An infrared sauna uses infrared light waves to heat the body directly rather than heating the surrounding air like a traditional sauna. This allows for a lower ambient temperature (typically 45–60°C) while still producing a deep, therapeutic sweat, making it more comfortable for many people.

Similar to other sauna experiences, you’ll want to go in make-up free and wearing as little as possible. You’ll sit or lie down on a bench or on a mat on the floor and within about 15 minutes, you’ll start to sweat. The warmth should help relax your muscles and boost your circulation. Your session is likely to last between 30-60 minutes.

An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses infrared heat to detoxify your body, promote healing, boost your mood and more. Unlike traditional steam and dry heat saunas which work at very high heats, infrared heat lamps are effective at lower temperatures, which makes the sauna experience more comfortable. The lamps use electromagnetic radiation (which is different to risk-posing UV radiation) to heat your body.

Some therapists recommend that you use an infrared sauna up to 4 times a week, but you should factor in your health and tolerance levels. If in doubt, ask your therapist.

Infrared sauna sessions are associated with improved circulation, muscle recovery, stress reduction, detoxification through sweating, improved sleep, skin health, and potential cardiovascular benefits. Regular use is popular among athletes and wellness enthusiasts.

Infrared saunas are considered low risk, however you should take care to drink plenty of water before and after your session to help keep you hydrated and to prevent dizziness or overheating. Avoid using an infrared sauna if you have a heart condition.
