There’s a contradiction most of us have just learned to live with. Sunlight is essential to how our bodies work. It’s how we’re designed to make vitamin D, and it’s tied to more of our biology than most people realize. And yet we’re also told, correctly, to cover up, wear SPF, and stay out of the sun that ages and damages our skin.
So which is it? Do we need the sun, or should we avoid it?
Both. That’s the frustrating part. And it leaves a lot of people quietly deficient without ever knowing it, especially anyone who works indoors, lives somewhere with real winters, or has darker skin that makes vitamin D more slowly. Supplements help, but they don’t fully recreate what sunlight does for the body.
That gap is exactly why we’re excited to introduce our newest addition: Solius.
Not Another Light Panel
Solius isn’t a tanning bed, a red light panel, or one of those SAD lamps. It’s genuinely new, the first FDA-cleared, over-the-counter UVB device, cleared under a product code the FDA created specifically for it because nothing like it existed before.
What makes it different comes down to precision. Sunlight gives you the UVB that triggers vitamin D, but it also gives you UVA, the part that quietly ages your skin over the years. Solius pulls out only the beneficial UVB and leaves the rest behind. Then it reads your individual skin and calculates a dose made for you, no guessing, no burning, no tanning.
Five minutes. Once a week. That’s it.
Why This Resonated With Us
Getting the right amount of UVB from the actual sun is almost impossible to do safely. The window is a few midday hours, exactly when we’re told to stay inside, and the right dose depends on your skin, the season, and where you live. Most people are either getting too little or too much.
Solius takes that uncertainty off the table. A full year of weekly sessions carries about the same UV risk as five minutes of afternoon sun, while giving you the vitamin D benefit of an hour outside. It’s been through human clinical trials, and in FDA-reviewed testing across every skin type, no one experienced an adverse skin reaction.
That’s the standard we hold things to before we bring them into Monarch. Real results, real safety, no overpromising.
Something You Can Actually Measure
Here’s what we love most about it. Vitamin D isn’t abstract, it’s one of the markers we can pull from your bloodwork and watch over time. So when your levels are low, this isn’t a shot in the dark. It’s a precise, five-minute answer to a number we can actually see.
That’s the whole philosophy, really. Know what’s happening in your body, then do something specific about it.
Coming to Monarch
Solius will be available at and at our Miami Beach and Brentwood locations.
We spend a lot of time on the frontier of health here. But some of the most meaningful things you can do are the oldest and simplest. Sunlight is one of them. We’re just glad to finally have a smarter, safer way to give your body what it was always meant to have.
