Ready to relax and recover?
Using an Infrared Sauna can reduce inflammation, promote circulation, improve detoxification and speed up muscle recovery. Choose from 15, 30 or 45 minute sessions.
Using the infrared sauna properly is key to maximizing its benefits—just like warming up and cooling down before and after exercise. Follow these simple steps to make the most of your experience.
Before:
Wait at least 1-2 hours after eating before beginning your session.
Hydrate – Drink at least 8 oz. of water to prepare your body for the rise in core temperature.
We will preheat the sauna – It takes 45-60 minutes for our sauna to warm up.
Set Up Your Space – Place towels on the bench to absorb sweat and have an extra one handy for your face. Leave your electronics outside of the sauna. Take this time to disconnect from technology. Let your sauna session be a time for true rejuvenation.
During:
Start Slow – If you’re new to infrared therapy, ease in with one session per week for 15-30 minutes. Gradually work up to 3 sessions per week. Listen to your body and adjust as needed.
If you feel flu-like symptoms during your session, discontinue and let our staff know.
Customize your experience with chromotherapy. To control the lights, point the remote at the control box within a 3 ft. radius.
Stay Consistent – Just like with exercise or healthy eating, long-term sauna use leads to better results. You may not sweat much at first, but over time your body will adapt, increasing detoxification and leaving you feeling even better.
After:
Rehydrate – Drink at least 24 oz. of water or an electrolyte-rich beverage to rehydrate. We do not recommend alcohol use afterwards as it can further dehydrate you.
Cool Down – Let your body return to your normal temperature naturally or wipe down with the cool towels we provide. We recommend waiting at least an hour before showering..
Frequently Asked Questions
-
To enable infrared to penetrate tissues as deep as possible and to keep our sauna as clean as possible, please wear workout attire or a swimsuit.
-
A single session will leave you feeling refreshed and revitalized, but like exercise, consistency leads to greater benefits. We recommend starting with one session per week and gradually increasing to three times per week for 15-30 minutes each.
-
Everyone’s sweat levels vary, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t sweat much during your first few sessions—this will increase with regular use. Even if you’re not drenched, your body is still actively detoxifying. Be sure to stay well-hydrated before your session, since dehydration can reduce sweat production.
-
Consult your physician first — while the answer is usually yes, it may vary based on your individual circumstances.
-
Children’s core body temperature rises faster than adults due to their higher metabolism and limited ability to regulate heat through sweating. If a child is using the sauna we keep the temperature lower and limit sessions to 15 minutes. Children are only allowed to use the sauna accompanied by their trusted adult.
-
As we age, the body’s ability to regulate temperature decreases due to circulation changes and reduced sweat gland function. To stay safe, elderly individuals should use the sauna at a lower temperature and limit sessions to 15 minutes.
-
For the best experience, we recommend leaving your phone, smartwatch, and other electronics outside the sauna—just as you wouldn’t leave them in a hot car. The built-in electronics in our sauna are designed to withstand the heat, but personal devices are not. More importantly, take this time to disconnect from technology, embrace rest from screens, and reclaim a moment of freedom from the digital world. Let your sauna session be a space for true rejuvenation.
-
If you have any of the following medical conditions, consult your physician prior to sauna use:
Fever & Insensitivity to Heat – Avoid sauna use if you have a fever or a condition that affects heat sensitivity.
Pregnancy – Even though infrared is completely safe, it is not recommended to use while pregnant. While pregnant, the core body temperature is already elevated, and you could overheat.
Menstruation – If using sauna during menstruation, your blood flow may temporarily increase but this is not harmful.
Joint Injury – Avoid heating acute joint injuries for the first 48 hours or until swelling subsides. Chronically hot and swollen joints may react poorly to intense heat.
Implants – Metal implants, such as pins, rods, and artificial joints, generally reflect infrared waves so are not heated and should be safe.
Pacemakers / Defibrillators – The magnets in our saunas may interfere with pacemakers.
Chronic Conditions Affecting Sweat Regulation – Conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors, and Diabetes with Neuropathy may impair sweating.
Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone to Bleeding – Infrared saunas should be avoided by those predisposed to bleeding.
Cardiovascular Issues, Obesity, or Diabetes – If you have a history of heart disease, high/low blood pressure, circulatory issues, or diabetes. Heat stress can increase heart rate significantly.
Medications – Some medications, including diuretics, beta-blockers, barbiturates, and antihistamines, may affect the body’s ability to regulate heat.
