How does the red light therapy work in saunas?

Red light therapy in saunas uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and promote healing. It works by stimulating the mitochondria in your cells, which can help reduce inflammation, pain, and improve skin health. Many saunas, like the Dynamic Saunas Barcelona model, combine this therapy with infrared heat for enhanced benefits. Studies suggest that red light therapy can also improve mood and energy levels, making it a popular choice for those looking to boost their overall wellness. A specific example would be athletes using red light therapy after workouts to reduce muscle soreness. Pro tip: To maximize the benefits, spend at least 20 minutes in the sauna during your red light therapy session. Consider this option if you're sensitive to heat, as the combination of infrared and red light may help with tolerance.
