What is infrared sauna therapy?

Infrared saunas use the restorative power of far-infrared light to gently heat your body at a comfortable temperature — just 130-150°F, as compared to the uncomfortable 200°F of a traditional dry sauna.

Far-infrared light falls on the opposite end of the light spectrum from UV light. Like UV light, you can’t see far-infrared light. Unlike UV light, however, far-infrared is safe and even promotes whole-body health.

Several types of infrared waves are provided by our Infrared Sauna, and each has a different health benefit.

• Near-infrared- provides oxygenation, increases mitochondrial activity, cellular detox, positive changes in epigenetic expression, improves cell health, immune stimulating, and helps speed the healing of wounds.
• Mid-Infrared – helps improve circulation, reduces pain, and may help with weight management.
• Far Infrared – regulates blood pressure, stress reduction, and helps detoxification.

You can relax and breathe normally throughout your treatment as your body heats up to therapeutic levels. Infrared sauna therapy session at Transformation Wellness Center average 15-60 minutes based on your unique needs.
