Using Red Light Therapy in Infrared Saunas – What’s the Benefit?

Infrared saunas are already known for their deep, soothing heat and full-body relaxation. But when you combine them with red light therapy, you take the wellness experience to an entirely new level. At TECKWAVE, our infrared saunas are equipped with integrated red light therapy panels, giving you access to two of the most powerful non-invasive therapies in a single session.

So, what exactly is red light therapy—and how does it work with an infrared sauna to elevate your health and recovery? Let’s break it down.


🔴 What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy (RLT), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (typically 630–850 nm) to penetrate your skin and stimulate your cells.

This light energy interacts with mitochondria—the powerhouse of your cells—helping them produce more energy (ATP). The result? Faster healing, reduced inflammation, and improved cellular performance.


🌡️ How It Works in an Infrared Sauna

Traditional saunas heat the air around you. Infrared saunas, on the other hand, use infrared light to heat your body directly, offering a gentler yet deeper sweat. Now, by adding targeted red and near-infrared light therapy, you’re not just heating the body—you’re activating deep cellular repair while you relax.

In a TECKWAVE infrared sauna, you get both:

  • Far infrared heat to improve circulation, relax muscles, and induce a deep sweat

  • Red light therapy to boost skin health, reduce inflammation, and support recovery

It’s a dual-action experience that amplifies results without adding time or effort.


✅ Key Benefits of Red Light Therapy in Your Sauna

Here’s what you gain when using infrared heat plus red light therapy:

1. Faster Muscle Recovery

Red light reduces muscle fatigue and supports faster repair of microtears, making it ideal after workouts.

2. Reduces Inflammation & Joint Pain

Studies show RLT helps ease chronic inflammation, stiffness, and conditions like arthritis when used consistently.

3. Improved Skin Appearance

Red light therapy stimulates collagen production, which may reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne, and skin redness.

4. Enhanced Circulation

Infrared heat dilates blood vessels while red light enhances cellular oxygen use—together promoting better blood flow.

5. Boosted Energy & Mood

By improving mitochondrial function, red light therapy can help combat fatigue and even improve mood and mental clarity.

🔬 Many users describe feeling both deeply relaxed and mentally alert after a combined infrared + red light session.


🧠 Why Choose a TECKWAVE Infrared Sauna with Red Light Therapy?

At TECKWAVE, our infrared saunas are built for serious results, not just relaxation. When you choose a model with red light therapy, you get:

  • Built-in red & near-infrared light panels for full-body exposure

  • High-efficiency far-infrared heaters for deep muscle heat

  • Luxury wood finishes & ergonomic design

  • Easy installation and UAE-wide support

This is more than a sauna—it’s your personal wellness clinic.


🕒 How Often Should You Use It?

For most people, 3–5 sessions per week, each lasting 15–30 minutes, is ideal. Beginners should start slow and gradually increase both time and frequency based on comfort.

You can use the red light therapy with or without the infrared heat, depending on your goals and tolerance.


Final Thoughts

If you’re investing in an infrared sauna, why not unlock its full potential?

Red light therapy enhances everything you already love about saunas—recovery, relaxation, and long-term wellness. By combining heat and light in one session, you’ll save time, multiply your benefits, and feel better from the inside out.
