What Is the Difference Between Traditional Saunas and Infrared Saunas?

When it comes to relaxation, recovery, and wellness, saunas have been a trusted choice for centuries. However, the sauna world has evolved, and today, you’ll find two main types of saunas: traditional and infrared. At Recover, we specialize in providing state-of-the-art infrared saunas designed to elevate your recovery and wellness journey. Let’s explore the key differences between these two popular sauna types and why an infrared sauna might be the perfect fit for you, whether you’re in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or beyond.

Traditional Saunas: The Classic Heat Experience

Traditional saunas, often referred to as Finnish saunas, are the original form of sauna therapy. These saunas use an external heat source, typically a stove or heater, to warm the air within the sauna.

Key Features:

• High Heat Levels: Traditional saunas operate at temperatures between 70°C and 100°C (158°F to 212°F), providing an intense heat experience.

• Steam Options: Pouring water over heated stones generates steam, increasing humidity and enhancing the sensation of heat.

• Air Heating: The entire room is heated, meaning the body feels the warmth through the surrounding air.

Benefits:

• Promotes heavy sweating for detoxification.

• Provides a deeply relaxing, steamy environment.

• Offers a traditional cultural experience tied to centuries of practice.

Infrared Saunas: The Modern Wellness Innovation

Infrared saunas represent a more advanced approach to sauna therapy. Instead of heating the air, these saunas use infrared light to directly heat the body.

Key Features:

 

• Gentler Temperatures: Infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures, typically between 40°C and 60°C (104°F to 140°F), making them more comfortable for prolonged sessions.

• Full-Spectrum Infrared Technology: At Recover, our saunas feature low EMF carbon panels and full-spectrum heaters, delivering far, mid, and near infrared wavelengths for a comprehensive therapeutic experience.

• Targeted Heat: The infrared light penetrates deep into the body, warming muscles and tissues without overly heating the air.

Benefits:

• Enhances blood circulation and promotes muscle recovery.

• Encourages a deep sweat at lower temperatures, aiding detoxification.

• Ideal for individuals sensitive to high heat or those seeking a more comfortable sauna experience.

• Energy-efficient and quick to heat up, making them convenient for home use.

Choosing the Right Sauna for You

While traditional saunas provide a classic and invigorating experience, infrared saunas offer a modern, therapeutic alternative. The choice depends on your preferences, health goals, and lifestyle.

• If you enjoy intense heat and a steamy environment, a traditional sauna might be your go-to.

• If you prefer a gentler, more targeted experience that aligns with recovery and wellness goals, an infrared sauna from Recover is the perfect choice.
