New business in Prince Albert offers healing light and a lasting glow

Jun 23, 2025 | 3:46 PM

Lyndsey McLennan was looking for relief from the arthritis pain she faced every day.

Hoping to avoid a second hip replacement surgery, she turned to red light therapy – a type of phototherapy that uses low levels of red light to trigger blood flow and energize cells, which can have healing properties.

“My doctor told me I would need a hip replacement within two months. It’s now been over a year and I’ve used red light therapy regularly.”

Now, it’s a service she offers to all of her clients at New Glow Tanning Studio in Prince Albert.

“It has so many healing benefits…reduction in swelling, muscle recovery and pain management. It helps with hair loss, hair growth, acne and improves complexion, psoriasis, rosacea and stretch marks,” McLennan said.

The therapy stimulates collagen production, which gives skin its structure, strength and elasticity.

Red Light Therapy has also been known to help with cancer therapy side effects and cognitive disorders like dementia. In one study, five people with dementia who had regular light therapy on their heads and through their noses for 12 weeks had better memories, slept better, and were angry less often.

Charmaine Pauli is a regular customer at New Glow. She was first impressed by the ambience of the studio – a clean and modern big city feel.

“The service is just classy. It’s professional, they’re prompt, it’s clean…they offer you water and robes so I can go from a tanning session to a water massage without having to change.”

Pauli said however, it’s the red light therapy sessions that have been the most intriguing.

“I have osteoporosis and it’s supposed to be good for aches and pains like rheumatoid arthritis and different skin conditions and I forgot that I had an age mark on my leg that I had been going to the dermatologist about for years,” said Pauli. “And I just noticed the other day when I was putting on lotion that it is actually gone.”

“I just feel so much better overall. That’s why they call it ‘New Glow’ because I feel like I’m glowing when I come out there.”

Red Light Skin Rejuvenation has seen a recent surge in popularity. You’ve probably come across videos on social media of people using red light therapy masks. Home devices, however, are usually less powerful than those used in clinics or spas, and may be less effective or take longer to work.

“What we provide is a higher wattage so more red light is penetrated through the skin to help with any issues,” McLennan said.

And unlike ultraviolet (UV ) light, which can cause skin damage, red light therapy doesn’t pose the same risks.

McLennan said all of the services she provides are meant to enhance a person’s well-being. Even when it comes to their tanning beds, every appointment is time managed and clients can only come every 24 hours. They’re also required to wear eye protection and skin protection with tanning lotions.

“You don’t go out into the sunlight without sunscreen, so it’s the same aspect here. You want to protect your skin,” she said.

New Glow Tanning Studio also offers spray tans which become extremely popular during grad and wedding season.

“Spray tans are customizable. They can be light, medium and dark and you can have different colour tones added to the spray tan, so it’s a quick and easy service to get your desired colour,” she said. “We even offer different scents you can try.”

It’s all about feeling good from the outside and the inside. McLennan invites customers to try their hydro massage bed. It uses pressurized jets of warm water to provide a full-body massage without getting wet. You can even keep your clothes on!

“You lay on the bed, and the jets massage your body, allowing you to customize the intensity, pressure, and targeted areas,” McLennan explained.

Whether you’re looking to heal some pain and inflammation, add a natural summer glow to your look, or relax in Prince Albert’s first H2O Ultimate Series Hydro Massage Bed, New Glow Tanning Studio has it all. Stop in today at 125 15th Street East or follow them on Facebook and Instagram for the latest deals. They are open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
