Sunlighten Infrared Sauna

An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses light to create heat. This type of sauna is sometimes called a far-infrared sauna — "far" describes where the infrared waves fall on the light spectrum. A traditional sauna uses heat to warm the air, which in turn warms your body. 

Some studies claim the supposed benefits of using an infrared sauna are similar to those experienced with a traditional sauna. These include:  

• Better sleep
• Relaxation
• Detoxification
• Weight loss
• Relief from sore muscles
• Relief from joint pain such as arthritis
• Clear and tighter skin
• Improved circulation
• Help for people with chronic fatigue syndrome

 Please abide by these recommendations: 

• If you are thirsty get out, you didn't drink enough water.
• Relax, reflect, listen to music, or read a book.

Please limit yourself to no more than 45 minutes. Do not smoke, exercise, eat, or drink beverages in the sauna room. Leave the sauna immediately if you experience any nausea, dizziness, hot flashes, cold chills, headaches or other discomfort. Drink plenty of fluids before and after leaving the sauna. 

We want everyone to enjoy their experience at Shvaas Spa. If you have booked a session, we would like to recommend that all clients wear a bathing suit or shorts and sports bra, during their visits to the saunas.   

30 min session - Starts at a high intensity to stimulate the cardiovascular system then reduces to a medium level. As the body  works to cool itself, there is an increase in heart rate, cardiac output & metabolic rate similar to exercise.  

30 min session -  A low, constant intensity level penetrates tissue to help with various skin concerns. Near-infrared LEDs  improve overall skin tone, elasticity, and firmness promoting anti-aging benefits.  

37 min session -  Starts at a high intensity to increases the body’s core temperature then reduces to a low, comfortable intensity  level. Mid and far infrared combination improves vascular access flow to reach toxins at the cellular level.  

40 min session -  Far, mid, and near-infrared rays induce deep relaxation as they relieve muscle tension at a low, comfortable  intensity promoting overall stress reduction with regular use. 

45 min session -  Starts at a high intensity to increase heart rate and cardiac output then lowers to sustain heart rate level.  Circulation increases to promote healthy blood pressure.  

Time varies -  A far and mid infrared blend provides natural pain relief by reducing inflammation and swelling while near infrared LEDs penetrate the tissue to promote cellular repair at a medium, constant intensity level.
