People are increasingly taking their health and wellness seriously. With this, a rising trend that we’re currently seeing is ‘Longevity’. Essentially, this means that people are ultimately wanting to live healthier for longer.
In Extreme Biohacking: Pushing the Human Body and Mind to the Limits, Dr Chen sums it up perfectly and says “It’s not just about extending the number of years; it’s about enhancing the quality of those years. Longevity should be viewed as a holistic pursuit that encompasses physical health, mental well-being, and a sense of purpose.”
Biohacking
You might be familiar with the phrase ‘biohacking’. This is where individuals, commonly referred to as a ‘biohacker’, positively influence their body and mind to live in the best possible way.
A biohacker is someone who tries to reprogram their mind and body, controlling the surrounding environment and changing their lifestyle. The ultimate goal of a biohacker is to achieve long-lasting wellbeing.
Biohackers are often trying out new tools, technologies, life habits and implementing techniques based on scientific studies and self-analysis.
From biohacking, Starpool has created the concept of the ‘Longevity Spa’. At Starpool, they ‘revolve around health as our primary focus, with an aim to bring the development of body and mind to their maximum potential.’
The Longevity Spa was developed with the goal of promoting a lifestyle focused on a more authentic inner beauty and more conscious approach to the passing time. The aim is to help those who are looking to achieve a healthier and longer life.
The Longevity Spa consists of a number of wellness technologies to allow the individual to achieve the ultimate sense of longevity. Among the different available techniques, it also includes controlled exposure to cold, which is implemented through Zerobody Cryo. This is an innovative solution for cryotherapy. Photobiomodulation is another technology that can be applied in this context. As well as Infrared technology, which promotes blood circulation and muscle relaxation.
Let’s take a look at each of these concepts in more detail.
What is longevity?
It seems now more than ever people are prioritising both their physical health and mental wellbeing.
Whether this is in the health and beauty industry such as spas, fitness or recovery industries including gyms, or corporate workplaces. Wellness plays a huge part in each industry.
Global Roadmap for Healthy Longevity defines longevity as “In healthy longevity, years of good health approach the biological life span, with physical, cognitive, and social functioning that enables well-being.”
Essentially, people want to live a longer and healthier life. From this, the concept of the Longevity Spa has been created.

Starpool are leaders in creating innovative wellness solutions that work. They have spent years conducting scientific research into health, wellness and self-care products that are actually effective.
“Stress management, sleep, performance and longevity: these are the global health issues where our Wellness solutions can have the greatest impact.” Starpool.
The Longevity spa is targeted to a number of industries who benefit from consumer wellbeing. For example, hotels, spas and beauty salons are implementing longevity products which include the Zerobody Dry Float, Zerobody Cryo and Photobiomodulation to improve the wellbeing of customers.
Dry flotation
Dry flotation works as a zero gravity flotation bed, offering multiple benefits for health and wellbeing.
This works in a very similar way to Wet Float therapy, yet with the added benefit of resting on a membrane without the need to get undressed or wet. This allows people to experience the same well-being effects of flotation therapy, but with more ease.
Zerobody Dry Float is a one-of-a-kind dry float therapy system that offers the benefits of reduced gravity. This zero gravity float spa is a technological innovation for our wellbeing that produces a positive impact on a number of things including stress, muscle and joint pain, sleep, and psycho-physical recovery.
Cryo
Cryotherapy, also known as cold therapy, is a form of wellness treatment used by sports centres, spa and beauty facilities.
Cryotherapy provides a range of benefits including:
- Reduction in inflammation
- Muscle relaxation and pain reduction
- Lowering of stress levels
- Enhanced recovery after work
- Activation of the immune system
The Zerobody Cryo works to provide the same benefits as cryotherapy and as the immersion in icy water while granting an adjustable, gradual, and non-invasive approach to the low temperatures.
It works in a very similar way to Zerobody Dry Flotation therapy. The user, whose body is completely wrapped in a patented membrane and lying comfortably thanks to the dry floatation system, comes into contact with water without getting wet.
Infrared
Infrared therapy is an innovative Wellness technique. Its use of infra-red rays is a technological innovation that promotes blood circulation, helps skin healing, and relaxes muscles.
Infrared saunas are an excellent asset to spas, gyms and beauty centres as it boasts an array of benefits for those looking to enhance health and wellness. From athletes seeking enhanced recovery to individuals looking for stress relief, skin rejuvenation, or relaxation, the broad spectrum of benefits makes infrared therapy a sought-after choice in the health and wellness industry.
Take a look at our infrared products that could enhance your facility and benefit your customers.
Photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation, also known as PBM or PBMT, is an innovative wellness technique that works with the emission of light energy at low frequency.
Photobiomodulation therapy impacts the mechanisms of cellular energy production, and increases localised blood flow. This allows a reduction in inflammation and in post-traumatic edema, reducing pain and increasing the capacity of tissues to repair themselves.
Allowing controlled exposure to low-frequency light rays, it favours cell regeneration, improves sleep quality, and helps to eliminate toxins. This is an excellent addition for any health centre or spa looking to improve customer wellness.
With the increased popularity in biohacking and longevity, health, beauty, spa, fitness and even corporate sectors are making it their priority to give clients access to the best treatments.
