Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they use infrared lamps (that use electromagnetic radiation) to warm your body directly.
These saunas use infrared panels instead of conventional heat to easily penetrate human tissue, heating up your body before heating up the air.
As part of overall well-being, taking care of your physical appearance holds significance. Who does not enjoy looking the best they can? Today, it is natural to invest in ways to improve your beauty. With infrared saunas, you can enrich both your health and beauty altogether.
The healthy glow you achieve from a session in the sauna delivers you a luminous and radiant look. Infrared sauna treatments involve skin detoxification, using the infrared wavelengths to clear ingrained impurities – purifying pores of toxins and removing all dead skin cells. The infrared sauna enhances blood circulation and delivery of nutrients to your skin, rejuvenating your skin’s complexion. The dead skin removal brings back colour into your face, enhancing your skin tone and glow. Overall, the skin is enhanced, becoming softer, smoother, brighter, more elastic and firmer. Infrared sauna therapy brings together relaxation, health and rejuvenation in one experience, whether you're looking to unwind or improve your health.

The infrared sauna has anti-aging benefits as it increases collagen and elastin production. As a fundamental protein of the skin, collagen makes up 70–80% of the dry weight of the skin and gives the dermis its mechanical and structural integrity. A collagen deficiency can cause wrinkles, joint and muscle pain, fragile bones, abnormal blood pressure, thinning hair and possibly depression in some cases. Meanwhile, the increase in elastin assists in the critical function of supplying elasticity for the skin. Therefore, the increase of these vital components for vibrant skin reduces wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin- making you look more youthful.
Detoxification - Sweating is good for you. It is the body’s safe and natural way to heal and stay healthy. A detox 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 Health - Infrared Saunas are a wonderful tool for promoting clear, glowing skin. Some studies have found that infrared saunas aid in skin revitalization boosting collagen production (a protein that is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness) leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin. The heat and sweating in saunas open up pores, expelling dirt and dead skin cells. Helping to clear impurities, leaving your skin feeling smooth, clean and refreshed.
Pain Relief - Infrared light therapy 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.
Weight loss - Regular use of an infrared sauna can boost your heart rate and metabolic rate, akin to moderate exercise. This increase in metabolic rate helps burn calories and supports weight loss efforts, making it a useful addition to a weight management program. Infrared saunas can burn 400–600 calories in 30 minutes.
Improved Circulation - The infrared heat stimulates blood flow by dilating blood vessels and enhancing circulation. This improved blood flow helps deliver oxygen and nutrients more effectively to muscles and tissues, aiding in recovery and overall health.
Immunity & Healing -The heat from an infrared sauna raises the body's core temperature, which mimics a fever and stimulates the immune system. A 1% increase in body temperature can increase immunity by 40%. The heat from an infrared sauna increases the body's production of
white blood cells, which are the immune system's first line of defence against infection
Better Sleep & Relaxation - Infrared saunas can help promote better sleep by relaxing the body and mind. The deep heat therapy aids in lowering stress levels and balancing hormones that affect sleep patterns, contributing to more restful and restorative sleep. Infrared therapy creates biochemical changes in your body. It causes the release of dopamine, the conduit of serotonin and makes more serotonin available to the pineal to
make into melatonin. The high temperatures in an infrared sauna cause your body to release endorphins and help balance cortisol levels enhancing mood and create a sense of well-being.
Lower Blood Pressure - Infrared Saunas benefits through vasodilation and can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Both are key factors in maintaining a healthy heart. Induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps circulation.
Chromotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses light in the form of different colours to improve overall health. Each colour is believed to have specific effects on the body and mind. For example, red is often associated with boosting energy, while blue is thought to have a calming effect. It’s all about using light to help bring balance to the body
The history of chromotherapy dates back to ancient cultures. Egyptians used sunlight filtered through coloured glass to treat various ailments. Meanwhile, in traditional Chinese medicine, colour therapy has long been used as part of healing practices. Though it sounds modern, this idea has been around for centuries.
Chromotherapy is integrated into infrared saunas through a system of LED lights that emit specific colours during your sauna session. Each colour used in chromotherapy corresponds to a different wavelength of light. These wavelengths are thought to penetrate the skin at different levels, each affecting the body in unique ays. The idea is that the body reacts to the colours as a form of stimulus, encouraging healing, relaxation, or invigoration. For instance, red light is said to penetrate deeper into the tissues, which is why it’s often associated with pain relief and improved circulation.
Chromotherapy offers a range of physical and mental health benefits, especially when paired with infrared sauna sessions. The combination of soothing heat and colour therapy can enhance the overall experience, making your experience more than just a regular sauna visit.
