How an Infrared sauna works

An infrared sauna doesn’t heat the air around you – it heats you. Literally.
Unlike a traditional sauna that warms the entire room with a heater and hot stones, an infrared sauna uses heating panels emitting infrared light. This light is invisible to the eye but feels like a gentle, deep warmth that penetrates your skin and warms your body from within, much like the sensation of the sun on your skin. The result? A more intense sauna experience, even at a lower temperature.

Light that warms the skin
Tylö’s infrared saunas use far-infrared light. This form of energy has a longer wavelength and is specially tuned to deliver optimal benefits to the skin and body tissues. The skin absorbs infrared light directly, allowing for quick and efficient warming.

Since the heat doesn’t need to transfer through the air, your body starts to sweat faster. You get the relaxing and health-promoting effects of a sauna session, without the room needing to get uncomfortably hot. The temperature in an infrared sauna usually ranges between 40–60 °C (104–140 °F), making it ideal even for those who find traditional saunas too intense.

Is it safe?
Infrared light is non-ionizing radiation, which means it’s not harmful to the body. Our infrared saunas meet strict safety standards. Tylö’s infrared panels are equipped with a patented conductive shielding layer that keeps electromagnetic radiation (EMR) levels very low, well below regulated limits and lower than most electrical devices you use daily.

For those who want to feel better every day
An infrared sauna is easy to use, energy-efficient, and simple to install. It’s perfect for private homes – but also for spas or hotels where guests are looking for a modern alternative to traditional sauna heat. With Tylö, you get premium quality, decades of experience, and Scandinavian design that fits seamlessly into any space.
