Infrared Sauna Therapy
Relax, rejuvenate, and support your body’s natural detoxification process.
What Is an Infrared Sauna Session?
An infrared sauna uses light energy to warm the body directly — without heating the surrounding air. The heat is created by invisible waves of infrared light, similar to the warming rays of the sun but without harmful UV exposure.
This allows the heat to penetrate deeply into muscles, tissues, and joints, promoting effective detoxification and deep relaxation.
How Infrared Sauna Differs From Traditional Saunas
Unlike conventional dry saunas that rely on hot air, infrared heat reaches deeper layers of the body at lower, more comfortable temperatures.
This creates a greater sweat response while allowing clients to stay in longer, enhancing the detoxification process.
Gentler temperatures (100°F–150°F)
Deeper penetration into tissues
Enhanced sweat + detox response
Greater comfort for longer sessions

Session Guidelines
Session Duration and Recommendations
A sauna session typically lasts 30 to 35 minutes, depending on your comfort level.
We recommend beginning with 15–20 minutes and gradually increasing your time as your tolerance improves.
Avoid exceeding your comfort limit, as overexposure can cause fatigue and diminish the benefits of your session.
For your first few visits, do not exceed 30 minutes.
Contraindications
Because circulation increases during an infrared sauna session, individuals with heart conditions or high blood pressure should consult their physician before beginning treatment.
If you feel tired or drained afterward, you may have stayed in too long. To help restore energy, alternate between hot and cold water during your post-session shower.
