Manage episode 481412195 series 3629306
Infrared saunas are all the rage right now. But what happens when rosacea-prone skin meets all that warmth? In this episode, dermatologist Dr Stefanie pulls back the curtain on infrared therapy. She explains, in plain language, how invisible infrared energy differs from everyday UV rays, why we register it as heat, and how that temperature rise can set off the flushing cycle common in rosacea.
You’ll learn why far-infrared saunas heat you from the inside out, and how to weigh the promised benefits against the very real risk of a flare. By the end, you’ll have a straightforward framework for judging any heat-based treatment—no advanced physics required.
