What is the difference between a red light therapy bed and an infrared sauna?

目次

While both赤色光療法 (RLT) beds そしてinfrared saunas use light for health benefits, they work in fundamentally different ways. Below is a detailed comparison to help you choose the best option for your needs.


1. テクノロジー & How They Work

特徴レッドライトセラピーベッドInfrared Sauna
ライトタイプVisible red (630–700nm) & near-infrared (nir, 800–900nm)Far-infrared (FIR, 3000nm–1mm)
機構Photobiomodulation (PBM) – Stimulates mitochondria to boost cellular energy (ATP)Heat therapy – Penetrates deep into tissues to raise core body temperature
HeatNo heat – Feels cool or slightly warmProduces heat – Can reach 120–150°F (49–65°C)
Session FeelRelaxing, like lying under LED lightsIntense sweating, similar to a traditional sauna

Key Takeaway:

  • RLT beds = Light-based cellular repair (no heat).
  • Infrared saunas = Deep-heat detox & relaxation.

2. Primary Benefits Compared

BenefitレッドライトセラピーベッドInfrared Sauna
Skin Health✔️ Boosts collagen, reduces wrinkles, treats acne✔️ May improve circulation but less direct skin repair
痛みの緩和✔️ Reduces inflammation, speeds muscle recovery✔️ Eases deep muscle/joint pain via heat
Detoxification❌ Minimal detox effect✔️ Promotes heavy sweating (removes toxins)
減量❌ Minor fat reduction (via cellular activity)✔️ Burns calories through heat-induced sweating
リラクゼーション & Stress✔️ Mild calming effect✔️ Strong stress relief (heat-induced endorphins)
髪の成長✔️ Stimulates follicles❌ No proven benefit

Best for Detox & Deep Relaxation? Infrared Sauna


3. Session Experience & Duration

FactorレッドライトセラピーベッドInfrared Sauna
Session Time10–20 minutes20–45 minutes
Comfort LevelNo sweating, can wear clothesIntense sweating, usually done in minimal clothing
Post-Session FeelEnergized (similar to sunlight exposure)Deeply relaxed, sometimes fatigued

RLT Bed: Quick, no-prep, can be used daily.
Infrared Sauna: Requires hydration, cooling down afterward.


4. 安全性 & Side Effects

Risk of Overheating❌ None (no heat)✔️ Possible dehydration or overheating
Eye Protection✔️ Goggles recommended (bright light)❌ Not needed
Who Should Avoid?Active cancer

5. Cost & Accessibility

FactorレッドライトセラピーベッドInfrared Sauna
At-Home Cost$1,500–$5,000+ (full-body panels)$1,000–$6,000+ (portable/cabin models)
Professional Sessions$25–$100 per session (spas/clinics)$30–$80 per session (wellness centers)
Maintenanceなし (LEDs last ~50,000 hours)Occasional bulb/panel replacement

RLT = Higher upfront cost, lower long-term upkeep.
Sauna = Cheaper entry-level options but needs space & ventilation.


Which One Should You Choose?

Pick a Red Light Therapy Bed If You Want:

  • アンチエイジング, ニキビ, or scar treatment
  • Muscle recovery without sweating
  • Hair regrowth
  • A quick, non-heat therapy

Pick an Infrared Sauna If You Want:
