What is Infrared Heat?
Infrared heat occurs naturally as the warmth we feel from the sun. It has been used by health practitioners in devices such as heat lamps for many years. This is entirely different from harmful UV light. With the infrared spectrum, there is near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared light
Far-infrared heating delivers gentle, even, and consistent warmth throughout the session to support a specific range of outcomes. Our wellness staff will help you to choose from a range of programs that support specific outcomes with targeted blends of infrared heat.

Benefits
Detoxification
Sweating is good for you. It is the body’s safe and natural way to heal and stay healthy. Sunlighten’s far infrared sauna detoxification happens by heating the body directly, causing a rise in core temperature. This results in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside.
Skin Purification
The near-infrared wavelengths are the most effective wavelengths for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Near-infrared treatments stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone. Far infrared wavelengths target deeper down, removing toxins that can have a negative impact on your skin.
Relaxation
Unlike traditional saunas which operate at extremely harsh temperatures, infrared is a gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep. Infrared sauna benefits include therapy that helps you relax while receiving an invigorating deep-tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed after each session.
Pain Relief
Infrared sauna heat penetrates tissue, joints and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Pain management professionals incorporate infrared sauna heat therapy into treatment plans to decrease pain and muscle spasms and to speed up recovery time.
Immunity
Near infrared light therapy stimulates the circulatory system and more fully oxygenates the body’s cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin’s surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system.
Circulation
Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. Regular infrared sauna use, especially in the mid-infrared range, can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.
Sauna Protocols
To ensure the best Sauna experience, deep healing benefits and your safety, please follow our Sauna Protocols.
Pre Sauna
Hydrate with at least 250 ml of water to prepare your body for an increase in core temperature.
Sauna Session
The optimal infrared sauna experience occurs between 38° and 58°
- To get your body accustomed to infrared therapy, start with 15 minute sessions at low temperature every other day.
- Gradually increase towards 30-40 minute daily sessions in the optimal temperature range.*
- Don't be surprised if you don't sweat during the first few sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use, removing toxins and leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
- Listen to your body. Be aware of excessive detoxifying. If you begin to feel symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, or flu-like symptoms during your sauna session, discontinue use immediately. If these symptoms continue, consult your physician.
- No need to bring anything with you. Our studio provides you with fresh towels and linen. Refreshing shower with scrub and soap is available after your sauna session.
Post Sauna
Dry off with a Bamboo Carbon Towel. Cool down naturally or with a refreshing shower. Drink at least 250 ml of water or electrolyte to re-hydrate.
