Infrared Sauna Treatment & Benefits

infrared sauna

Saunas are an easy way to relax, re-energize, and sweat! As there are various types of saunas in the medical and spa industries, continue reading to learn more about the benefits of the infrared sauna, how to prepare for your first session at Renaissance Wellness, and more!

What is an Infrared Sauna?

Unlike traditional saunas and steam rooms, an infrared sauna uses light to create heat. Traditional saunas use heat to warm the air, while the infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air allowing for a deeper cellular detox. Our infrared sauna reaches 142 degrees Fahrenheit and due to this direct heating process, the infrared sauna is seven times more detoxifying! 

The Benefits of an Infrared Sauna 

Infrared saunas can benefit people with various health and medical backgrounds, from athletes to those suffering from autoimmune diseases- or are just looking for a good sweat! A few of the most common benefits include:

  • Detoxification- Seven times more detoxifying than regular saunas.

  • Pain relief- Relieve back, neck, and arthritis pain.

  • Weight loss- Burn up to 600 calories per session.

  • Lowers blood pressure- Reduce the inner lining of blood vessels thus increasing circulation and lowering blood pressure.

  • Skin purification- Reduce wrinkles and help acne, eczema, psoriasis, and burns.

  • Reduce swelling and inflammation- Improve overall lymphatic flow.

  • Boosts the immune system- Raise core body temperature, helping to keep the immune system strong.

Are Infrared Saunas Safe?

Absolutely- infrared saunas are scientifically backed and researched! Anyone, with the exception to women who are pregnant, are cleared to use the sauna. The treatment will in no way damage your skin either, no matter how long exposure lasts. 

The infrared sauna is also safe to pair with other Renaissance services, such as Whole Body Cryotherapy, to take our services to the next level while enhancing your health. If you have any health concerns about booking your first session, please be sure to contact our team to determine the best treatment plan based on your medical history.

Preparing for Your First Infrared Sauna Session

The best part about the infrared sauna is that it is a low maintenance service where you’re able to do a session and be on your way! Pair a session with a Whole Body Cryotherapy or Pilates session or stop in on your lunch break at Bell Works to reach your health goals! 

You will be in a private room, where you are welcome to complete the session in the nude or with a bathing suit. Within the sauna you are welcome to meditate, read, be on your phone- or take the time to disconnect!
