Many people are curious about red light therapy at home and wonder how it can complement a wellness routine. Some are exploring infrared saunas for recovery, while others are researching ways to improve skin health, circulation, and overall relaxation. Red light therapy and infrared heat are two distinct therapies, each offering unique benefits, and when combined in a sauna setting, they create a full-body wellness experience.
Red light therapy and infrared heat can each support recovery, relaxation, and skin vitality. With full-body exposure in the Arki Sauna, users can enjoy these benefits together in a single, comfortable home wellness session.
Understanding Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy delivers light in the clinically recognized therapeutic range of approximately 600–950 nanometers, widely studied for its ability to support circulation, cellular energy, and recovery. Light within this range penetrates the skin and reaches mitochondria, the cell’s energy centers, stimulating ATP production, which is critical for cellular repair and regeneration.
Red light primarily targets skin health, boosting collagen production, evening skin tone, and reducing redness. Near-infrared light penetrates deeper tissues to support muscle recovery, joint health, circulation, and deeper cellular repair. Together, these wavelengths provide benefits that address both surface-level and deep tissue wellness.
Practical tips for beginners:
- Start with short sessions of around 10–15 minutes.
- Wear protective eyewear for comfort during exposure.
- Maintain consistency — benefits build over time.
Separately, infrared heat is another therapy commonly used in saunas. JNH Lifestyles saunas use full-spectrum infrared, which includes near, mid, and far wavelengths, each with distinct effects:
- Near-infrared: supports skin health and boosts cellular energy
- Mid-infrared: relaxes muscles and improves circulation
- Far-infrared: promotes overall warmth and supports detoxification
Infrared therapy and red light therapy are separate treatments, but both can be incorporated into a home wellness routine. The Arki red light therapy sauna offers the unique option to combine these therapies or use each individually.
How Red Light Therapy Saunas Compare to Other Devices
Handheld wands, panels, and blankets provide effective targeted treatment but cannot treat the entire body at once. Standard saunas with a single panel offer slightly larger coverage than a wand or blanket but still focus on specific areas rather than full-body exposure.The Arki sauna addresses this limitation by surrounding the user in 360° medical-grade red light while combining full-spectrum infrared heat, providing a full-body infrared sauna for a recovery experience that maximizes comfort and skin rejuvenation.
What Makes the Arki Sauna Unique
JNH Lifestyles' Arki delivers a full-body wellness experience by combining advanced infrared heat with medical-grade red light therapy. Every surface provides complete coverage, surrounding your body with warmth and restorative light.
Total Surround Full Spectrum Infrared uses far, mid, and near wavelengths that reach the body from every angle. The heat penetrates deeply to relax muscles, ease tension, and support joint health. Circulation improves naturally, enhancing recovery and overall comfort during each session.
The Total Surround Medical-Grade Red Light operates at the cellular level to boost energy, improve skin vitality, and support recovery. Arki uses red and near-infrared light within the clinically recognized therapeutic range of approximately 600–950 nm, which is widely studied for circulation, cellular energy, and recovery. Because the modules are built into the sauna walls for 360° full-body coverage, the light is gentle, evenly distributed, and comfortable. At typical sitting distances, irradiance averages 40–80 mW/cm², depending on user position and cabin reflectivity. While lower per square centimeter than a focused red-light panel, the broader exposure and slightly longer session time (about 10–15 minutes) deliver a comparable total energy dose. Arki can also operate in light-only mode for a non-thermal session, or users can incorporate gentle far-infrared heat (around 110–120°F) to enhance relaxation and circulation.
Arki’s design emphasizes purity, performance, and safety. Its zero VOC construction ensures no harmful gases are emitted, making it suitable for individuals with sensitivities such as asthma. Built-in Safe Therm™ overheat protection and industry-low EMF levels, which can benefit those sensitive to electromagnetic exposure, provide peace of mind, while proprietary DualShield™ & Cera™ systems retain heat efficiently and minimize wasted energy. Together, these features create a seamless, restorative home wellness experience, with light and heat enveloping the body to promote recovery, energy restoration, and overall well-being from head to toe
Recommended Usage & Safety Considerations
To get the most from your red light infrared sauna benefits, focus on both consistency and safety. Most users notice benefits with three to five sessions per week, each lasting around 20 minutes. Individual tolerance can vary, so pay attention to your body and adjust session length accordingly. Beginners may prefer shorter sessions and gradually increase duration over time.
Red Light Therapy Tips:
- Start with shorter sessions (10–15 minutes) and increase gradually.
- Wear protective eyewear for comfort during light exposure.
- Maintain a regular routine to see red light therapy full body benefits.
Infrared Sauna Tips:
- Typical sessions last about 20 minutes.
- Stay hydrated and keep water nearby to maintain comfort and safety.
- Exit the sauna immediately if you feel lightheaded or uncomfortable.
- JNH Lifestyles saunas automatically shut off after 60 minutes for safety.
Arki-Specific Safety Features:

- Industry-low EMF levels provide additional peace of mind.
- Zero VOC construction creates a clean, safe environment, suitable for those with breathing sensitivities.
These guidelines can help you start enjoying red light therapy full body treatment and infrared sauna recovery safely and comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long should you stay in a red light sauna?
Most users find that sessions of 10–20 minutes are effective for full-body red light therapy and infrared heat. Beginners should start with shorter sessions to allow the body to adapt comfortably. Always pay attention to your body’s response, stay hydrated, and exit the sauna if you feel lightheaded or uncomfortable. JNH Lifestyles sauna models have built-in safety features that automatically stop the session after 60 minutes.
Does red light therapy really work for recovery?
Yes. Red light therapy within the clinically recognized therapeutic range of approximately 600–950 nm has been widely studied for supporting circulation, cellular energy, and recovery. Red light primarily benefits skin health, while near-infrared light penetrates deeper tissues to aid muscle recovery, joint health, and overall cellular repair. Regular, consistent sessions are key to seeing noticeable results.
Is it safe to use red light therapy on a daily basis?
Red light therapy is generally safe and non-invasive when used properly. Daily use can be appropriate for many people if session durations are reasonable (10–15 minutes for beginners, up to 20 minutes for typical use). Protective eyewear is recommended for comfort, and anyone who is pregnant or has specific medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional before beginning regular use. Infrared heat should also be monitored carefully to avoid dehydration or overheating.
