Infrared Sauna & Light Therapy

Which is for you? Maybe both?

We are often asked, which is better, and truth be told, the sauna and light therapy both have unique benefits that not only compliment each other, but are treated very differently.

Infrared Sauna (FAR or Full Spectrum)

How it Works:

• Uses far, mid, and/or near infrared heat to warm the body from the inside out, inducing deep sweating.

• Penetrates up to 1.5 inches into tissues for detoxification and relaxation.

Benefits:

• Detoxification - induces sweating, helping eliminate heavy metals and toxins

• Cardiovascular Health - mimics exercise by increasing heart rate and circulation

• Weight Loss - can burn up to 600 calorie per session by raising core temperature

• Muscle & Joint Pain Relief - reduces inflammation and promotes recovery

• Deep Relaxation & Stress Reduction - helps lower cortisol and improves sleep

Best For:

• Deep detox and sweating

• Pain relief (arthritis, fibromyalgia, muscle recovery)

• Cardiovascular and metabolic health

• Deep relaxation and stress reduction

Red & Near Infrared Light Therapy (RLT/NIR)

How it Works:

• Uses red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light to penetrate cells and enhance mitochondrial function

• Red light (RLT): absorbed by skin, improving collagen production and skin health

• Near-infrared light (NIR): penetrates deeper (up to 2 inches) into muscles, joints, and nerves for healing.

Benefits:

• Skin Health & Anti-Aging - stimulates collagen & elastin, reducing wrinkles and scars

• Cellular Repair & Mitochondrial Boost - increases ATP (energy) production in cells

• Pain Relief & Inflammation Reduction - helps arthritis, joint pain, and nerve damage

• Brain Health & Cognitive Function - may support memory, focus, and neuroprotection

Best For:

• Skin health, anti-aging, and collagen production

• Chronic pain, joint pain, and muscle recovery

• Brain function and mental clarity

• Boosting energy and reducing inflammation

Best Option?

• If you want detox, sweating, stress relief, and cardiovascular benefits 👉🏼 choose an infrared sauna session

• If you want skin health, muscle recovery, and mitochondrial healing 👉🏼 choose red and near infrared therapy

• For maximum benefits, combine both - use sauna for detox and red/NIR therapy for cellular healing

Both infrared sauna and red/NIR light therapy offer significant benefits, but optimal frequency depends on your goals and tolerance.

Infrared Sauna Usage Recommendations

• For Detox & General Wellness: 3-4 times per week (30-45 min per session)

• For Pain Relief & Recovery: 4-7 times per week (20-45 min per session)

• For Weight Loss & Metabolism: 4-5 times per week (30-45 min per session)

• For Cardiovascular Benefits: 3-5 times per week (30-40 min)

🔥Pro Tips:

• Stay hydrated and replenish electrolytes after sweating

• If new to saunas, start with 15-20 min, 2-3 times per week, and gradually increase

• Don’t overdo it - excessive use can lead to dehydration or fatigue

Red & Near Infrared Light Therapy (RLT/NIR) Usage Recommendations

• For Skin & Anti-Aging: 5-7 times per week (10-20 min per area)

• For Muscle Recovery & Pain Relief: 4-7 times per week (10-20 min per area)

• For Brain Function & Mood: 3-5 times per week (10-15 min on forehead/scalp)

• For Inflammation & Healing: 4-7 times per week (10-20 min per area)

💡Pro Tips:

• Use at a distance of 6-12 inches for maximum effectiveness

• More is not always better - overuse can cause diminishing returns

• Use consistently for best results; benefits build over time

Can You Use Both Together?

• ✅Yes!  They complement each other well.

• Example Routine:

• Use Red/NIR Light Therapy first (morning or before sauna)

• Follow with an Infrared Sauna session to enhance detox and circulation

• Rehydrate & replenish electrolytes after sauna use
