What is Infrared Anyway?

How is an Infrared Sauna Different from a Traditional Sauna?

Infrared saunas use invisible light waves to heat your body directly—creating a deep, detoxifying sweat at lower temperatures (45°C to 60°C / 113°F to 140°F). In contrast, traditional saunas heat the air around you, requiring much higher temperatures (70°C to 100°C / 158°F to 212°F) to produce a similar sweating effect.

While both promote powerful wellness outcomes, infrared is known for its deeper tissue penetration and comfortably tolerable heat, whereas traditional sauna provides a high-heat, full-body sweat and strong cardiovascular stimulation.

Near, Mid, and Far Infrared Explained

(and why it matters)

NEAR INFRARED (NIR)

  • Shortest wavelength, closest to visible light
  • Penetrates the skin’s surface
  • Best for: Skin rejuvenation, wound healing, collagen production, and cellular repair

MID INFRARED (MIR)

  • Medium wavelength
  • Penetrates deeper into soft tissues and muscles
  • Best for: Pain relief, improved circulation, and muscle recovery

FAR INFRARED (FIR)

  • Longest wavelength, deepest penetration
  • Raises core body temperature to stimulate detoxification
  • Best for: Full-body detox, metabolism support, and deep relaxation

Why It Matters

Full-spectrum infrared saunas combine all three wavelengths—Near, Mid, and Far Infrared—to deliver a complete therapeutic experience that supports:

  • Detoxification
  • Skin health and collagen repair
  • Muscle and joint recovery
  • Weight loss and metabolic boost
  • Stress reduction and nervous system regulation

All of this happens at lower, more accessible temperatures, making it ideal for frequent use and first-time sauna users.
