The benefits of sun simulators

Our sun simulators provide more than just wonderful warmth on our skin – they give us more energy, increase our vitamin D production, and reduce the symptoms of both physical and mental ailments. Sunwell’s sun simulators combine the best of two worlds – allowing us to experience the sun and warmth, while also avoiding harmful UV radiation.

With light up to 30.000 lux, infrared heat and controlled UV, our sun simulators offer only positive health effects.

Benefits Sunwell

Alleviates seasonal affective disorder (SAD)

It is no secret that many people get tired and depressed by the darkness and cold, of which there is no shortage in Sweden in the autumn and winter. One of the best-known applications of light therapy is in the treatment of SAD.  

During the winter months, as our exposure to natural sunlight falls, the risk of developing SAD increases. It is here that light therapy can be useful. Exposure to light at the intensity and specific wavelengths Sunwell’s systems are set to can provide light therapy that relieves the symptoms of SAD and improves mood.

Sleep cycle regulation

Our bodies contain a hormone called melatonin, which regulates our sleep. For those suffering from sleep disorders such as insomnia, light therapy has proven to be an effective means of mitigating the issue.

Light therapy can help reset our circadian rhythm and improve sleep by stimulating melatonin production. Sleep is key to our bodies when it comes to rejuvenation and recovery, and Sunwell sun simulators can help those with sleep problems achieve a healthier sleep cycle.

One hour using a Sunwell sun simulator is equivalent to approximately 20 minutes outside in the middle of the day in sunny weather in June or July.

Treatment of skin conditions

Light therapy is an effective and successful tool for treating various skin conditions and joint problems. Specific light wavelengths can help reduce inflammation, improve skin condition and promote healing, without the risk of the side effects some medicines have.

Sunwell’s sun simulators are often used for medical purposes and are a great tool for those with skin complaints.

Some examples of skin conditions that may benefit from light therapy:

Reduced tiredness and increased alertness

Light therapy increases serotonin production – a hormone linked to mood regulation and the feeling of wellness. With the help of sunlight we can increase serotonin levels, which can lead to improved mood, reduced low mood and increased energy levels. The biological reaction to light is alertness, and when we stimulate this reaction with Sunwell’s sun simulators, it leads to increased feelings of alertness.

Increased vitamin D production

Sunlight is a key source of vitamin D, which is necessary for immune defence and general health. In areas where sunlight is limited in the winter, light therapy can be an effective way to meet the body’s vitamin D needs. 

An hour using a Sunwell sun simulator is equivalent to approximately 20 minutes outdoors in the height of summer. Regular use of our sun simulators stimulates the production of vitamin D, even during the darker times of year when the lack of sun and vitamin D are most noticeable.

Effects of light on the body

It will probably not come as any surprise that light is an important factor in many biological processes within the human body. Light therapy and specific light wavelengths can impact hormones and chemicals in the body, including melatonin and serotonin, which in turn can impact our sleep, mood and well-being.

Light therapy is a multifaceted treatment method that can be used for a range of medical conditions, but primarily to improve general health and well-being through exposure to specific light sources with defined wavelengths and intensities. Sunwell’s sun simulators feature controlled low levels of UV, light of up to 30 lux, and shortwave and longwave infrared light for a variety of positive health effects.
