regeneration and longevity,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, founder and CEO of Clearlight, widely recognized for his expertise in infrared therapy, one of the most significant contributors to technologies for healing the human body, and a leader in advancing the industry over the past three decades. 

 “Red light therapy heals the body with light alone. Red light and near infrared are combined and put and boost energy into the mitochondria of our cells in a process called photobiomodulation. As certain frequencies of the sun allow our bodies to synthesize Vitamin D, red light allows our cells to live longer and function with more energy. This is the definition of anti-aging,” he added.

PERSONAL Tower to Power Up Cells for Optimal Performance
Red Light Therapy causes a phenomenon called photobiomodulation (PBM) using near infrared and specific wavelengths of red light that actually trigger the production of energy in the form of ATP in the mitochondria of our living cells. More simply put, photobiomodulation is a way of increasing the life span of the cells in our body, which by its very definition causes longevity and anti-aging to occur.  

Red Light 101 – Photobiomodulation Explained

Clearlight Red Light Therapy: The Science Behind The Light

“I’ve been using the Clearlight red light therapy personal tower almost daily for a year and can attest to the skin benefits I’ve experienced. My skin is the clearest and brightest it’s been in years. Besides the skin benefits, red light therapy may also aid with muscle recovery, inflammation and cell regeneration. The small tower is compact, which makes it easy to store. The personal tower is meant to be used while sitting, making it convenient to use while working, reading or relaxing,” noted Nasha Addarich Martinex, Managing Editor for CNET, wellness.

The Clear Choice: PERSONAL Tower versus LED Masks
While LED masks have gained popularity on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram for their convenience, the Clearlight® PERSONAL Red Light Therapy Tower elevates red light therapy to the next level by offering superior performance, versatility, and value. Unlike LED masks, which are limited in both size, scope, adaptability and power, the PERSONAL Tower is engineered to deliver professional-grade therapy and results for every part of the body, making it the clear choice and the smart choice for people of all ages wanting to maximize well-being and experience the benefits of red light therapy.

Comprehensive Coverage and Versatile—The PERSONAL Tower treats more surface area of the skin than LED masks and is perfect for targeting the face, neck, arms, chest, and legs, reducing the need for multiple wellness devices. 

• The PERSONAL Tower:

• • This compact, portable solution provides better coverage and can be positioned to treat different body parts, eliminating the need for expensive add-ons.
  •  Its adaptable design makes it ideal for a wide range of therapy needs.
• LED Masks:
  • Designed only for facial use, there is a need to purchase separate devices to target and deliver therapy to other areas such as the neck, hands, or chest. The additional purchase can significantly increase costs.  

Superior Irradiance for Faster Results—The PERSONAL Tower delivers exceptional power, ensuring quicker and more effective results compared to LED masks.

• The PERSONAL Tower:
  • Dual wavelengths: Red 650 nm and NIR 850 nm.
  • Irradiance: 55-110 mW/cm² at 4 inches, far surpassing most masks.
  • Delivers up to 18 joules/cm² in a 10-minute session, providing an optimal therapeutic dose.
  • FDA-registered & manufactured in the USA, guaranteeing top-tier quality and safety.
• LED Masks:
  • Typically lower power, with irradiance levels around 30 mW/cm² or less.
  • Requires longer sessions with limited impact compared to the PERSONAL Tower.

Comfort and Convenience—The PERSONAL Tower offers a compact, portable and comfortable experience.

• The PERSONAL Tower: 
  • Is a freestanding, easy-to-use wellness solution. Place it on a desk, table, or countertop, the floor, or other location; adjust its position, and enjoy hands-free, targeted coverage without hassle.
• LED Masks: 
  • Most require straps, leading to some discomfort, skin marks, sweating, and uneven light exposure.

Curated for Clearlight® Vibrational Resonance Therapy to Further Healing Through Sound 

Founder Debuts First LP Underscoring Brand’s Longstanding Commitment to Music

BERKELEY, CA.—Nov. 20, 2024 – Celebrating wellness and musical innovation, Clearlight®, the industry leader in infrared saunas and a pioneer in innovative health and wellness solutions, announced its exclusive line of curated Vibrational Resonance Therapy (VRT) Spotify playlists. The specially-crafted playlists are designed to complement the Clearlight® Vibrational Resonance Therapy, an exclusive add-on that elevates the infrared sauna experience through the healing power of sound and vibration. Further reflecting the brand’s ongoing connection to music is the debut of Clearlight founder, Dr. Raleigh Duncan’s first LP, “Falling Away,” featuring several tracks inspired by his sauna sessions. 

“VRT is a journey into holistic sound healing,” said Dr. Duncan. “Today, we celebrate our deep-rooted connection to music which continues to help fuel growth in the company’s wellness solutions. We designed our transducers from scratch, crafting our own castings to achieve the perfect blend of technology and wellness. We collaborated on these playlists to resonate with optimal frequencies in our VRT. There’s a story behind every detail, and it’s rooted in our commitment to both music and natural healing.”

Dr. Designed Clearlight VRT: Transformative Wellness Through Sound

Every cell in the body resonates at a specific frequency. Vibrational resonance therapy uses the power of sound waves and vibration that resonate with the body’s natural frequencies, and delivers targeted sound waves that align with these frequencies to promote healing and balance. Clearlight® Vibrational Resonance Therapy is an exclusive add-on for Clearlight infrared saunas that is easily fully integrated with two transducers that attach to the sauna bench, enabling people to feel the vibrations of music and sound frequencies while taking a relaxing approach to wellness.

Operated by a remote control, the user-friendly VRT experience is tailored to resonate with the body’s natural rhythms and adjust to different sound frequencies to promote health benefits including:

• enhanced sleep 
• increased relaxation
• mood improvement
• muscle recovery
• pain reduction, and  
• stress relief

A Spotify Playlist for Every Mood

Clearlight’s new Spotify playlists amplify the infrared sauna experience, featuring mood-specific tracks on Clearlight’s Spotify Playlists as well as playlists tailored for use with VRT. Clearlight: Music for VRT is crafted specially for Clearlight by Sausalito-based sound-healing specialist, David Gibson. This exclusive Spotify playlist features tracks created to resonate with optimal frequencies for healing and relaxation. Also available are meditation tracks, sound bowl playlists, and other soothing compilations. The lists are available now on Spotify as well as directly downloadable here.

Clearlight’s Musical Legacy

From the company’s inception, music has been an integral part of Clearlight’s DNA. Founder Dr. Duncan, a lifelong musician since the age of 12 and songwriter, explains:

“There was a time when every Clearlight team member had a background in music—even our patent attorney. Music teaches you collaboration—you listen together, play together, riff together—and that spirit flows into everything we do here. Today, a majority of our employees have a connection to music, which we celebrate and make time for because it not only makes us better humans, but allows us to push the boundaries of what’s possible in wellness and in creativity.”

Dr. Duncan’s personal passion for music culminates this year with the release of his debut LP, “Falling Away,” featuring 11 songs, many of which were inspired by his sauna sessions. Songs like “Lydia,” born from a dream and crafted into poetry, and “Mount Tamalpais,” a nod to the late John Denver, are a natural extension of both Duncan’s and the brand’s commitment to holistic health and creativity.

Supporting Musical Talents at Clearlight

Clearlight continues to foster a culture where music thrives, supporting employees pursuing musical endeavors with encouragement and flexibility. Many team members, from marketers and the co-founders to customer service specialists and those leading operations, share their musical talents both in the workplace as well as performing outside of the office, further enriching the collaborative spirit of Clearlight.

 “The creative process of music-making—listening, collaborating, playing, and harmonizing—is a reflection of how we approach product design and innovation at Clearlight. We’re wellness focused and musically-minded—music and well-being aren’t just a part of our history; it’s who we are,” added Andy Kaps, Clearlight president and co-founder. Kaps is also a professional drummer who performed locally, nationally and internationally as part of Angst, a high-energy San Francisco trio in the 80s whose music included an eclectic mix of punk, country, 1960s garage and pop.
