Yes, there are health risks for one using an infrared light regularly. Short-term exposure can cause burns to the skin. Longtime exposure can cause a risk of developing skin cancer (melanoma), squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.

What are the differences between far infrared and near infrared saunas, and how do these differences impact their effectiveness in providing health benefits?

Far infrared saunas emit longer wavelengths of infrared light, penetrating deeper into the body compared to near infrared saunas which emit shorter wavelengths. This deeper penetration may result in more efficient detoxification and increased circulation, potentially enhancing the health benefits of far infrared saunas.
