Sauna & Red Light Therapy

Infrared Sauna

An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses light to make heat. This type of sauna is sometimes called a far-infrared sauna. "Far" describes where the infrared waves fall on the light spectrum. A regular sauna uses heat to warm the air, which in turn warms your body. An infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air around you. The lamps in infrared saunas focus a penetrating warmth directly on your skin to bring heat-therapy benefits such as improved heart health, soothing sore muscles, pain relief, relaxation, better sleep, and fighting off illness.

Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy is a treatment that may help skin, muscle tissue, and other parts of your body heal. It exposes you to low levels of red or near-infrared light. Infrared light is a type of energy your eyes can’t see, but your body can feel as heat. Red light is similar to infrared, but you can see it. Red light therapy is thought to work by acting on the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria. With more energy, other cells can work more efficiently, such as repairing skin, boosting new cell growth, and enhancing skin rejuvenation. More specifically, specific cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work.
