Red Light Therapy

Benefits of Combining Red Light Therapy with Far-infrared Sauna

Combining red light therapy (RLT) and a far-infrared sauna (FIR sauna) in a single session can amplify the benefits of both treatments. Using red light therapy immediately before the sauna enhances the overall experience by preparing the body for the heat and providing complementary benefits. Here’s why this combination works well:

Enhanced Detoxification

Prepping the skin and tissues: RLT stimulates cellular activity, opening up the lymphatic system and priming cells to release toxins more effectively.

Sweating amplification: FIR sauna promotes deep sweating, and the cellular activation from RLT can make toxin removal even more efficient.

Improved Circulation and Cellular Function

  • Boosted blood flow: RLT increases blood flow to the skin and tissues, making the body more responsive to the sauna’s heat and circulatory benefits.
  • Mitochondrial support: RLT increases ATP production, energizing cells and improving their response to the sauna’s detoxifying and healing effects.

Enhanced Pain Relief and Recovery

  • Layered effects: RLT reduces inflammation and stimulates repair at a cellular level, while FIR heat penetrates deeper into tissues to soothe muscles and joints. This combination offers a more comprehensive approach to pain relief.
  • Faster muscle recovery: Athletes and active individuals can benefit from the combined ability of RLT to reduce inflammation and the sauna’s ability to flush out lactic acid and improve flexibility.

Maximized Skin Benefits

Collagen production + cleansing
RLT enhances collagen production and skin rejuvenation, while the FIR sauna deep-cleans pores and improves skin elasticity through sweating.
Glow boost
The combination can leave the skin visibly clearer and more radiant.

Immune Support

Two layers of immune activation
RLT primes cells to repair and function better, while the sauna induces a mild artificial fever, boosting the immune response.

Convenience and Time Efficiency

Streamlined wellness
Combining the two therapies in one session allows clients to maximize their wellness goals efficiently, saving time while achieving layered benefits.

Amplified Relaxation and Stress Relief

Red light for mood
RLT stimulates serotonin production, promoting a sense of calm.
Sauna for deeper relaxation
Following RLT with FIR heat further reduces cortisol levels and encourages a meditative state, enhancing overall mental well-being.

Suggested Order and Timing

  • Red Light Therapy First: Start with RLT for about 10–20 minutes to activate cellular processes, reduce inflammation, and prepare the body.
  • Far Infrared Sauna Second: Follow with 20–40 minutes in the FIR sauna to capitalize on the improved blood flow, sweat response, and cellular activation for deeper detox and relaxation.

By pairing RLT with a FIR sauna, clients experience a synergistic effect that enhances both treatments, making this a powerful wellness combination.
