It aids physical recovery by preparing, soothing and helping to repair muscle tissue.
It helps reduce acne-related inflammation, redness and other blemishes, and aids healing.
It stimulates collagen and elastin production and triggers cell regeneration by penetrating deep into the skin, bringing energy and oxygen to the cells.
It accelerates the tissue repair process.
It stimulates scalp cells for hair growth.
It relieves pain through the heating action of infrared waves.

And to help you understand the benefits of infrared radiation, Fanny, Ellie and Elsa have tested several practices that can boost your daily routine.

The infrared sauna and its detoxifying benefits

Originating in Japan, the distinctive feature of the infrared sauna is its infrared heating system. It's a 100% natural practice with numerous health benefits. When infrared rays come into contact with the skin, atoms and molecules are set in motion. It's this release of energy, which we feel as heat, that enables us to reap all the benefits...

The benefits are numerous! From skin radiance and the immune system, to sleep, stress and the elimination of toxins and fats. And this heat has the gift of soothing us completely... We explain in more detail in this article why the infrared will change your life.

Our Review(s): “A true ritual to treat yourself to—a moment just for you (or for two)—with immediate and visible benefits for a calm mind and radiant skin after several sessions.” - Ellie, Head of Content

Infrared sports

Infrabike at Combray Paris

Lying on your bike at 45/65°C - that's how you can sum up the Infrabike concept at Combray Paris. This form ofphysical exercise under infrared lightmight sound scary, but it's not as painful as it sounds! With your legs in a cabin heated to 45/65°C and lying down to improve your posture, you pedal at the speed and intensity you want, working your abs, thighs, calves and buttocks for 45 minutes. The result: lots of perspiration, up to 2,500 calories burned and a feeling of lightness.

The benefits : the Infrabike stimulates the lymphatic system, flushes out toxins and burns calories (and fat) quickly thanks to heat. It tones muscles, fights cellulite, stimulates collagen synthesis and boosts the immune system.

Our Review(s): “The hardest part of the workout? Placing your feet on the pedals without being able to see very well. What follows are 45 minutes that fly by in a flash! You can definitely feel your body working, but without too much pain; however, our sweat-soaked leggings are proof of the effort.” - Elsa, Editorial Manager

At their studio in the 20th arrondissement, Wrinkles offers LED Light & Glow, a 30-minute Dermalux® LED photobiomodulation treatment that targets fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture and radiance, acne, hyperpigmentation, scars and redness. This aesthetic medicine center brings together experts in the field to offer injections and facial treatments that guarantee expertise and optimum safety.

The benefits : while we are all familiar with the purifying benefits of blue LEDs and the anti-aging benefits of red light, infrared light targets redness and irritation by stimulating tissue repair, helping to reduce hyperpigmentation, brown spots and age spots. The Light & Glow treatment is particularly recommended as a complement to the Peeling treatment,

Our Review(s) “Comfortably settled under the Dermalux® LEDs, the lights warm our faces. We can’t see much of what’s happening, though we can feel the power of the LEDs behind our protective goggles. The 20 minutes fly by, and while it will take several sessions to really see a lasting effect on skin quality, we can already see a much more radiant complexion than when we arrived.” - Elsa, Editorial Manager
