What is it?
The 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 gives you a pleasant warmth without the room becoming stifling or uncomfortable. You can sweat and eliminate toxins with less effort, which makes it ideal even if you do not tolerate intense heat well.
How does it work?
Infrared light acts deep in the skin and soft tissues, gradually raising the body's internal temperature. This activates the sweat glands, causing intense sweating that helps eliminate toxins through the skin. The heat also improves blood circulation, relieves muscle and joint pain, and encourages the production of heat shock proteins, which protect cells and contribute to general wellbeing.
Benefits
Detoxification through intense sweating. Pain relief and muscle recovery after exercise or injury. Improved circulation and cardiovascular health. Anti-aging effects: it helps improve skin firmness and texture and reduce inflammation. Relaxation and emotional wellbeing thanks to the release of endorphins and a sense of calm.
Types of treatment
The infrared sauna is usually offered in stand-alone sessions of 15 to 30 minutes or more, depending on tolerance and personal goals.
How do you know if you are a candidate?
Ideal for people who want to improve their wellbeing, relieve muscle tension, promote sweating or improve skin health without the need for intense equipment.
What to expect during the procedure
The heat feels gentle and deep, similar to the morning sun. The temperature rises slowly, which allows the body to start sweating naturally without feeling overwhelmed. You will begin to sweat little by little, and with that your body will eliminate toxins and accumulated tension. Sweating is one of the main benefits of the treatment. You can relax, listen to music, meditate or simply rest. It is an ideal moment to disconnect from the stress of the day. It is important to hydrate before and after, since the body loses fluids when sweating.
Results
The skin usually looks more radiant, the body feels lighter, muscle pain is relieved and circulation improves. Many users notice a feeling of deep relaxation and greater flexibility.
