To enable infrared to penetrate tissues as deep as possible, it is recommended to wear as little as possible. A cotton towel, gym shorts or swimsuit are acceptable options. The Spa offers towels to wear. Since most sessions will be private, clients may also choose to be completely nude and sit on a towel to allow sweat to absorb beneath them. Clients should also remember to remove any jewelry from their body to reduce the risk of burning.

One session will leave clients feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Similar to exercise, the more often clients have a session, the better the results. It is recommended to use 3-4 times/week for the most benefit.

Sweat levels are different for everyone. It is not surprising if clients do not sweat during the first few sessions. Sweating increases with regular use. Even when clients are not drenched in sweat, the body is still detoxifying from harmful toxins. The more hydrated a client is, the more she will sweat.  If clients want to sweat even more, we have a sweat amplifying cream available for purchase.

No. If a client has health concerns, recommend that the client speaks with her physician prior to scheduling a sauna session.

No. Infrared heaters are located on the floor, front back and side wall panels. The chromotherapy lights are not infrared.

There are various studies on the use of infrared for a multitude of health benefits. Specifically, Sunlighten infrared saunas are shown to increase core temperature for detoxification, temporarily lower blood pressure, and increase flexibility. Many other studies have shown infrared saunas to increase skin health, aid in relaxation and mental health, and support reduction of waist circumference. These studies can be found on Sunlighten's website via the Light Science research library. https://www.sunlighten.com/light-science/research

The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. When taking a sauna session with a child, operate the sauna at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time. A general rule of thumb is one minute inside of the sauna per year of age for the child but ALWAYS accompanied by an adult.

Just as you would not leave your cell phone in your car on a hot day, it is not recommended that cell phones, tablets, watches or other electronics go into the sauna. The electronics that are built into the sauna are designed for a heated environment and phones are not.

The answer typically is yes but also depends on certain circumstances. Clients who are breastfeeding should consult with her physician prior to scheduling a sauna session.

Even though infrared is completely safe, it is not recommended to use while pregnant. It is unsafe to increase the core body temperature during pregnancy and it is possible to overheat.
