dayspamagazine.com | JULY 2014 25 The color gray has been making a comeback in recent years, both on the runway and in home design, and many in the spa world have taken notice, updating their treatment room design to include the popular hue. In response to demand, the Comphy Company (comphy.com), manufacturer of durable microfi ber sheets and linens for spa, lodging and wellness professionals, recently added a new line of gray sheets and linens to its repertoire. "We've received multiple requests from our top clients for the color gray," confi rms Mia Richardson, Comphy CEO and founder. "We knew there would be some challenges in arriving at just that right shade, but after months of research and development we were able to perfect the shade and feel," she adds. As with all Comphy sheets, the gray versions are hypoallergenic, breathable and wick away moisture and, proving that they're "green" as well as gray, the bedding sets are 100% recyclable and fast-drying, and require no ironing. LED-ING BY EXAMPLE The benefi ts of LED light therapy are well documented, and spa professionals are increasingly turning to this non-invasive, non-toxic method to treat acne and common skincare issues related to aging, as well as potentially debilitating physical conditions such as acne, poor circulation, arthritis and muscle tissue tension. However, fi nding an LED device that's as versatile as its technology will allow is tricky. One innovative option that you might consider adding to your spa arsenal comes from BioPhotas, whose Celluma device is an FDA- cleared, hands-free, portable, lightweight and fl exible LED light panel that doesn't require monitoring during sessions. LED treatments can be an upsell or add-on to existing services. "The Celluma LED panel is a versatile, 3-in-1 practice enhancing device," explains Denise Ryan, director of clinical sales, BioPhotas. "With settings for acne, antiaging and pain, it can boost revenue generation by increasing service-menu offerings. Without incurring additional overhead, staff or major fi nancial investment, Celluma may be used as a powerful stand- alone modality or as an adjunctive treatment following most spa services," Ryan adds.
