Question 1

What is an Infrared Sauna? Are they safe?

Accepted Answer

While infrared is invisible to the human eye, it is a light wave that is next to the colour red on the electromagnetic spectrum. While we cannot see it we can feel it as heat. This infrared heat is what powers the infrared saunas. Infrared heat is regularly used in newborn incubators, heat lamps, and appliances such as toasters. ​ Yes infrared saunas are safe. While traditional saunas use heated rocks to increase the temperature (which can also make it hard to breathe), infrared saunas heat the body directly, not the air, making it a very comfortable experience. In an infrared sauna your core temperature rises slowly, which gently releases unwanted toxins from your body.

Question 2

Do I need to arrive early for my session?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we appreciate it if you can arrive 5-10 mins before your scheduled session. We need a small amount of time between sessions to clean the rooms and setup for the next session so we ask that you exit your room when your session is complete. You’re more than welcome to spend some time in our lounge area after this!
