What is Infrared Technology?

Infrared technology uses invisible light waves to generate heat. This form of energy penetrates deep into the body, providing warming effects beyond the skin's surface.

The Spectrum of Infrared Light

Infrared light exists on the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and microwaves. It's categorized into three types: near, mid, and far infrared. Each type has different wavelengths and penetration depths:

Near-infrared has the shortest wavelength and penetrates deepest into the body
Mid-infrared reaches into soft tissue, promoting circulation
Far-infrared, with the longest wavelength, is most commonly used in infrared saunas

These varying wavelengths allow infrared technology to effectively target different areas of the body.

Mechanism of Deep Heat Penetration

Infrared light transfers heat directly to your body without significantly warming the air around you. This process, called radiant heat, allows deeper tissue penetration than conductive heating methods.

As infrared waves encounter your body, they cause water molecules in your tissues to vibrate. This molecular movement generates heat from within, raising your core body temperature.

The depth of penetration depends on the infrared wavelength. Longer wavelengths penetrate further, potentially reaching up to 1.5 inches into your body.

Comparison with Traditional Saunas

Traditional saunas use heated air to warm your body from the outside in. This method primarily affects the skin's surface and requires higher temperatures to achieve similar results.

Infrared saunas, on the other hand, directly heat your body without significantly raising air temperature. This allows you to experience the benefits of heat therapy at lower, more comfortable temperatures.

You'll typically sweat more in an infrared sauna at lower temperatures compared to a traditional sauna. This increased sweating can lead to more efficient detoxification and weight loss benefits.

Infrared saunas also tend to be more energy-efficient, as they don't need to heat large volumes of air.

What Are the Benefits of InfraRed Saunas?

Here are just a few of the many benefits associated with infrared saunas:

Infrared sauna sessions stimulate your body's natural detoxification mechanisms. As you sweat, your body expels toxins and heavy metals through your pores.
The increased core body temperature triggers a flush of toxins from fat cells, where many harmful substances are stored. Regular use can help cleanse your system of environmental pollutants and improve your skin's appearance.
Infrared saunas may also boost your immune system by increasing white blood cell production. This enhancement can help your body fight off infections and illnesses more effectively.
Your heart rate increases during an infrared sauna session, similar to the effects of moderate exercise. This cardiac workout can strengthen your heart and improve circulation throughout your body.
The heat also dilates your blood vessels, promoting better blood flow and potentially lowering blood pressure. Improved circulation can reduce muscle soreness and speed up the healing of minor injuries.
Infrared heat penetrates deep into your muscles, promoting relaxation and easing tension. This can be particularly beneficial after intense workouts or for chronic muscle pain conditions.
The increased blood flow to your muscles helps deliver oxygen and nutrients more efficiently. This process can accelerate muscle recovery and reduce inflammation.

Infrared sauna sessions can also contribute to your weight loss efforts. For example:

While in the sauna, your body works hard to cool itself, burning calories in the process. A typical 30-minute session may burn up to 600 calories, depending on your individual metabolism. This calorie burn is comparable to a moderate-intensity workout.
Heat exposure can also boost metabolism, potentially increasing daily caloric expenditure even after you leave the sauna. Regular sessions may help improve insulin sensitivity, aiding weight management.
Infrared saunas may also help reduce water weight through sweating. While this is temporary, it can benefit athletes needing to meet specific weight requirements.

Am I a Good Candidate for InfraRed Sauna Sessions?

You're likely a good candidate if:

You're in generally good health
You want to enhance your wellness routine
You experience chronic pain or arthritis
You’re seeking stress reduction and relaxation
You're trying to improve your skin health

However, caution is advised for specific groups:

Pregnant women
People with heart conditions
Those with low blood pressure
Individuals prone to dehydration

It's always best to consult your primary care doctor before starting infrared sauna sessions, especially if you have any health concerns or take medications. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history.

Remember:

Stay hydrated before, during, and after your sessions
Start with shorter durations and lower temperatures to see how your body responds
You can gradually increase as you become more accustomed to the heat

What to Expect During Your Time in Our InfraRed Sauna

You'll notice a comfortable, dry heat enveloping you as you enter the infrared sauna. Unlike traditional saunas, the temperature typically ranges from 120°F to 140°F, feeling less intense but equally effective.

To begin your session, you'll be provided with towels to sit on and wipe away perspiration. It's recommended to wear minimal clothing to maximize skin exposure to the infrared rays. Within minutes, you'll begin to feel a gentle warmth penetrating your body. Your skin may start to feel warm and tingly as circulation increases.

Sweating usually begins after 10-15 minutes. This is your body's natural cooling mechanism kicking in. The longer you stay, the more you'll sweat. Your heart rate will increase slightly, similar to a light cardiovascular workout.

Most sessions last 20-45 minutes, but you can exit at any time if you feel uncomfortable. After your session, take time to cool down gradually. Rehydrate with water or electrolyte drinks to replenish fluids lost through sweating.

Aftercare and Results

We recommend the following after your infrared sauna session:

Take a few minutes to cool down gradually
Drink plenty of water to replenish fluids lost through sweating
A cool shower can help lower your body temperature and close your pores, but remember to pat your skin dry gently with a clean towel
Apply a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated after the intense sweating
Avoid wearing heavy clothing immediately; instead, opt for loose, breathable fabrics

You may notice some immediate effects after your sauna session, such as:

Relaxed muscles
Reduced stress
Improved skin appearance
Temporary weight loss due to water loss

For long-term benefits, consistency is key. Regular infrared sauna use can lead to the following:

Improved cardiovascular health
Enhanced detoxification
Better sleep quality
Reduced chronic pain
