Infrared saunas work using infrared heaters to convert light directly to heat. This heat has the effect of warming nearby objects without raising the air temperature. Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat is often confused with ultraviolet (UV) radiation because both types of energy are present in the sun’s rays. However, FIR does not damage the skin the way UV does while still providing many of the benefits of natural sunlight. With infrared saunas the waves penetrate the body 1.5 inches, giving the bather deep tissue warmth great for sore muscles, stiffness, and joint pain.
