Infrared light can penetrate deeply into body tissues and pass completely through the body, emerging on the other side. Infrared radiation penetrates body tissue rather than remaining suspended in the surrounding air. Longer, cooler infrared wavelengths penetrate tissue more easily than shorter, hotter wavelengths. Deeper tissue penetration is the proposed mechanism behind the distinct physiological effects of infrared saunas compared to air-heated saunas.
