No. Infraredi red light therapy devices do not emit ultraviolet light, which is the type of light responsible for sunburn.

Infraredi devices use visible red and near-infrared wavelengths. The brightness or warmth experienced during a session does not mean that the device is producing UV light.

Use the device according to its instructions and keep the ventilation areas clear. If you experience unexpected discomfort or a skin reaction, stop the session and contact Infraredi support.
