What is infratherapy?
As a wellness and beauty professional, you’ve heard of it, but don’t know exactly what infratherapy is? It’s a method of heat therapy practiced in a Japanese sauna, using long infrared radiation to create a sensation of warmth.
A true revolution in well-being, health and aesthetics, infratherapy originated in Japan, initially in a medical context, before opening up to the general public. The technique is simple: once your client is installed on the massage bed, the cylinder closes, then, once the device is started, the client benefits from infrared rays over the whole body.
The temperature will rise, making you sweat. This is the aim of the session: to make you sweat in order to release toxins. The session usually lasts just over half an hour, and is neither dangerous nor painful. The heat produced by infratherapy may be reminiscent of a conventional sauna, but the Japanese sauna process is completely different: in this case, only the body heats up, not the room, and the type of heat also differs. At the end of the session, patients should wait a few hours before showering, to prolong the activating effect of infratherapy.
There are no particular contraindications, apart from a ban on use by pregnant women or people suffering from high blood pressure. Once the Japanese sauna has been installed in your institute or spa, you can offer sessions or cures of several sessions.

benefits of
infratherapy
The first effect is the sensation of well-being that a session brings: the heat plunges the patient into a state of relaxation. Ideal for people suffering from stress or insomnia, infratherapy can be a valuable aid in everyday life.
As with a deep massage, infratherapy helps increase blood circulation to eliminate toxins. Relaxation and detoxification are just some of the benefits of a Japanese sauna session. The beauty of the skin can also be enhanced, thanks to the elimination of excess sebum and the regeneration of tissues.
Physical recovery can also be greatly enhanced. This type of technique, particularly popular with sports enthusiasts, can help relieve muscle aches and pains.
However, the best-known benefit of infratherapy remains the weight-loss effect. Excessive sweating has a real effect on the body and cellulite. Simpler and less painful than a lymphatic massage, the principle of the Japanese sauna is present to offer the same kind of results on the body.
