Sunlighten saunas use infrared heat instead of hot rocks or steam used in traditional saunas. Traditional saunas heat the air at extremely high temperatures which can make the experience unbearably hot and difficult to breathe. Because infrared heats the body directly instead of simply heating the air, infrared saunas are seven times more effective for detoxification. In a Sunlighten sauna, you will experience the deepest, most detoxifying sweat of your life.
What is Infrared?
Infrared light (experienced as heat) is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum with the ability to penetrate human tissue, giving a soothing, natural warmth. It is naturally occurring from the sun and is the basis for Sunlighten™ sauna therapy. Sunlighten’s Solocarbon infrared technology is therapeutic because it is 95-99% efficient at heating the body directly rather than simply heating the air. It works to raise the core body temperature to produce a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level where the majority of toxins reside.
How Safe is Infrared?
Infrared heat is completely safe and healthy for all living things. You can be exposed to infrared light for hours without the risk of burning. Infrared is a naturally occurring output of the sun, but does not contain the harmful UV rays associated with unprotected sunlight. In fact, infrared heat is so safe, it is used in hospitals to warm newborn infants. Our sauna utilizes patented Solocarbon® 3-in-1® Infrared Therapy. This 3-in-1 infrared sauna blends the optimal wavelengths—near, mid, and far infrared—to achieve specific results. Seven preset wellness programs are ready to use at the touch of a button:
- Detoxification
- Anti-Aging
- Weight Loss
- Custom
- Relaxation
- Cardiovascular
- Pain Relief
Health Benefits
A Sunlighten sauna generates a sweat 7x more detoxifying than a traditional sauna
Relaxation
Our sauna has been designed to encourage the purest form of relaxation and stress-reduction. Unlike traditional saunas which operate at extremely harsh temperatures, infrared saunas offer a gentle, soothing, and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep.
Weight Loss
Studies have shown a 30 minute infrared sauna session can burn up to 600 calories. 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.
Heart Health
Our infrared sauna uses Solocarbon® heaters which have been clinically shown to reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Pain Relief
Researchers have found therapeutic benefits to back, neck and arthritis pain from continuous use of infrared heat therapy. Infrared sauna heat penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia.
Anti-Aging
The skin’s appearance improves as pores open from the deeper sweat induced by our infrared therapy. Our sauna uses multiple infrared wavelengths for the most benefit. The near infrared wavelengths are the most effective wavelengths for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin, while near infrared treatments stimulate collagen production, and far infrared wavelengths target deeper down, removing toxins that can have a negative impact on your skin.
Cell Health/Immunity (full spectrum)
Stay healthy with the natural preventative properties of our exclusive LED near infrared heating technology, which aids in cell health, muscle recovery and overall immunity defense.
Wound Healing (full spectrum)
Our advanced LED near infrared technology has the unique ability to heal wounds faster and minimalize scarring. Research has concluded that near infrared therapy greatly enhances the skin’s healing process by promoting faster cell regeneration and tissue growth.
