You can’t visit Laguna Beach without spending time by the water! Main Beach is the perfect spot to lay out your towel and soak up the sun. Just a short two-block walk from Spa Del Rio, it’s super convenient. As you relax, you can watch local volleyball players showing off their skills on the courts or take a dip in ocean. Main Beach is ideal for people-watching, catching some rays, or just taking in the iconic Laguna coastline.

Start your day right with a delicious breakfast just steps away from Spa Del Rio. For a healthy delicious vegan start, head over to
Zinc Cafe where you’ll find fresh and vibrant dishes . If you’re in the mood for something heartier, Anastasia Cafe offers amazing omelets and waffles that are sure to satisfy. And if you’re craving a perfectly brewed latte and a tasty pastry, stop by Rye Goods, conveniently located just downstairs from Spa Del Rio. It’s the perfect spot for a quick and satisfying bite.

Dinner
When it’s time for dinner, you don’t have to go far—
The Lumberyard Restaurant is right in the same Lumberyard Plaza as Spa Del Rio, making it a super convenient choice. It’s one of our personal favorites for its great food, drinks, and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re up for a short walk, 230 Forest is another fantastic option, just about a five-minute stroll from the spa. And for those who love live music, Mozambique and The Drake are top spots to enjoy a meal with some great tunes.

What Is Infrared Light Therapy? Infrared light therapy is a cutting-edge skincare treatment that uses wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the skin. Unlike ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can damage the skin, infrared light is completely safe and works to repair and rejuvenate from the inside out. It's a non-invasive treatment that has gained popularity for its ability to address a wide range of skin concerns. Why Pair Infrared Light Therapy with Your Next Facial? Adding infrared light therapy to your facial amplifies the benefits of both treatments. Here's why: Enhanced Collagen Production: Facials often target hydration and exfoliation, but infrared light goes deeper by stimulating collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness. Reduced Inflammation: Infrared light calms redness and inflammation, making it an excellent addition for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Improved Product Absorption: After a facial, the skin is primed to absorb serums and creams. Infrared light boosts circulation, ensuring products penetrate even deeper for maximum efficacy. Long-Lasting Glow: The combination of exfoliation and light therapy leaves your skin radiant and glowing long after your appointment. Who Benefits Most from Infrared Light Therapy? While almost everyone can enjoy the benefits of infrared light therapy, certain skin types and concerns see exceptional results: Aging Skin: Helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging by promoting collagen production. Acne-Prone Skin: Reduces inflammation and speeds up healing for blemishes and acne scars. Sensitive or Reactive Skin: Soothes irritation and calms redness, making it ideal for rosacea and other sensitive conditions. Dull or Uneven Skin Tone: Boosts blood flow and cellular repair for a brighter, more even complexion. How Often Can You Use Infrared Light Therapy? Infrared light therapy is gentle enough for regular use. For optimal results, most experts recommend: Twice a Week: For those targeting specific concerns like acne or wrinkles. Once a Month: As a maintenance treatment paired with a facial. Your skincare professional can help tailor the frequency to your specific needs and goals. Contraindications: Is Infrared Light Therapy Right for You? While infrared light therapy is generally safe, there are some cases where it should be avoided: Pregnancy: Consult with your doctor before undergoing treatment. Photosensitivity: If you are taking medication that causes photosensitivity, infrared light may not be suitable. Active Skin Infections: Open wounds or infections can be aggravated by the treatment. Medical Conditions: Those with severe health conditions or a history of seizures should seek medical advice before proceeding. Always discuss your health and skin history with your therapist to ensure this treatment is safe for you. How to Book Your Infrared Light Therapy Session Ready to experience the benefits of infrared light therapy? Pair it with your next facial to unlock glowing, rejuvenated skin. Whether you’re looking to calm inflammation, combat aging, or brighten your complexion, this innovative treatment will leave you feeling refreshed and radiant. Enhance your next facial with infrared light therapy—your skin will thank you for it! Visit us to learn more or book your appointment today.
