How Infrared Therapy Supports Recovery and Skin Health
You’ve probably heard the term “infrared” thrown around at fancy spas or wellness clinics—but what does it actually do? And why are we obsessed with it at The Body Roll Studio?
Infrared therapy isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a science-backed way to help your body recover faster, feel better, and look glowier (yes, that’s a word now). Whether you’re rolling with us or trying the infrared sauna bag, here’s why it works—and why your body will thank you.
What is Infrared Therapy?
Infrared therapy uses infrared light waves to gently heat the body from the inside out. Unlike traditional heat (which just warms the surface of the skin), infrared light penetrates deep into your muscles, tissues, and cells.
There are different wavelengths of infrared (near, mid, and far), and each has slightly different benefits—but together, they:
Increase blood flow
Stimulate cell regeneration
Support detox through sweating
Help reduce inflammation and muscle fatigue
The result? You feel relaxed, recharged, and visibly refreshed.
Benefits of Infrared Therapy for Recovery
🏋️♀️ Faster Muscle Recovery
Infrared light helps boost circulation and oxygen delivery to tired or sore muscles. This can:
Speed up recovery post-workout
Ease aches and stiffness
Help with injury prevention or healing
⚡ Reduced Inflammation
Infrared has been shown to help reduce inflammation at a cellular level. Great for chronic pain, joint issues, or just feeling “off.”
🌧️ Detoxification
Infrared heat makes you sweat from the inside out. This helps your body naturally eliminate toxins and support your lymphatic system. Pair it with body rolling = next-level results.
Benefits for Skin Health + Glow
🌟 Boosted Collagen ProductionInfrared (and red light) helps stimulate fibroblasts—the cells responsible for collagen and elastin. That means:
Smoother skin
Better elasticity
Fewer fine lines over time
🫀 Improved Circulation = Glow Mode Activated
With more blood flow to the skin’s surface, your complexion gets that lit-from-within look. Perfect pre-event, post-flight, or when your skin feels blah.
