- Detoxification Support. Infrared heat encourages a deep, comfortable sweat that supports the body's natural detoxification processes.
How Does Red Light & Infrared Therapy / Sauna Work?
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular energy production in the mitochondria. This process supports tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and encourages collagen production. Infrared sauna therapy uses far-infrared wavelengths to generate gentle, penetrating heat that warms the body from within rather than heating the surrounding air. The result is a deep, comfortable sweat that supports circulation, detoxification, muscle relaxation, and stress relief. At Med Spa SLO, these therapies can be experienced individually or combined as part of a broader wellness plan.
Your experience at Med Spa SLO begins with a personalized consultation so we can understand your wellness goals and recommend the right approach for you. Red light therapy sessions involve relaxing under panels that emit targeted wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, which penetrate the skin to stimulate cellular energy production without generating uncomfortable heat. Infrared sauna sessions take place in a comfortable sauna that uses far-infrared wavelengths to warm your body gently from within, promoting a deep sweat at a lower and more comfortable temperature than a traditional sauna. Sessions can be enjoyed on their own or combined with other Med Spa SLO services as part of a broader wellness plan.
