Benefits
Detoxification through sweat is a centuries old practice. Modern environmental medicine has proven that sweat is more than temperature regulation. It's also part of the body's elimination system. It's one of the the best ways to detoxify your body.
​
Infrared offers a more enjoyable, pleasant experience. It warms the body from within instead of just heating the air around you. This provides a unique opportunity for health benefits beyond a traditional sauna.
01
Detoxification
Sweat out the toxins. Sweating is one of the body's safest and most natural ways to heal and maintain good health by helping to eliminate toxic heavy metals, drug residues, and hormone disruptors. With the deepest penetration, Sunlighten saunas' infrared helps increase blood flow and perspiration.
02
Improve Sleep Quality
Lack of sleep can increase inflammation, cravings, insulin resistance, weight gain, heart disease, impair immune function, decrease mental health, accelerate aging, and reduce muscle recovery.
Infrared sauna therapy enhances detox pathways, increases circulation and improves mitochondria function, all of which help the whole body work better and thus help sleep, too.
03
Weight Loss
Increase metabolism and burn fat. Increasing core body heat increases calorie burn similar to exercise. Infrared saunas also help with the elimination of toxins that cause fat storage.
04
Heart Health
Improve heart health. Infrared therapy can help your heart work better by exercising the heart, temporarily reducing blood pressure, and improving circulation.

Be sure to check your "junk" or "spam" folders and contact us if you do not receive a response.
​
How early should I arrive?
In an effort to maximize your time, please sign a WAIVER prior to arrival and arrive a few minutes early to get instructions, use the restroom, etc. You will need to undress/dress in the allotted time slot for your appointment. Because there may be appointments scheduled after yours, if you are late, your session may not be pushed back.
What do I wear in the sauna?
Some prefer to wear a bathing suit, while others prefer to wear nothing. Either way, please use a towel to sit on.
​
What do I bring?
Please come hydrated and bring a reusable water bottle. There is a bluetooth speaker in the sauna that you can connect to if you'd like to listen to music or a podcast, or you may bring headphones, a book, or enjoy the silence. Towels will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
​
How hot does an infrared sauna get?
The suggested temp is 130 - 135°F, but it has the capability to get up to 155°F.
How long do I need to stay in?
You will experience the benefits after just 15 minutes, and the max suggested time is 45 minutes. Your allotted time includes the time it takes before and after to get dressed.
​
Do you have showers on site?
Unfortunately, we do not. Please plan accordingly.
​
How does an infrared sauna differ from a traditional steam sauna?
Infrared heats you from the inside out, rather than heating the air, like a traditional sauna. Some people do not sweat much, or at all, their first several sessions, but do as they become acclimated. Many have reported that the infrared sauna feels better on the lungs and does not take your breath away, like a traditional sauna can.
​

No refunds/rainchecks will be issued for no-shows or sessions cancelled within 12 hrs of appointment. Please contact us ASAP if you must cancel your appointment.
