Red light therapy and infrared sauna: differences and benefits for your business

Although both methods have their strengths, they work differently in the body.

We believe that there is more scientific support for red light therapy, which allows businesses to offer a high quality treatment and thus also charge in a different way.

Red light therapy and infrared sauna both offer valuable benefits, but they do it in different ways.

In this blog post we go over what differentiates them and what might be good to consider if you want to incorporate these treatments into your business, like a spa, gym or clinic.

‍The technology behind red light therapy and infrared sauna

Redhead therapy uses specific wavelengths of light, particularly red light (633-660 nm) and near infrared light (850-940 nm), which are directed at the cells' mitochondria to stimulate energy (ATP) production. This can lead to several positive effects:

• Increased energy at the cellular level: By stimulating the mitochondria, the function of cells improves, which can help with recovery and regeneration.
• Reduced inflammation: Red light therapy can reduce inflammation and promote healing, which is useful for everything from muscle recovery to skin care.
• Skin Care: The red light also stimulates collagen production, which can improve the elasticity and appearance of the skin.

Infrared sauna uses longer wavelengths, usually over 1000 nm, which are primarily absorbed by the body's water molecules and create heat. This gives a different kind of effect:

• In-depth heating: The infrared heat can help increase blood circulation, which can relieve muscle aches and stiffness.
• Detoxification: The heat generated promotes sweating, which can help the body detoxify by clearing out toxins.

Choosing between red light therapy and infrared sauna

Both methods have advantages, but the choice depends on what kind of effect you want to achieve and what is most suitable for your business. Here are some points to consider:

• Purposeful treatment: If you are looking for a technique that goes directly in depth to improve cell function and promote healing, red light therapy may be a good option.
• Wide use: Red light therapy can be used for a variety of treatments, making it versatile and attractive to many different clients.
• Warmth and relaxation: If the goal is to offer a relaxing and detoxifying treatment, where the client can enjoy the effects of heat, an infrared sauna may be the best choice.

At Lyfe Nordic, we have chosen to offer red light therapy because it has a stronger and more therapeutic effect on our bodies and cells, giving real and measurable results.

Today, we offer three different technologies with varying specifications, sizes and intensity levels, enabling us to meet the needs of any type of business, whether it be large companies, smaller operations or start-up concepts.

• Red Light Pod: Sweden's best-selling red light bed, ideal for businesses looking for a reliable and effective red light bed that treats the whole body.
• Red Light Pod Pro: A more powerful variant that offers a significantly shorter treatment time, ideal for those who want to maximize the effectiveness of their treatments and have a lot of customers.
• Red Light Solo: A portable and affordable model, designed for smaller spaces and with the flexibility to be rotated 360 degrees. Perfect to use over a massage bench and makes it particularly suitable for smaller businesses with a limited budget.

These different options allow companies to find a solution in commercial red light therapy that best suits their needs and economic conditions.

For businesses that want to offer advanced, targeted treatments that promote recovery and skin care, red light therapy can be a strong option. At the same time, infrared sauna is an excellent choice for those who focus on relaxation and detoxification. Both methods have their advantages, and the choice should be based on what needs and goals are most important to your clientele.
