No. Even within the term “infrared” light, there is nuance: there is far, mid, and near-infrared.  Essentially, far infrared is what is normally used in infrared saunas. The key purpose is to heat up the body’s core temperature and get a sweat going. Near-infrared and red are the wavelengths that have been studied for mitochondrial health and the associated benefits with skin, collagen production, pain, and inflammation relief.
