Rebuilding Collagen at the Cellular Level

Collagen is the unsung hero of youth, the invisible framework that keeps your skin firm, your joints supple, and your body feeling vibrant. It’s what gives your face that healthy, plump radiance and helps your muscles and connective tissues recover after a workout.

But as time passes, that natural scaffolding begins to weaken.

From your mid-20s, collagen production quietly slows by around 1% per year. By your 40s, the signs are harder to ignore, fine lines appear, skin loses elasticity, recovery takes longer, and the body’s once-effortless energy begins to dip.

Why We Lose Collagen, and What Speeds It Up

Collagen loss is one of those quiet processes that happens long before we notice it. In our 20s, skin still feels supple, joints move freely, and recovery comes easily, but beneath the surface, collagen production has already begun to slow. Year by year, that decline gently accelerates, and by our 40s, the signs start to whisper across our reflection: fine lines, looser skin, slower healing, and that subtle dip in everyday vitality.

Of course, ageing plays its part, but it’s not the only culprit. Our modern lifestyles often make collagen’s job harder. Long hours under screens, pollution, UV exposure, stress, and inconsistent sleep all chip away at your body’s natural reserves. Processed foods and dehydration don’t help either.

Even those with active, high-performance routines, runners, yogis, dancers, and gym-goers can unknowingly strain their collagen stores. Intense training, repetitive movement, and oxidative stress demand more from your body’s repair systems than they can sometimes deliver.

Think of it like this: collagen is your body’s scaffolding, flexible, strong, and vital. Over time, that scaffolding weakens under the weight of daily life. But here’s the good news: you can rebuild it.

So, how do you restore what time and lifestyle quietly erode?

Meet the Body Boost Bed, Light That Recharges You from Within

At Soma House, we believe recovery and rejuvenation should be as intentional as your workout. That’s why we offer the Body Boost Bed, our medical-grade red, blue and near-infrared light therapy system designed to stimulate your body’s natural repair mechanisms at a cellular level.

The Body Boost Bed uses wavelengths of light that penetrate deep beneath the skin’s surface, a full red light therapy body experience that rejuvenates you from head to toe. This light energy reaches the mitochondria, the energy centres of your cells , and signals them to produce more ATP (energy).

The result? Cells repair faster, reduce pain and inflammation, and fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen and elastin, switch back on, helping your body heal from the inside out.

In simple terms, it’s like giving your cells a gentle wake-up call, reminding them how to function as they did years ago.

The Benefits of Red Light Therapy with the Body Boost Bed

After just a few sessions in the Body Boost Bed, many Soma House members start to notice subtle yet powerful changes, not just in how they look, but in how they feel.

Smoother, plumper skin with improved skin elasticity and a natural luminosity that no topical treatment can match, a true skin rejuvenation from within. Fine lines begin to soften, tone evens out, and your complexion feels freshly awakened at a cellular level.

Accelerate muscle recovery and reduce soreness, helping your body bounce back after workouts, classes, or long days on your feet. The Body Boost Bed supports blood flow, circulation, and cellular repair, helping your body move and feel with greater ease.

Reduced inflammation and relief from joint pain, easing tension and supporting mobility. It’s a gentle, restorative experience that benefits your whole body, soothing muscles, restoring balance, and supporting mental well-being as much as physical recovery.

A radiant, healthy glow that comes from genuine vitality, the kind that seeps into your energy levels, your mood, and your confidence.

And the best part? It’s completely non-invasive, pain-free, and deeply relaxing.
Simply lie back, close your eyes, and let the light do the work. In just 25minutes, you’ll emerge feeling calmer, lighter, and more restored, as if your entire system has been quietly recharged with renewed cellular energy 

The Science Behind the Body Boost Bed

At first glance, the Body Boost Bed looks like a sleek relaxation pod, but beneath the surface lies one of the most advanced wellness technologies available today.

These beds use medical-grade LED light therapy with red and near-infrared wavelengths to rejuvenate your body. It’s a process rooted in science, known as photobiomodulation, or more simply, light therapy, that energises your cells.

When you lie in the Body Boost Bed, gentle wavelengths of light (typically between 633nm and 850nm) penetrate deep below the skin. Unlike UV rays, which can cause irreparable damage, these wavelengths are completely safe; they energise your cells rather than stress them.

Here’s what happens next:

  • The light reaches your mitochondria, the tiny powerhouses inside each cell.
  • It boosts ATP production, the energy your cells need to repair and regenerate.
  • This triggers your body to increase collagen, reduce inflammation, and increase blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients more efficiently throughout your body.

In other words, the Body Boost Bed helps your body do what it already knows how to do, just better, faster, and deeper.

Originally developed for NASA to promote healing in space, this same light technology is now trusted by dermatologists, physiotherapists, and athletes around the world. And at Soma House, it’s part of a holistic approach to performance, recovery, and radiance.

Every session in the Body Boost Bed is a gentle reset, a few quiet minutes where science meets stillness, and your body begins to restore its natural energy, strength, and glow.

Science Meets Serenity at Soma House

At Soma House, innovation and intention work hand in hand. Every element, from the precision of our technology to the calm of our environment, is designed to help your body recover, restore, and thrive.

Unlike topical treatments that only graze the surface, the Body Boost Bed works from deep within. Each session activates your body’s natural healing intelligence, supporting the repair of skin, muscles, and joints while restoring energy where it’s most needed.
The experience itself is quietly transformative.

As you settle into the soft warmth of the light, tension begins to melt away as your lymphatic system activates, helping the body gently release toxins and restore balance. There’s no noise, no effort, no harshness, just the hum of gentle energy as your body recharges at a cellular level.

Because true vitality isn’t found in quick fixes, it’s cultivated through consistent care, mindful movement, and intentional rest.

Each session in the Body Boost Bed is a reminder of that philosophy:
where science meets serenity, and self-care becomes something beautifully powerful.
