If you’ve ever dealt with eczema, you know it’s more than just dry, itchy skin. It’s exhausting. The constant irritation, the sleepless nights, and that endless hunt for the “perfect cream” can really take a toll. It’s not just about your skin; it’s about how you feel in your body and in your own skin every day.
For so many of our Myrtle Beach clients, eczema flare-ups feel like a cycle that never ends, but your skin can find calm again.
Eczema goes deeper than just the surface of your skin. It’s your body’s way of asking for balance. While most creams only address what you can see, real relief starts when you support your body’s healing from the inside.
At Body Lab Studio, we help restore balance naturally with gentle, non-invasive therapies. These treatments calm inflammation, reduce stress, and support your skin’s natural healing. Many clients have found lasting comfort and feel better overall.
What Exactly Is Eczema?
Eczema (pronounced eg-zuh-MUH) is a common inflammatory skin condition that causes dryness, redness, itchiness, and irritation. It’s not contagious, but it can absolutely affect your confidence and comfort.
According to the National Eczema Association, flare-ups often happen when your immune system overreacts to things like stress, allergens, or temperature changes. That overreaction leads to inflammation, making your skin itchy, dry, and sensitive.
Most creams soothe the surface but don’t always address deeper inflammation, so relief may not last.
While everyone’s triggers differ, supporting your body’s ability to repair and calm itself naturally can make all the difference. At Body Lab Studio, our treatments work below the skin to help your body restore balance and promote lasting skin healing.
1. Wellness Pods: Relaxation That Heals More Than You Think
Picture yourself in a warm, soothing space with gentle heat, light vibration, and calming aromatherapy. A Wellness Pod session is deeply relaxing and can also help your body heal.
How It Works
Inside the pod, far infrared heat gently warms your body, which improves circulation and helps your system flush out toxins. The gentle vibration massage eases tension and boosts endorphins, while aromatherapy helps you feel calm right away.
Why It Helps with Eczema
When your body relaxes, your skin can relax as well. Since stress is a major eczema trigger, giving your nervous system a break often helps your skin recover. This process helps your skin repair and restore balance from the inside.
2. POLY Red Light Therapy: Healing Skin from the Inside Out
Inflammation is a key factor in eczema, and POLY Red Light Therapy is designed to help reduce it. This gentle, medical-grade LED light treatment reaches below the skin’s surface to support healing at the cellular level.
What It Does
Red light therapy helps to:
• Calm redness and irritation
• Boost collagen and elastin production
• Support healthy cell regeneration
• Strengthen your skin barrier and texture
This treatment is non-invasive, painless, and safe for sensitive skin. It encourages your skin cells to repair and function as well as they can.
Why Clients Love It
Most people find the treatment deeply soothing. After a few regular sessions, clients often notice smoother skin, less redness, and fewer flare-ups.
The American Academy of Dermatology emphasizes how important it is to reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier to manage eczema effectively, and that’s exactly what red light therapy helps your body do naturally.
“I stopped waking up scratching my arms. The red patches softened, and for the first time in months, I could just relax.” -Body Lab Client
These methods work even better together. Many clients begin with a calming Wellness Pod session and follow it with POLY Red Light Therapy or gentle infrared movement to extend the relief.
3. Infrared Fitness: Move, Sweat, and Glow Gently
If traditional workouts tend to make your eczema worse because of heat, friction, and sweat, you’re not alone. That’s why we offer Infrared Fitness Sessions, a gentler, skin-friendly way to move your body and support circulation without triggering irritation.
What Makes It Different
You walk at your own pace on a treadmill inside an infrared cabin. The gentle heat from the infrared light warms you in a comfortable, detoxifying way. This improves circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, and helps your skin stay calm while you move.
The Benefits
• Better circulation = improved nutrient delivery to your skin
• Reduced puffiness and inflammation
• Gentle detox through sweat without overheating
• Natural energy and mood boost
This type of movement feels more like self-care than exercise. It allows your skin to look healthy and feel refreshed.
What Usually Doesn’t Work (and Why)
Instead of chasing quick fixes, Body Lab’s philosophy centers on consistency, because your skin’s best results come from balance, not intensity.
Many eczema treatments do not provide lasting relief. Here are a few things to watch out for:
• Harsh steroid creams: They can calm flare-ups, but frequent use can thin your skin.
• Heavy oils and thick lotions: These might trap heat and worsen irritation for some people.
• Miracle cures online: If it claims to heal eczema overnight, it’s likely too good to be true.
The Cleveland Clinic explains that eczema is a chronic condition that tends to come and go. That’s why gentle, consistent care works better than aggressive treatments or short-term solutions.
Here in Myrtle Beach, we’ve seen clients from every walk of life find relief through calm, consistent care. At Body Lab Studio, we bring advanced wellness tools together under one relaxing roof.
Our Approach: Whole-Body Healing, Not Surface-Level Fixes
At Body Lab Studio, we don’t just treat eczema as a skin issue. We see it as a full-body imbalance that needs support and understanding. Our therapies are designed to calm your nervous system, detoxify naturally, and help your skin thrive again.
Many clients have found relief they did not expect, with less redness, fewer flare-ups, and greater comfort and confidence. While we cannot promise a cure, we do offer a place where your body and mind receive gentle care.
The Bottom Line
Eczema relief involves more than just topical treatments. Caring for your whole self by reducing stress, improving circulation, and supporting healing can help your skin respond in a lasting way.
If your skin has been asking for a break, this is your sign to listen. Come experience the difference that calm, consistent care can make.
Book your introductory session today and give your skin the care it truly deserves.
