Increasingly popular in the world of wellness, infrared therapy relies on the use of infrared heat to provide a sense of deep relaxation. But how does this technology actually work, and how does it differ from traditional heat?
Learn more about this gentle technology by reading our article.
Infrared therapy uses infrared waves, a form of heat naturally emitted by the sun (without UV rays). Unlike traditional heating systems that warm the air, infrared heat acts directly on the body.
The result: heat that is felt faster, deeper, and is often more comfortable.
In an infrared sauna, panels or emitters diffuse infrared waves that:
-
penetrate the superficial layers of the skin
-
warm the body from the inside out
-
trigger progressive sweating, even at moderate temperatures
This approach explains why the sensation of heat is gentler, while remaining effective.
Infrared therapy is valued for its user comfort:
-
gentle and progressive heat
-
no stuffy air
-
rapid sense of relaxation
-
possibility of longer sessions
It is particularly suitable for people sensitive to high heat or those seeking a more accessible approach to the sauna.
The Different Types of Infrared Waves
Infrared rays are divided into three categories, often complementary in high-end equipment:
- IR-A: short waves, deeper penetration
- IR-B: intermediate waves, balanced heat
- IR-C: long waves, surface heat and an enveloping sensation
The combination of these waves allows for a complete and consistent experience, suitable for a wide audience.
Infrared Therapy and Daily Wellness
Without making excessive promises, infrared therapy is often integrated into a wellness routine to:
- promote relaxation
- support recovery moments
- create a moment of calm and letting go
Its ease of use allows for regular practice at home, with complete simplicity.
Specialized manufacturers like Holl’s integrate infrared therapy into cabins designed for optimal comfort, intuitive use, and a lasting wellness experience. The goal: to offer controlled, pleasant, and accessible heat, without compromising the spirit of the sauna.
