Ever catch yourself staring at your nails, wishing they’d grow stronger and faster? We hear it all the time at Body Lab Studio: “My nails are brittle, slow-growing—what can I do?” You’re not alone, and we totally get the frustration. That’s why we’re excited about POLY red light therapy. Picture it as a gentle nudge—like watering a plant to help it flourish. Studies suggest it boosts keratin production and circulation, key for nail growth, and here’s a bonus: all our infrared equipment—like the VacuTherm Treadmill and Infrared Climber—supports not just nails but hair growth too, thanks to that deep-penetrating warmth. Let’s chat about how it works!
How Does Red Light Therapy Help Nails (and Hair)?
So, what’s the magic? POLY red light therapy uses safe wavelengths (620-750 nm) to wake up your nail beds—and beyond. It’s like a spa day for your cells, encouraging:
- More Keratin – The stuff that makes nails (and hair!) tough and resilient.
- Better Blood Flow – Delivering nutrients to your nail matrix and hair follicles.
- Less Inflammation – Calming things down for healthier growth.
A 2021 study found it improved nail strength after six weeks, and our full lineup—including the Infrared Power Treadmill and Cocoon Wellness Pods—amps up circulation and cell repair, benefiting your hair too. At Body Lab Studio, it’s all about that holistic glow. Curious? Let’s keep going.
Nail Damage? Our Equipment’s Got You Covered
Weak nails from manicures or just life’s wear and tear? We hear you say, “I want nails that don’t snap!” Red light therapy can help by speeding up recovery—think more oxygen and nutrients to rebuild. It even tackled fungal nails in one study, showing its repair power. And it’s not just POLY—our VacuTherm Recline Bike and Infrared Climber use infrared to boost blood flow, supporting stronger, healthier nails and hair growth. It’s a win-win across all our gear. So, how do you make it work best? Let’s get practical.
What to Expect and How to Boost Results
Here’s the coffee-talk truth: nail growth therapy with red light takes time, not miracles. Try this:
- 2-3 Sessions a Week – Keeps your cells humming; most clients see a lift in 4-6 weeks.
- Expect Gradual Wins – Smoother, stronger nails (and shinier hair!) with consistency.
- Pair It Up – Hydrate, eat biotin-rich foods, and skip harsh polish—our infrared gear loves a healthy base.
All our equipment—like the Cross Trainer Infrared—enhances red light benefits for nails and hair by improving circulation and detox. At Body Lab Studio, we’ll set you up for success, whether you’re new or a regular. Ready for the how-to?

In this study, eight patients with paronychia induced by epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors received red light therapy on one hand or foot 2–3 times per week for six weeks, while the contralateral side served as a control. The red light-treated areas showed significantly lower erythema, severity, and pain scores at weeks 4, 6, and 8, with no adverse events reported.

This retrospective analysis evaluated the efficacy of a 635 nm/405 nm dual-diode laser in treating toenail onychomycosis. Subjects received 12-minute treatments weekly for 2 or 4 weeks. Results indicated a significant improvement in nail clarity and reduction in fungal presence, suggesting that red light therapy can effectively treat fungal nail infections.

This research focused on the impact of low-level laser therapy on the proliferation of different cell types in culture. The study concluded that LLLT promotes cell proliferation, which is essential for tissue regeneration and repair processes, thereby supporting its application in accelerating nail growth. - Mignon, C., Botchkareva, N.

Scientific Reports, 6, 30517.
This study investigated the effects of red and near-infrared light on gene expression related to inflammation and fibroblast activity. Results showed that red light modulates the expression of genes involved in inflammation and tissue remodeling, indicating its potential to enhance nail growth and reduce inflammatory responses. - Barolet, D., & Boucher, A.

This case series examined the use of low-level light therapy in preventing hypertrophic scars and keloids in patients undergoing surgery. The results indicated that LLLT applied prophylactically reduced the incidence of abnormal scarring, suggesting its potential in improving wound healing outcomes, which may be beneficial for nail health.
