Infrared light saunas are taking the country by storm. As opposed to steam saunas, infrared saunas can warm your body from inside and out, inducing numerous physiological benefits and providing a deeply relaxing, mentally reinvigorating experience.

But you don’t have to purchase an infrared sauna to benefit from infrared LED light therapy. Next Health Century City has two different infrared LED therapy options available for our clients. Let’s break down these therapy options in detail.

Infrared therapy is effective because of the unique way infrared light works. As opposed to regular heat, like the steam you might experience in a typical sauna, infrared light can penetrate the skin and reach the deeper tissues of the human body in an instant.

When combined with an infrared LED bed or sauna, the resulting therapy is effective, efficient, and noticeable in moments.

Infrared light therapy is becoming more popular around the country, and for a good reason. Plenty of scientific studies have come out showing the physiological benefits of infrared light, including:

• Blood vessel dilation. In warming up your body's tissues and widening its blood vessels, nutrient-rich blood can flow more freely throughout the body, including to the skin and extremities. In other words, it can help with blood flow and blood circulation. By improving blood circulation, it helps deliver nutrients and oxygen to any damaged tissues in the body.

• Detoxifying sweat induction. By raising the body’s core temperature, a deep sweat is induced, purging the skin of toxins and reducing the likelihood of acne outbreaks in the future.
• Muscle regeneration and soreness reduction. Increased heat from infrared light can soothe sore muscles and joints, relieving irritation and discomfort and accelerating regeneration. Gym enthusiasts and athletes may especially find infrared therapy to be enjoyable for this reason.
• Mental improvements. There’s no denying that infrared therapy is mentally soothing to many people, especially when combined with regular meditation and exercise. If you have suffered from a traumatic brain injury, it might be worth trying out infrared therapy.
• Anti-aging properties. Infrared lights have a wavelength that helps with improving the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, texture, and overall skin health. It also helps reduce the appearance of scars and helps promote wound healing. Overall, it can support your skin's complexion.
• Pain relief. Those who deal with joint pain or discomfort can get relief after an infrared therapy session.

Simply put, infrared therapy is a new way to warm your body and experience several positive physiological changes as a result. But you don’t have to purchase an infrared sauna to benefit from this therapy’s effects.

There are a few different types of Infrared therapy, red light therapy being one of them. It goes by a few other names, such as photobiomodulation (PBM), low-level light therapy (LLLT), and soft laser therapy, biostimulation photonic stimulation, and low-power laser therapy (LPLT). There is also blue light therapy that is typically used for acne.

At Next Health Century City, we offer two types of infrared therapy solutions. You can try out one or both depending on your preferences or your experience with infrared therapy already.

Regardless, our wellness specialists and registered nurses will walk you through your options and explain the benefits of both therapies in detail when you sign up for an appointment or contact us today.

Next Health Century City offers infrared light beds for each of our clients. These luxurious beds are designed with over 13,000 high-intensity LEDs that emit red, blue, and infrared light. When you sign up for an infrared light bed appointment, you'll lie down in a bed similar to a tanning bed and let the infrared light do its work.

As the infrared light soaks into your body, the light will activate ATP (the core units of energy found within your cells), boosting vitality and causing you to feel more invigorated. Furthermore, in one of Next Health’s infrared light beds, infrared light exposure will stimulate white blood cells. This will both boost collagen production and help repair damaged tissues.

Perhaps most importantly, the ATP release will trigger endorphins throughout your body via the endocrine system. These “feel good” hormones will stabilize your mood and relieve chronic and acute pain.

Next Health Century City also offers infrared sauna therapy. Similar to spas or a traditional sauna experience, Next Health’s infrared sauna capsules use advanced infrared light tech alongside traditional healing implements, such as jade stones to provide powerful and effective health benefits. Combined, our infrared sauna capsules will induce a detoxifying sweat and provide you with the numerous physical benefits described above.

Our infrared saunas emit infrared light as near, mid, and far-infrared light waves. This full-spectrum infrared light experience will soak into your body's cells and provide a deeply relaxing experience. Additionally, each capsule has you lie down in comfort; you don't have to deal with any of the potential discomforts you may associate with a traditional sauna experience.

Best of all, each infrared sauna capsule is equipped with advanced and personalized controls so you can fine-tune your sauna experience exactly to your needs or preferences. We maintain stations with towels and accessories tools nearby.

Not sure whether you would prefer an infrared LED light bed session or an infrared sauna session? Good news – our experienced wellness professionals at Next Health Century City are well-equipped with all the information you could need about both therapeutic options.

Simply contact us today, and we'll break down your options, available appointed times, and more. We may be able to assist you in choosing one of the two infrared LED therapy types based on your needs, experience with infrared therapy, and more.
