Sweat levels are different for everyone. Don’t be surprised if you don’t sweat during the first few sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use. Even if your body is not drenched in sweat, your body is still detoxifying due to the deep cellular penetration of the infrared wavelengths. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water before your session. If you are dehydrated, you will not sweat as much. If you lymphatic system is sluggish, you will not sweat as much.
Whereas with a traditional sauna you are focused solely on heated air and sweating, with infrared it is not the heat level that is effective...it is the penetrating waves of near mid and far infrared. The variety in temps and wavelengths in our full-spectrum sauna allow customers to get an array of benefits from the infrared depending what their goals are for each session.
Infrared saunas emit lightwaves that penetrate the body to stimulate the health benefits from within at a cellular level. In our full spectrum sauna, each near, mid, and far wavelength is specifically programmed to optimize specific health benefits. This is not a sauna experience where you are just incrementally watching temps rise - they will fluctuate based on the combination of wavelengths to match the desired health benefits. The optimal temperature of infrared in our full-spectrum Sunlighten sauna is between 100-130 degrees Fahrenheit, and traditional saunas are typically heated to 150F - 210F. So, hotter doesn’t always mean better!
Important to note:
- Infrared heats the body directly rather than simply heating the air. This provides a deep, penetrating heat at lower temps.
- Enjoyable heat = longer session = more benefits.
- Infrared penetrates human tissue, and the energy it delivers is just the right nudge cells need to stimulate warmth, growth and release.
- Infrared is effective at a low, soothing temperature.
- It is completely healthy and safe for all living things. It’s even used in hospitals to warm newborn infants.
