Infrared versus Traditional Saunas
Sunlighten saunas use infrared heat instead of hot rocks or steam used in traditional saunas. Traditional saunas heat the air at extremely high temperatures which can make the experience unbearably hot and difficult to breathe. Because infrared heats the body directly instead of simply heating the air, infrared saunas are seven times more effective for detoxification. In a Sunlighten sauna, you will experience the deepest, most detoxifying sweat of your life.

A typical session in the sauna lasts 30 minutes and no special clothing/attire is needed. You can listen to music or surf the web on your phone, tablet or laptop to pass the time! Schedule your sessions by calling our office. Session packages can be purchased by phone or in our online store by clicking HERE.

Health Benefits

Detoxification

A Sunlighten sauna generates a sweat seven times more detoxifying than a traditional sauna.

Relaxation

Our saunas have been designed to encourage the purest form of relaxation and stress reduction.

Weight Loss

Studies have shown an infrared sauna session can burn up to 600 calories. Sunlighten saunas showed a reduction in belly fat in just a three-month period.

Heart Health

Our Solocarbon® heaters have been clinically shown to reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Pain Relief

Researchers have found therapeutic benefits to back, neck and arthritis pain from continuous use of infrared heat therapy.

Anti-Aging

The skin’s appearance improves as pores open from the deeper sweat induced by our infrared therapy.

Cell Health/Immunity (3-in-1® infrared)

Stay healthy with the natural preventative properties of our exclusive LED near infrared heating technology, which aids in cell health, muscle recovery and overall immunity defense.

Wound Healing (3-in-1® infrared)

Our advanced LED near infrared technology has the unique ability to heal.

What is Infrared?

Infrared light (experienced as heat) is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum with the ability to penetrate human tissue, giving a soothing, natural warmth. It is naturally occurring from the sun and is the basis for Sunlighten™ sauna therapy. Sunlighten’s Solocarbon infrared technology is therapeutic because it is 95-99% efficient at heating the body directly rather than simply heating the air. It works to raise the core body temperature to produce a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level where the majority of toxins reside.

Near infrared (NIR) is the shortest infrared wavelength and penetrates the skin’s surface more effectively than the other two. Scientific research shows that when delivered at the vital wavelength of 880nm without extreme heat or light, NIR promotes skin renewal, cell health, wound healing, and tissue growth.

Mid infrared (MIR) is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the body’s soft tissue where inflammation occurs. MIR helps expand blood vessels and increases circulation, so more oxygen can reach injured areas of the body. This reduces pain and speeds the healing process.

The longest wavelength, far infrared (FIR), reaches deepest into the body, where toxins are stored. By raising your core body temperature, FIR stimulates the sweat glands, resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat that leaves you feeling revitalized. Plus, since sweating increases heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate, you’re also burning calories.

How Safe is Infrared?

Infrared heat is completely safe and healthy for all living things. You can be exposed to infrared light for hours without the risk of burning. Infrared is a naturally occurring output of the sun but does not contain the harmful UV rays associated with unprotected sunlight. In fact, infrared heat is so safe, it is used in hospitals to warm newborn infants.
