Recently we had a customer begin their health and wellness routine at the recently opened Planet Beach Turkey Creek in Tennesse. We are pleased to say she has received amazing results thus far. Don’t believe us, read her testimony for yourself!
“My name is Ruth LeBon and I am 62 years old. My daughter and I met [franchisee] Nina Morgan at an Expo exhibit. That same week we visited Planet Beach. After trying the Dream Wave, I was hooked and signed up for a membership on the spot. I had never done anything without speaking it over with my husband and I prayed I didn’t make a mistake.
In April, I started to go to Planet Beach every spear moment I had! I thank the Lord for such an awesome gift. You see, I suffer with Fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and severe migraines. I also have panic attacks. Due to several life happenings, I was anxious and full of stress. My blood pressure was higher than normal and I also have a heart condition. I was a mess and gaining weigh.
I was about 150 lbss and last May I had my physical. or the first time in years, my blood pressure is 120/70. This is without meds! I have more energy. I’m walking two miles at a time. Oh, did I mention I couldn’t sleep much? If I got three hours without waking, it was a good night. Well, last week I slept a full seven hours straight. This is quite exciting to me. The only headaches I am getting now are those pressure ones due to the weather. I am eating well again and I have the desire to do things. I can go without pain a day or so.
When I started attending the spa, my pain level was an average of 8-10. Now it’s an average of 4. I am a new person! The other day I went to the doctors with my husband for his appointment and the doc did a double take! My countenance was so different. I give the credit to my Heavenly Father for He is my ultimate healer. Oh, I didn’t say the really good part! I’m down to 133 lbs. I feel the best I have in over seven years. I am stress free, depression free and I feel like my old self, again. I thought I would never see that Ruth again. I owe it to this wonderful place the Lord has gifted me with. He has chosen Planet Beach to continue the healing in me.
The choice to sign up for the Planet Beach spa was definitely not a mistake.”

There you have it! Planet Beach is dedicated to helping our customers look and feel their very best! Stop by your neighborhood Planet Beach today to see what kind of dramatic changes you can make to your health and wellness.
Planet Beach is excited to announce the opening of the first Planet Beach automated spa in Cairo, Egypt. Planet Beach Cairo has strategically partnered with Gold’s Gym to ensure a strong and consistent member base.
The unique partnership between Planet Beach and Gold’s Gym is seen to serve both customer bases well. After a strong workout, members can walk over to Planet Beach to get a quick hydration or massage session in before heading out to enjoy their day.
While the spa industry in Egypt is booming, most spas are located in four- or five-star hotels, which makes it very expensive. Planet Beach offers affordable luxury to those wanting to relax and achieve a healthy glow or rejuvenate their skin.
Battoul Shamsi, Spa Director of Planet Beach Cairo, has worked for Planet Beach since 2010, when the first Planet Beach opened in Egypt. Shamsi graduated with a degree in fashion and design; however, she fell in love with the Planet Beach concept and was excited to begin her journey to become a Spa Director and expand the concept in Egypt. “Planet Beach is the only automated spa in Egypt. It is also the only membership based spa,” Shamsi Stated.
Planet Beach Cairo is celebrating their soft opening and plans to be fully operational by the beginning of September. For now, Gold’s Gym members can enjoy complimentary HydroMassage, spray tanning and massage sessions. In September, Planet Beach begins selling memberships to the spa.
“I am so passionate about Planet Beach,” Shamsi went on to say, “I had the opportunity to attend training at the world headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana, for one month before we opening our first spa. It was an amazing learning opportunity and I had so much fun.”
Planet Beach is not finished its expansion in Egypt. An automated spa is slated to open soon in Jeddah.
Planet Beach is giving back to the community with a fundraiser to benefit Annie’s Fight.
Annie Rossignol is a beautiful 7-year-old girl from Mandeville, LA. On September 4, 2012, she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Annie’s Fight was set up to inform all whom are interested in helping support, donate, volunteer or raise money for Rossignol’s expenses. “We are thrilled to be able to make this donation,” said Stephen P. Smith, CEO of Planet Beach. “We hope to raise awareness of Annie’s situation and hopefully, create some momentum so that more people join the fight against Leukemia and Lymphoma.”
Along with Planet Beach, many other businesses and groups are selling bracelets, as well as t-shirts and necklaces to help support Rossignol. Planet Beach Elmwood is one of the south shore businesses selling bracelets. “I wanted to bring awareness to Annie and her battle against Leukemia,” said Jodie Mateu, Planet Beach Elmwood franchisee. “I pray for a cure that will allow Annie, and so many other children like her, a chance to live a normal, healthy and happy life.”
If you are interested in joining Annie’s Fight, please make donations to Capital One Bank, 3480 Emerald Road Mandeville, LA 70471. Checks should be made payable to Antoinette “Annie” Rossignol.
NASA first developed Red Light technology to grow plants in space, then later to treat wounds in space. Today Red Light Therapy is being used throughout the medical field to heal patients, and used in Planet Beach automated spa’s around the world to rejuvenate the skin. NASA continues to do research on using Red Light Therapy to help cancer patients and have stated that the technology does not cause any harm or side effects. Red Light Therapy is safe and pain free; in fact, Planet Beach members come away seeing results and feeling good after just one session.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy is a technology that has both cosmetic and healing effects. The word “healing” is defined as “the natural process by which the body repairs itself.” That is exactly what happens when the body is exposed to Red Light wavelengths.
Red Light in wavelengths between 630-660 nm (nanometers) has the ability to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin, energizing fibroblast cells that make collagen and elastin production. This is how the skin repairs damage and rejuvenates the skin’s overall appearance. The visible benefits from Red Light Therapy such as reduced wrinkles and firmer skin may seem like just a cosmetic enhancement, but it actually is the result of the body healing itself. Red Light Therapy targets and treats the entire face and body because the treatment is done in a full-sized bed similar to a tanning bed. While the Red Light bed may look like a tanning bed, Red Light Therapy is not dangerous because it produces a wavelength way outside of the UV range. Red Light is often referred to as near infrared light, why? Because as demonstrated in the visible light chart, light from 600nm -750nm is near or close to infrared light. Infrared light is outside of the visual light spectrum meaning we cannot see this wavelength of light with the human eye.
What causes skin to age?
Fibroblast cells are found in the dermis layer of the skin and are responsible for fabricating collagen. During sun exposure, stress, and through the normal aging processes, fibroblasts cells slow their collagen production. As aging continues, the quality of collagen is lessened, wrinkling becomes deeper and skin looses its firmness.
What can I expect from Red Light Therapy treatments?
Treatments using red light will improve the appearance of skin tone and texture, control pigmentation spots, helps reduce the appearance of pore size, encourage vibrant, healthier-looking skin, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Anti-aging Red Light Therapy stimulates circulation and repairs the elastin fibers within tissue to help keep skin firmer and tighter. Over time improved oxygenation and detoxification is achieved as the vascular walls of the skins small blood cells are strengthened, followed by improved natural repair and creation of healthy skin. Skin cells grow by 150% to 200% when exposed to Red Light Therapy. Skin texture and moisture level is also improved with this skin healing process.
Do I need to do anything before my sessions?
Simply shower so your skin is clean. You should also remove any makeup. We strongly recommend you pair with pbRenew®, our Planet Beach Red Light Therapy products, as they will accelerate and enhance your results.
How soon do results become noticeable?
Everyone’s results may vary, depending on their age and the condition of their skin. There are a few immediate changes to skin, such as helping the skin appear cleaner, brighter and tighter. Longer-term therapy results in improved appearance of skin tone and texture.
How often should I go?
This should be a commitment. Results will not be achieved in just a few sessions, or going “occasionally”. We strongly recommend 3 to 4 sessions per week for the first 12 weeks. Continuous use accelerates cellular activity and fuels the collagen and elastin process. After your first 12 weeks, we recommend 1-2 sessions per week thereafter.
Does Red Light Therapy treat acne, age spots, and sun damage?
Red Light helps remove the bacteria that causes acne and generates cellular activity that deals with age spots and sun damage. Anti-aging Red Light Therapy brightens skin and reduces the formation of pigmentation marks. Some people have had dramatic reductions in acne and acne scaring. Age spots require longer-term exposure and therapy.
Are Red Light treatments safe?
Red Light Therapy is completely safe. Red Light penetrates the tissue, delivering energy to stimulate a response from the body to heal itself.
How does Red Light Therapy differ from laser treatments?
Lasers use heat and concentrated light to vaporize or remove tissue. Red Light Therapy bed lamps produce no vaporization or burning of tissue, and therefore no inflammation or erythema. Red Light Therapy is one of the few non-invasive tools available that can reverse the appearance of aging skin, such as fine wrinkles and mottled skin tone.
How long do the results last?
Results depend on the length of treatment and the original conditions being treated. Skin rejuvenation is a dynamic process. If maintenance treatments are discontinued, natural expression lines will gradually return over the course of time, at which point re-treatment can be put in place.
