When a sauna is heated by an infrared heat source, it is referred to as an infrared sauna. There are two types of infrared saunas: infrared lamp saunas, which use incandescent infrared heat lamps as the heat source; and far infrared saunas, in which ceramic or metallic heating elements emit far infrared heat.
Health Benefits
Proponents of far infrared saunas claim they provide a multitude of health benefits. While many of these benefits have not been proven, some of the scientifically substantiated claims include quicker recovery from injuries, increased blood circulation, improved blood pressure, improved mood and at least some alleviation of chronic pain.
Using Far Infrared Saunas to Treat Skin Discoloration
Because far infrared saunas increase blood circulation in the skin, you may experience improved skin tone in the form of a rosy glow. There is no hard evidence that far infrared saunas improve acne, however, the perspiration and increased circulation induced by such a sauna are most likely helpful.
Can Far Infrared Saunas Cause Skin Discoloration?
If you emerge from a far infrared sauna with a red face, it is simply a temporary dilation of your skin's blood vessels in response to the heat of the sauna. While infrared heat warms your body in a way that is similar to the way the sun warms you, far infrared rays are different from ultraviolet rays and do not cause sunburn.
