FeatureCama de terapia de luz vermelhaInfrared Sauna
Light TypeVisible red (630–700nm) & infravermelho próximo (NIR, 800–900nm)Far-infrared (FIR, 3000nm–1mm)
MechanismFotobiomodulação (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
