RED LIGHT THERAPY
Red Light Therapy (RLT) uses low wavelength visible red light to target and penetrate skin cells to improve conditions associated with aging such as reducing wrinkles and discoloration, through a process called photobiomodulation. RLT works by enhancing cellular function deep inside your tissues, through stimulation of mitochondria energetics leading to more ATP production. Evidence suggests that this stimulation may aid in wound healing, inflammation, muscle recovery, and skin rejuvenation.

COMPRESSION THERAPY
Compression therapy is a modality that utilizes controlled pressure along your extremities to improve blood flow and lymphatic circulation. The lymphatic system allows the body to properly drain toxins, excess waste and fluids as well as absorb fatty acids and transport fats while aiding in the production of immune cells.
Our suits deliver automated and sequential compression with pressure that can strengthen vein support to promote wound healing. The BallancerPro® system peristaltic (wave like) massage has been shown to enhance enhance blood circulation in the skin, as well as oxygenation and detoxification of deep tissue in the cells.
The BallancerPro® system provides compression ranging between 20-80 mmHg, compared to other mainstream compression garments that typically provide up to 15 mmHg.

IR SAUNA
Heat therapy has long been known to elevate health, reduce stress, and elicit favorable physiological responses. Our Saunas use infrared heat, making the temperature more tolerable and enhancing the therapeutic experience. The use of infrared light provides the additional benefits of phototherapy which absorbs through the skin and stimulates the production of vitamin D and mood-altering hormones to create a relaxing, invigorating experience.
The use of sauna is a powerful tool to extend healthspan and promote anti-aging processes throughout the body. Sauna has been demonstrated to mimic physiological changes associated with exercise, induce production of longevity-related hormones, and heat shock proteins as well as protect against conditions associated with aging such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, and loss of muscle mass. The scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of sauna therapy in extending healthspan and functional longevity is incredibly robust.

COLD IMMERSION
Cold immersion has certainly gained in popularity in recent years with the emergence of outspoken personalities such as Wim Hof and Joe Rogan that have pushed the therapy into the mainstream. However, cold water immersion is an ancient principle practiced by many cultures that elicits a beneficial physiological challenge to various organ systems. Furthermore, Scandinavians have long lauded the benefit of integrated sauna and cold plunging to rid toxins, increase blood flow, recover, and rejuvenate through endorphin release.

CONTRAST THERAPY
Contrast therapy involves the integrated use of hot and cold immersion leading to rapid yet beneficial physiological changes. Significant evidence has demonstrated that contrast therapy is overtly superior to passive recovery or rest following exercise. At Base State, we follow these principles and offer Contrast Therapy in a private setting in rooms containing both infrared sauna and cold-water immersion modalities.
