What is Infrared?

Infrared light (experienced as heat) is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum with the ability to penetrate human tissue, providing a soothing, natural warmth. It is naturally occurring from the sun and is the basis for Sunlighten sauna therapy. It works to raise the core body temperature to produce a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level where most toxins reside.

How safe is Infrared?  

Infrared heat is completely safe and healthy for all living things. You can be exposed to infrared light for hours without the risk of burning. Infrared is naturally occurring output of the sun that does not contain the harmful UV rays associated with unprotected sunlight. In fact, infrared heat is so safe, it is used in hospitals to warm newborn infants.

What are the health benefits of the Infrared Sauna?

  • Relaxation: designed to encourage the purest form of relaxation and stress-reduction.
  • Weight Loss: an infrared sauna session can burn up to 600 calories. The Sunlighten saunas showed a reduction in belly fat in just 3 months.
  • Heart Health: the Solo Carbon heaters have been clinically shown to reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
  • Pain Relief: therapeutic benefits to back, neck, and arthritis pain from continuous use of infrared therapy.
  • Anti-Aging: the skin’s appearance improves as pores open from the deeper sweat induced by our infrared therapy.
  • Muscle Recovery: naturally increases circulation, helping your muscles get the oxygen and nutrients it needs.

What is the difference between an infrared sauna and a traditional sauna?

Infrared heat saunas use heat instead of how traditional saunas use hot rocks or steam. Traditional saunas heat the air at extremely high temperatures which can make the experience unbearably hot and difficult to breathe. Because infrared heats the body directly instead of simply heating the air, infrared saunas are seven times more effective for detoxification.
