Infrared Sauna Therapy
AN ENJOYABLE, RELAXING EXPERIENCE.
Our saunas combine the centuries-old healing practice of traditional sauna with the science-backed technology of Infrared & Red Light therapy to optimize your health and wellness. An infrared sauna is superior compared to a traditional sauna. A traditional sauna heats up the air whereas an infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air around you. Our Sunlighten full-spectrum (near, mid, far) saunas combine the beneficial infrared rays with the therapeutic visible Red Light and Chromotherapy in every sauna session. By eliminating the sun’s troublesome, harmful UV rays, by having the lowest EMF producing sauna technology, by having Sunlightens patented SoloCarbon(trademark symbol) infrared heaters we provide a safe, restorative sweat session that will leave you Relaxed, Rest, and Recovered.
Our infrared sauna’s use near, mid, and far-infrared waves which gently heat the body from within and allow you to sweat on “purpose”. These waves are able to penetrate the skin, muscles, joints, and tissues to improve blood circulation and oxygen flow to provide pain relief, restoration and recovery. The waves also aid in detoxification of the body by removing impurities at the cellular level where the body stores waste and harmful toxins. Research shows that the sweat from traditional sauna’s is 95% water whereas the sweat from infrared saunas is 80-85% water and 15-20% was comprised of heavy metals, sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia, uric acid and fat-soluble toxins.
Infrared health benefits
Recover Faster
Reduce inflammation, relieve tension & pain, improve circulation and flexibility. Infrared saunas are not only for professional athletes but for everyone. Sunlighten saunas aid in recovery from our injuries, daily stressors, exercise programs and our fast-paced lives. Heal the natural way without negative side effects.
Detoxification
Sweat out the toxins. Sweating is one of the body’s safest and most natural ways to heal and maintain good health by helping to eliminate toxic heavy metals, drug residues and hormone disruptors. With the deepest penetration, Sunlighten Infrared saunas’ helps increase blood flow and perspiration.
Heart & Mind
Improve heart health by reducing blood pressure and improving circulation. Melt away stress, calm the nervous system, and improve sleep through the release of deep heat, increased endorphins and chromotherapy. A clean, detoxifying sweat session that heals you from the inside out.
Immunity
Induces a false fever, strengthens immune response, removes metabolic waste. The false fever sparks the body’s natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate and enhance your immune system thus increasing your overall health and resistance to disease.
Weight Loss
Not just water weight but actually increase metabolism and burn fat. Increasing core body heat increases calorie burn, similar to exercise. Infrared saunas also help with the elimination of toxins that cause fat storage. A normal sauna session will burn approximately 400 calories and the cardio setting will burn approximately 600 calories. Regular use of infrared saunas imparts a similar aerobic response from the cardiovascular system as that of light to moderate exercise.
Anti-Aging
Rejuvenate your skin. Increased circulation draws your skin’s own natural nutrients to the surface. As a result, you will see improved tone, elasticity, texture and fresh color shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions and cuts. The sweating will also carry off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells. This leaves the skin glowing and immaculately clean. The increased blood circulation also works together to stop fatty deposits and fibrosis from accumulating, aka cellulite reduction.

Before Your Sauna Session
It is important to be properly hydrated during everyday life and now you will be using an infrared sauna.
Hydrate with at least 8 ounces of water and it is preferred to wait at least an hour after eating a meal before your sauna session.
What to wear?
Lightweight breathable shorts and tee shirts are ok, swimsuits are better. We ask that if you wear your birthday suit, please wrap yourself in one of our towels. Be sure to bring loose fit, breathable clothes to put on after your session for you will continue to sweat until your body naturally cools down.
Our mPulse Smart Sauna is pre-programmed to Dr. Waldo’s Full Spectrum and Customizable temperature. If you prefer you can choose from six pre-set sauna sessions that each deliver specific blends of red light/near, mid, and far infrared for individual health benefits that include Cardio, Detox, Weight Loss, Relaxation, Pain Relief or Anti-Aging.
During Your Sauna Session
- Please arrive 5 minutes early to get checked in and hydrate with our filtered water system.
- Your infrared sauna experience includes a private room so you can fully relax and enjoy your session. We offer three-person saunas, so you can spread out yourself or bring a friend!
- It is recommended not to bring your phone and earbuds into the sauna because they will get hot. Our saunas are equipped with Blaupunkt Bluetooth speakers, so you can listen to your favorite music, books, or podcasts—or just unplug completely and sit in silence.
- It takes 10-20 minutes to break a sweat in your first session. Our saunas heat your body directly, passively raising your core temperature by 2-3 degrees rather than simply heating your skin with hot air.
- Listen to your body and adjust based on what it tells you. Just like exercise, you might not be ready for it full-time. Feel free to leave the sauna and cool off for a few minutes, grab some water, or discontinue early.
- Dr. Waldo will also offer some light, gentle mobility exercises you can perform.
- The in-sauna session will last 30 minutes.
After Your Sauna Session
- Don’t rush the cooling-off process! Enjoy every minute of it, just like you did the sauna. The cool-down process is actually where your body burns the most calories because it’s working hard to regulate its temperature. You will have 10 minutes in your private suite to towel off and begin cooling off.
- Remember to bring loose, breathable clothes during this cooling-down process.
- Rehydrate with 8-24 oz of water from our filtered water station. Please bring your electrolytes or choose from our electrolyte mixes to add to your water.
Things to consider
- Pair your sauna session with an adjustment and or massage.
- You can use your sauna session to recover from your workout or activity or even as a warm-up.
- Results are cumulative, just like working out or dieting. This means the more you come in, the better you will feel, and it may take a few sessions before you feel the benefits—even during the summer months!
- Don’t have time to make saunas a regular part of your monthly well-being? Using them in the short term will still help you to relax, reset and recover.
