While wet saunas rely on moisture to transmit heat to the user’s body surface, infrared saunas utilize panels to direct heat deep into the tissue.
Here’s a comparison between wet saunas and infrared saunas:
Wet Saunas:
– Utilize moisture to transmit heat.
– Users typically wear minimal clothing to maximize heat absorption.
– Heat primarily affects the surface of the skin.
Infrared Saunas:
– Use panels to direct heat deep into the tissue.
– Infrared beams penetrate deeply, even when users are wearing clothes.
– Heat penetrates beyond the surface, offering a more comprehensive therapeutic experience.
The penetrative ability of infrared saunas allows for a more effective and comfortable experience, as users can benefit from the therapeutic effects of heat without the need to undress.
