Searching for Infrared Light Therapy near you? Chạm Spa is on Mạc Đĩnh Chi in Tân Định Ward, District 1 — walking distance from Tân Định Market, and minutes from Lê Duẩn and the Notre-Dame Basilica.
Infrared warms tissue directly rather than heating the skin surface, which is the difference between it and a hot towel. That means the warmth reaches deeper and lasts through the massage that follows, without any pressure being applied — which makes it particularly useful on areas too tender to work firmly.
Most guests have it added at their therapist’s suggestion rather than requesting it, usually when something turns out to be tighter or colder than expected. Fifty thousand đồng is a small addition to a treatment, and on the right area it changes what the rest of the session can achieve.

When it is worth adding
- Before deep tissue work on a stubborn area — warmed muscle releases with less force and less soreness afterwards.
- On an area too tender to massage firmly where warmth achieves something pressure cannot.
- Stiff joints particularly in the shoulders, lower back and knees.
- Cold hands and feet or generally poor circulation.
- Old aches that flare in cool, air-conditioned offices which is a common request here.
How it compares to the other add-ons
Infrared is the one to choose if you want warmth without marks — before a beach holiday, a wedding, or anything sleeveless.
What to expect
Comfortable, steady warmth over the area for a portion of your session. No pressure, no product, nothing left on the skin, and nothing visible afterwards. You can carry on with the rest of your treatment immediately.
Tell your therapist if you have reduced sensation in the area, diabetes affecting sensation, a skin condition, or recent sunburn. Heat is not used during pregnancy — Pregnancy Massage is designed to work without it.
