A far infrared sauna uses infrared light to create heat, which penetrates the skin and heats the body directly, offering various health benefits. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, far infrared saunas use infrared light to produce heat.
Benefits of using a far infrared sauna include detoxification, improved circulation, pain relief, muscle relaxation, enhanced skin health, stress reduction, improved sleep, and potential weight loss through increased calorie burning.
Unlike the saunas found at gyms, infrared saunas use infrared heaters to emit light waves that are absorbed by the surface of the skin instead of using dry heat or steam to heat the space. This heats the body directly without significantly warming the surrounding air, allowing for a more comfortable and effective sauna experience.
The increased blood circulation from infrared heat helps deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, promoting healing and a healthy glow. Far infrared saunas can help alleviate pain by increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and relaxing muscles and joints. This can be beneficial for conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and muscle soreness.
It is important to stay hydrated before, during, and after your session. Please consult with your physician before using the infrared sauna if any of the following apply:
Pregnancy
Multiple Sclerosis
Open Wounds
Fever
Joint injuries + Metal implants
Cardiovascular Disease + Pacemaker
Diabetes + High Blood Pressure
At Aspen Aesthetics + Wellness we are committed to helping you look and feel your best.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, during, and after your session. Wear light, comfortable clothing or use the sauna semi-nude if preferred. Undergarments, swimwear, or a wrap must be worn at all times while inside the sauna. Avoid heavy meals and alcohol before the session. You will experience a gentle, soothing heat that promotes sweating and relaxation. Depending on your comfort level and experience, each session will last anywhere from 15-45 minutes. We encourage you to bring a water bottle, towel, and book. Clothing should be free of all metal to avoid the potential of burns, along with removing all jewelry.
Due to the high temperatures, we do not allow electronics inside the sauna room. You can use the quiet time to destress and take a break from the busy hustle and bustle of life. Temperatures can range from 125° - 140°. Side effects are rare but can include dehydration, overheating, and light-headedness. Always stay hydrated and listen to your body to avoid these issues. We recommend taking a shower within one to two hours after your session. Due to timing restraints this service must be scheduled in advance. This service will not accommodate walk-ins.
