Infrared saunas may require longer, more rigorous protocols than Finnish saunas to achieve similar benefits to deliberate heat exposure.

“infrared saunas do work a little bit different they're they're moving molecules in your body and uh heating you up a different way there is evidence coming out of Dr Ashley Mason's Lab at UCSF — who I've been collaborating with showing that a very rigorous infrared sauna protocol it's like a heat bed where your head out and these people are they're they're use it's using infrared um you know heat to into a feverish state so they're getting to like 101.3 Fahrenheit they're getting a fever like so it's it's getting them hot”
