What is it?
An infrared sauna is different from a traditional sauna. Instead of heating all the air around you, it uses a special light that warms your body directly. This creates a pleasant heat without making the environment feel stuffy or uncomfortable. You can sweat and release toxins with less effort, making it ideal even for those who do not tolerate intense heat well.
How does it work?
Infrared light penetrates deeply into the skin and soft tissues, gradually raising the body’s internal temperature. This activates the sweat glands, leading to an intense perspiration that helps eliminate toxins through the skin. The heat also improves blood circulation, relieves muscle and joint pain, and stimulates the production of heat shock proteins, which protect cells and contribute to overall well-being.
Benefits
- Detoxification through intense sweating.
- Pain relief and muscle recovery after exercise or injury.
- Improved circulation and cardiovascular health.
- Anti-aging effects, including enhanced skin firmness, texture, and reduced inflammation.
- Relaxation and emotional well-being thanks to the release of endorphins and a sense of calm.
Types of treatments
Infrared saunas are typically offered as individual sessions lasting between 15 and 30 minutes or more, depending on personal tolerance and goals.
How to know if you are a candidate?
This treatment is ideal for those seeking to improve overall well-being, relieve muscle tension, promote sweating, or enhance skin health without intense heat exposure.
What to expect during the procedure?
The heat feels gentle and deep, similar to morning sunlight. The temperature rises slowly, allowing your body to start sweating naturally without discomfort. You will begin to perspire gradually, helping your body release stored toxins and tension. Sweating is one of the main benefits of the treatment. During the session, you can relax, listen to music, meditate, or simply rest. It is an ideal moment to disconnect from daily stress. Hydration before and after the session is essential, as your body loses fluids through sweating.
Results
After a session, the skin often looks more radiant, the body feels lighter, muscle pain is relieved, and circulation improves. Many users report a deep sense of relaxation and greater flexibility.
