Quick takeaways

  • Infrared saunas offer general health benefits and can be used in conjunction with laser therapy, although there is no direct evidence of targeted healing or regenerative effects.
  • Stem cell patches may help with pain reduction and stimulating regenerative responses, making them a potential alternative when laser therapy is not available or for mild pain.

Deep dives

Infrared saunas and their benefits

Infrared saunas use ceramic infrared emitting panels powered by electricity to emit infrared radiation that warms the body and produces perspiration and sweating. The near far infrared light is absorbed by water and tissues deeper to that, resulting in warming up to a depth of 2-4 centimeters. While traditional saunas transfer heat through hot air and steam, infrared saunas provide a more water-based effect, stimulating metabolism and promoting ions exchange between cell membranes. Although there is no direct evidence of targeted healing or regenerative effects, infrared saunas offer general health benefits and could be used in conjunction with laser therapy.
