Infrared vs Traditional Sauna: What’s the Difference?

Infrared vs Traditional Sauna: What’s the Difference?

Traditional saunas heat the air around you, raising your core temperature through high ambient heat—usually 70–90°C. It’s a more intense, full-body sweat that feels deeply purifying.

Infrared saunas use light waves to gently heat your body directly at lower temperatures (40–65°C), offering a more gradual sweat with less heat stress—ideal for longer sessions or heat-sensitive users.

Both support detox, circulation, and relaxation—your choice depends on how you want to feel: deep, immersive heat or a gentler, targeted experience.
