Which suits me best: an ozone sauna, a hyperbaric chamber, an infrared sauna or a red light panel?
No single option wins across ozone steam saunas, hyperbaric chambers, infrared saunas and red light panels. Choose by what you want, your budget and your space. Anyone with a medical condition should start with their doctor; if hyperbaric oxygen has been recommended, an ozone sauna is not a substitute.
A useful way to decide is to start from what you want, not the device.
- A medical condition: start with your doctor. Where hyperbaric oxygen has been recommended, it is given in a hospital or specialist clinic (100% oxygen at around 2 ATA). An ozone sauna is not a substitute.
- Light on its own, at home: a red light panel — photobiomodulation, light too weak to heat tissue — is compact and quick to use.
- Dry heat and relaxation: a far infrared sauna or a wooden sauna.
- Steam, sweating, several modalities in one room, or a new spa service: an ozone steam sauna. Our Red Light model adds visible light and near infrared to the same session.
Then apply three filters. Space: our Standard is 1180 × 680 × 1200 mm and rolls on castors; mHBOT chambers are larger and longer. Time: ozone sessions run about 30 minutes against 60 to 90 for hyperbaric. Contraindications: mHBOT is unsuitable with lung disease, ear problems, claustrophobia or barotrauma risk. Ozone saunas have a substantial exclusion list of their own — pregnancy, any heart condition, a pacemaker, thrombosis, platelet disorders, active bleeding, menstruation, active hyperthyroidism, active alcoholism, and timed exclusions after a heart attack, stroke, major surgery or chemotherapy — and ozone must never be inhaled, which is why the head stays outside.
Choose on what you will use, and on the sessions you will realistically complete.
