Why Your Body Will Love the Experience at TONIQ

Infrared saunas have become one of the most talked-about wellness tools and for good reason. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use light wavelengths to warm your body directly, creating a deeper, more therapeutic heat. At TONIQ, our infrared sauna combines near, medium, and far infrared light, offering a full-spectrum experience designed to support recovery, vitality, and long-term health.

But what actually makes infrared so beneficial? The answer lies in how light interacts with your cells.

How Infrared Light Energises Your Cells

Research including findings highlighted in Arnold’s recent article on red and near-infrared light shows that specific wavelengths of light (630–1000 nm) activate a key enzyme inside your mitochondria called cytochrome c oxidase. This essentially “charges” your cells, giving them more energy to repair, regenerate, and function at a higher level.

Think of infrared as a cellular power-up. When your cells have more energy, everything improves: skin, muscles, inflammation levels, recovery, and general wellness.

Backed by Science: What Infrared Light Can Do

Several high-quality studies support the benefits of low-level light therapy:

Skin health & aging:
In a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 87% of participants showed improved skin tone, firmness, and increased collagen density all linked to better mitochondrial function.
Hair and tissue regeneration:
Reviews of FDA-cleared devices found significant improvements in hair density due to activation of hair follicle stem cells.
Muscle recovery & performance:
Systematic reviews show that using red and near-infrared light before training reduces soreness and enhances performance 24 hours later.

These benefits align beautifully with what full-spectrum infrared sauna sessions offer: deep tissue penetration, enhanced circulation, faster recovery, and improved cellular health.

Why Infrared Saunas Feel So Good

A session in a high-quality infrared sauna can support:

Reduced muscle soreness and faster recovery
Improved circulation and detoxification
Deep relaxation and stress reduction
Support for healthy skin and collagen production
A gentle cardiovascular boost without high exertion

Because infrared heats the body directly not the air, you get all these benefits at a more comfortable temperature, making it accessible for more people.

Experience the Benefits at TONIQ

At the TONIQ Recovery Spa, you can experience a full-spectrum infrared sauna featuring near, medium, and far infrared wavelengths the same ranges used in the evidence-backed studies. This helps ensure you receive the most therapeutic, effective dose of light every time.

Whether you’re training hard, managing stress, focusing on healthy aging, or simply craving a moment of calm, an infrared sauna session can be an incredible addition to your wellness routine.
