Infrared Sauna
For a healthier, happier you, surround your body with the proven effects of Solocarbon far infrared technology.
How it works
The benefits begin immediately. FAR infrared waves begin to penetrate 2 to 3 inches deep into the body’s tissue, gently giving your body natural warmth. These waves create a deep heating action, which activates the sweat glands. Sweat glands function in our body to naturally control the body’s temperature and eliminate harmful toxins from the cellular level of the skin, which is where the toxins are housed. The skin is the largest organ in the human body, so the deep heating of the sweat glands allows for a detoxifying sweat.
​
The human body is comprised of 70% water molecules. FAR infrared waves cause these molecules to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds and breaks down the water molecules. These molecules often encapsulate gases and other toxic materials to be released naturally.

WEIGHT LOSS
Studies have shown that benefits of an infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories.
SKIN REJUVENATION
Forego expensive cosmetic treatments. Instead, rejuvenate your skin while also receiving all of the other health benefits associated with infrared sauna therapy. A study published in The Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy showed significant improvements in skin appearance after just 12 weeks of sauna skin therapy using near-infrared technology. Participants experienced a reduction in wrinkles and crow’s feet, as well as improved overall skin tone, including softness, smoothness, elasticity, clarity, and firmness.
RELAXATION AND STRESS REDUCTION
Relaxation is more important to health than most people realize. The American Institute of Stress estimates that 75 to 90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related problems. Long-term stress is the cause of countless physiological effects on the body, including increased blood pressure, weight gain, and weakening of the immune system. Sunlighten Solo System Infrared Saunas deliver the most therapeutic infrared sauna heat per square inch (up to 99% efficient), so that you can be enveloped in soothing warmth to help you reduce stress, ease your muscles, and relieve tension to help you feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
DETOXIFICATION
Infrared sauna detox has been widely embraced as a healthy treatment in alternative medicine. As more and more people move toward more natural and self-directed treatments, sauna detoxification is getting more and more attention. Sauna detoxification helps remove the buildup of toxic substances that can lead to a host of common illnesses. Eliminating the body of these toxins through a natural sauna detox may help relieve symptoms, prevent future illness, and increase overall health and wellness. Maintaining proper hydration is essential. The more you safely sweat, the more toxins you’ll eliminate from your body. In sauna detox, your body sweats out numerous toxins through pores. But not all sweats are the same; and neither are all saunas.
​
It is believed that infrared saunas are seven times more effective than a traditional sauna. It is commonly thought that sweat from traditional saunas is 95 to 97% water with salt making up a part of the rest. In infrared saunas, only 80 to 85% of the sweat is water, and the remaining 15 to 20% contains the cholesterol, fat soluble and heavy metal toxins we aim to eliminate. Infrared sauna is the fastest way to remove theses toxins.
CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
According to the 2015 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of global death, accounting for 17.3 million deaths per year. Countless studies have shown that the cardiovascular benefits associated with infrared sauna therapy are numerous and varied, and include improved circulation, lower blood pressure, enhanced vascular function and lower risk of heart related disease.
Infrared heat therapy promotes cardiovascular conditioning in a manner similar to that of aerobic activity, with minimal exertion. During a sauna session, your core body temperature rises, promoting blood vessels to dilate. This expansion triggers a physiological responses that includes an increase in heart rate, metabolic rate, and cardiac output. Blood vessels become more pliable and elastic from continual contraction and expansion as they are heated and cooled, and the increased demand for oxygen in your muscles promotes an increase in heart rate, stimulating the heart to become more efficient at pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body.
IMMUNITY
Infrared therapy stimulates the circulatory system, causing the heart to beat more vigorously and blood vessels to dilate, which help cleanse the circulatory system and more fully oxygenate the body’s cells. Increased production of white blood cells and toxin removal improve immunity against allergy symptoms, chronic infections, flu, germs, and bacteria.
PAIN RELIEF
Infrared sauna therapy helps penetrate tissue, joints, and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Pain management professionals incorporate infrared heat therapy into treatment plans to decrease pain and muscle spasms to help the body heal itself naturally.
SPORTS RECOVERY
The heat penetrates the muscles, increasing blood circulation and assisting with repair. It will also help in the reduction of lactic acid, allowing tight muscles to relax and rejuvenate.
