    10 to 15 minutes in the stone or infrared sauna. Drink water before you go in.

What is contrast therapy?

Contrast therapy means alternating heat and cold: time in the sauna, then a short cold plunge, repeated two or three times. At TLC you can do it with either sauna and the outdoor cold plunge tubs.

Is red light therapy safe? Does it hurt?

Red light therapy uses low-level red and near-infrared light. It doesn't burn and isn't painful; most people feel a gentle warmth. Don't stare directly into the panels. If you're pregnant, sensitive to light or on medication that makes you light-sensitive, check with your doctor first.

How much does red light therapy cost at TLC?

There's no separate charge. The red light room is included with Access and Complete memberships and with the ₱2,500 all-access day pass.
