Radiant Recovery: How Infrared Body Treatments Support Postpartum Healing & Mommy Makeovers

Because your glow-up deserves to feel as good as it looks—without surgery, stress, or shame.

Motherhood is powerful. So is your body. But between sleepless nights, hormonal shifts, and the emotional weight of becoming “mom,” many women are left wondering, Will I ever feel like myself again?

At Lux Aesthetics in Indianapolis, we believe in celebrating the postpartum journey—while supporting your healing from the inside out. Whether you’ve just given birth or are years into motherhood, infrared body therapy is a gentle, effective way to feel lighter, tighter, and more connected to your body again.


What Is Infrared Therapy?

Infrared body treatments use safe, invisible light wavelengths to deeply warm the body, triggering natural healing responses. It’s like a gentle sweat session—without heat lamps or saunas—that works from within to:

  • Boost circulation
  • Detox the lymphatic system
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Relieve pain and tension
  • Stimulate collagen
  • Support metabolism and fat breakdown

For postpartum women, this can mean everything from faster healing and less swelling to emotional relief and body confidence.


Why Infrared for Postpartum Healing?

Postpartum isn’t just the six weeks after birth—it’s a long-term recovery process. Whether you’re a brand-new mom or years into motherhood, infrared supports:

🌿 Gentle Detox & Bloat Relief

Infrared encourages sweating and lymphatic drainage to help flush out excess water, trapped fluids, and waste your body holds onto post-birth.

🩸 Increased Circulation for Healing

Enhanced blood flow helps heal scar tissue (including from C-sections), reduces inflammation, and delivers nutrients where your body needs them most.

💆‍♀️ Muscle & Joint Pain Relief

Carrying a baby (inside or outside!) can lead to lower back pain, sore shoulders, and pelvic tension. Infrared wraps help soothe sore muscles and joints gently.

🧠 Mental Reset & Hormonal Support

Infrared therapy is deeply relaxing. It helps lower cortisol, supports serotonin production, and can ease anxiety or emotional overwhelm—without medication.

💖 Self-Care That Doesn’t Take Hours

In just 45 minutes, you can feel lighter, looser, and more refreshed. And yes—you can nap during the session!


Mommy Makeover, The Non-Invasive Way

Many moms explore “mommy makeovers” to tighten their waistline, reduce sagging, or feel good in their skin again—but not everyone wants (or can afford) surgery.

Infrared therapy offers a natural, non-surgical alternative that supports:

  • Inch loss in the belly, hips, thighs, or arms
  • Firming and toning with collagen stimulation
  • Detoxification to clear hormonal congestion
  • Smoother skin texture post-birth

Paired with facials, peels, or body sculpting services at Lux, it’s a beautiful way to invest in your body without cutting it open.
