{"title":"Near Infrared Saunas","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNear infrared saunas use the short end of the infrared range, the same near infrared light tied to red light therapy for the skin and recovery. Near infrared is usually delivered by LED panels and most often appears inside a full spectrum sauna that also includes mid and far infrared. These cabins combine light with infrared heat in one session. Browse our near infrared and full spectrum saunas above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is a near infrared sauna?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA near infrared sauna is an infrared sauna that emits near infrared light, the shortest infrared wavelength. Unlike far infrared heat that penetrates deeply to warm the body, near infrared works closer to the surface of the skin, which is why it is studied for skin health, collagen, and rejuvenation alongside recovery. Many cabins pair near infrared LED panels with far infrared heaters so you get light and heat together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNear infrared, far infrared, and full spectrum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfrared splits into three bands. Near infrared sits at the short end, mid infrared is between, and far infrared light delivers the deep warmth most saunas are known for. A full spectrum sauna blends all three, so a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/full-spectrum-infrared-saunas\"\u003efull spectrum cabin\u003c\/a\u003e is usually the way to get near infrared, while a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/far-infrared-saunas\"\u003efar infrared sauna\u003c\/a\u003e focuses on deep heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNear infrared and red light therapy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNear infrared overlaps with red light therapy, sometimes called photobiomodulation, which uses red light around 660 nanometers and near infrared around 850 nanometers. People use it for skin health, collagen, muscle recovery, and pain relief. This differs from chromotherapy, which is colored mood lighting.
