As we step into 2025, the wellness sphere is evolving more than ever before. Everyday wellness enthusiasts are pushing past kale smoothies and morning yoga, and are instead interested in biohacking and longevity practices.
“From tech that tracks your metabolism to red light therapy that could heal your scars faster, there’s so much coming in 2025 that we’re super excited about,” says Scott Chaverri, CEO of Mito Red Light.
The red light therapy expert shared five of the top wellness trends that will shape how we eat, move, and heal in 2025 - and why they’re worth your attention as a spa professional.
1. Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses red and near-infrared light to promote skin rejuvenation, reduce inflammation and boost cellular repair. It’s gaining traction as both an at-home treatment and clinical service.
- Benefits: Known for its anti-aging effects, pain relief, and enhanced blood circulation, new innovations in 2025 are targeting women’s health, including menopause-related applications.
2. Oral Microbiome Products
2025’s spotlight is moving to oral health, with an emphasis on the bacteria that linger in the mouth and their impact on overall wellness. New products will include specialized toothpastes and mouthwashes designed to maintain bacterial balance.
- Benefits: Promotes healthier gums, boosts immunity, and supports gut and brain health by improving the balance of oral bacteria.

3. Fiber in New Forms
Fiber is gaining more attention as brands introduce innovative ways to increase intake, including fiber-enriched sodas, flour alternatives and infused water.
- Benefits: “An increased intake of fiber helps support digestion, improves gut health, and lowers the risk of chronic illnesses,” said Chaverri.
4. Simplified Skin Care
There’s been a shift toward minimalism in beauty, with products featuring natural, science-backed ingredients like jojoba oil, algae extracts and plant-based alternatives to synthetic compounds.
- Benefits: New and old brands are offering effective, environmentally friendly options that can calm irritation, hydrate skin and reduce visible signs of aging.
5. Tech-Driven Health Monitoring
Wearable devices and apps are getting better all the time, becoming able to provide deeper insights into health metrics like metabolism, stress levels and sleep patterns.
- Benefits: This type of monitoring allows users to proactively manage their well-being using real-time data. “Being able to see trends allows you to make healthy adjustments and more informed decisions,” said Chaverri.
“Above all, remember that wellness is personal — what works for someone else might not fit your lifestyle, and that’s okay," said Chaverri. "These trends are tools, not rules. Experiment, stay curious, and look for changes that feel good and sustainable.”
