Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna
Detox. Restore. Glow.
Step into your own private retreat and experience the deeply therapeutic benefits of our Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna. Using a blend of far, mid, and near-infrared wavelengths, this gentle, penetrating heat works with your body—not against it—to promote detoxification, pain relief, immune support, skin health, and overall well-being.
Whether you’re recovering from a workout, managing chronic pain, or simply in need of a quiet reset, this is self-care at its most restorative.
We Offer Infrared Light Therapy
Infrared light therapy offers powerful health benefits on its own and pairs seamlessly with many of our treatments at Elevation Massage & Spa.
Sweating is one of the body’s most natural—and effective—ways to heal and maintain balance. Infrared sauna therapy works by penetrating deep into soft tissue, triggering a gentle yet effective detoxification process at the cellular level.
This therapy supports a wide range of wellness goals, including:
- Detoxification
- Immune system support
- Muscle recovery and pain relief
- Heart health and circulation
- Weight management and metabolic function
- Stress reduction and deep relaxation
Whether used as a stand-alone therapy or in combination with massage or bodywork, infrared heat helps the body do what it was designed to do: heal, reset, and thrive.
Full Spectrum Infrared: Far, Mid & Near Waves
Our sauna uses all three infrared wavelengths to deliver a deeply therapeutic experience:
- Far Infrared: Penetrates deepest to support detoxification, pain relief, and immune function.
- Mid Infrared: Targets muscles and joints to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and aid in recovery.
- Near Infrared: Works on the skin’s surface to promote collagen production, cell repair, and a healthy glow.
Together, these three wavelengths create a synergistic effect—working at different depths in the body to support total wellness. That’s what makes Full Spectrum Infrared such a powerful tool for recovery, beauty, and long-term health.

Infrared Sauna F.A.Q
What are the Health Benefits?
Support for Weight Loss & Metabolism
Raising your core body temperature through infrared sauna use can mimic the effects of light cardio by increasing circulation, stimulating a sluggish metabolism, and promoting detoxification. By helping the body eliminate stored toxins that contribute to fat retention, infrared therapy becomes a powerful ally in any weight loss or weight management program.
Deep Detoxification & Lymphatic Support
Infrared waves penetrate deep beneath the skin’s surface to help eliminate toxins that can disrupt overall well-being—including heavy metals, mold, environmental pollutants, drug residues, and hormone-disrupting chemicals. This process not only enhances natural detox pathways, but also supports lymphatic drainage and the body’s innate ability to cleanse and restore balance.
Cardiovascular Support
Sunlighten’s far infrared technology has been clinically proven to temporarily reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, making it a supportive therapy for cardiovascular health and improved circulation.
Athletic Recovery & Performance
Many professional athletes turn to Sunlighten infrared saunas to support recovery from training and injury. Infrared heat penetrates deep into muscles and joints, helping to relieve soreness, improve flexibility, and promote tissue repair—making it an ideal tool for performance optimization and faster recovery.
Stress Relief & Hormonal Balance
Infrared therapy helps you sweat out stress—literally. By promoting deep relaxation, it helps balance cortisol levels, soothe the nervous system, relax tense muscles, and ease stored tension throughout the body. It’s a powerful reset for both body and mind.
Radiant, Clearer Skin
Regular infrared sauna use can visibly improve skin tone and texture. The deep, purifying sweat triggered by infrared light helps open pores, clear congestion, and boost circulation, supporting a healthy, radiant glow from the inside out.
Improved Sleep & Relaxation
Time spent in our infrared sauna helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote a sense of deep relaxation—making it easier to unwind and supporting a healthier circadian rhythm. Regular sessions can contribute to deeper, more restorative sleep over time.
Immune System Support
Infrared therapy gently raises your core body temperature by up to 3 degrees, helping to activate and strengthen the immune system. This internal heat also stimulates the production of heat shock proteins, which play a key role in cellular repair and immune defense—making your body more resilient to illness over time.
What do I wear?
To allow the infrared heat to penetrate as deeply as possible, we recommend wearing as little as you're comfortable with. A bamboo carbon wrap, cotton towel, gym shorts, or a swimsuit are all great options.
For cleanliness and comfort, we do require clients to wear a towel or lightweight clothing during their session. Fresh bath towels are provided for your convenience.
How often should I use the sauna?
You’ll feel refreshed and rejuvenated after just one session—but like exercise, consistent use leads to deeper, more lasting benefits. For optimal results, we recommend using the infrared sauna 3–4 times per week for 30–40 minutes.
Regular sessions help support detoxification, pain relief, immune function, and long-term wellness.
What If I Don’t Sweat Much at First?
Sweat levels vary from person to person, especially in the beginning. It’s completely normal not to sweat much during your first few sessions. As your body acclimates and you become more hydrated, your sweat response will increase with regular use.
Keep in mind: detoxification is still happening—even if you’re not dripping. The infrared heat is working deep below the surface to mobilize toxins and stimulate circulation.
Pro tip: Drink plenty of water before and after your session. Dehydration is the #1 reason for low sweat output.
Do I need a doctor’s note?
No. If you have health concerns, we recommend speaking with your doctor before your sauna session.
Is the Infrared coming from lights?
No. Infrared heaters are located on the floor, front, back, and side wall panels. The chromotherapy lights are LED not infrared.
The Science Behind Infrared Therapy
Numerous studies have explored the wide-ranging health benefits of infrared therapy. Sunlighten infrared saunas, in particular, have been clinically shown to increase core body temperature for effective detoxification, temporarily lower blood pressure, and improve flexibility.
Additional research has highlighted infrared’s positive effects on skin health, mental wellness, relaxation, and even waist circumference reduction.
To explore the data and dive deeper into the science, visit the Sunlighten Light Science research library and discover the innovative technology behind every session.
Are children allowed to use the sauna?
Children can enjoy the benefits of infrared therapy, but with extra care and supervision. A child’s core body temperature rises more quickly than an adult’s, so sessions should be kept short and at a lower temperature.
A general guideline: allow one minute per year of age, with a maximum of 15 minutes, and always with an adult present.
Even if they aren’t visibly sweating, hydration is essential—make sure both you and your child drink plenty of water before and after the session.
Is it ok to use the sauna while breastfeeding?
Please consult with your physician, as this answer is usually yes, but may be no depending upon your specific circumstances.
Contraindications for sauna use:
Infrared Sauna Contraindications
For your safety, please avoid or consult your healthcare provider before using the infrared sauna if any of the following apply:
Absolute Contraindications (Do not use) - Please continue reading to the bottom of this page for more details
- Pregnancy
- Hemophilia or bleeding disorders
- Recent or active stroke
- Fever or active infection
- Alcohol or drug intoxication
- Uncontrolled high or low blood pressure
- Implanted devices not rated for heat or infrared exposure (e.g., certain pacemakers, metal implants)
Relative Contraindications (Use only with medical clearance)
- Cardiovascular conditions (including congestive heart failure or recent heart attack)
- Chronic conditions such as multiple sclerosis, adrenal suppression, or lupus
- Diabetes with neuropathy or poor temperature regulation
- Severe skin conditions or open wounds
- Recent surgery or injury
- Use of medications that impair sweating or cause photosensitivity (e.g., diuretics, beta-blockers, certain antibiotics)
Additional Considerations
- Stay well hydrated before and after your session
- Avoid use immediately after intense exercise or heat exposure
- Discontinue use if you feel lightheaded, dizzy, or unwell at any time
- It’s safe to use the sauna during your period. You may notice temporarily increased flow when heating the low back or abdomen, but this is not harmful and may even help relieve cramps and muscle tension.
- Children are more heat-sensitive than adults. For safety, we recommend a maximum of one minute per year of age, not exceeding 15 minutes, always with lower temperatures and adult supervision. Hydration is essential—even if they’re not sweating visibly.
Sauna & Medical Considerations
While infrared sauna therapy is safe for most people, there are certain conditions where caution—or a conversation with your healthcare provider—is recommended. Your comfort and safety are our top priority.
Pregnancy
Infrared sauna use is not recommended during pregnancy due to increased core body temperature and circulatory changes. Please wait until after delivery and consult your doctor before resuming sessions.
Cardiovascular Conditions
If you have a heart condition, uncontrolled blood pressure, or have experienced a recent heart attack or stroke, please consult your physician before using the sauna.
Recent Injuries or Surgeries
Avoid using the sauna within 48 hours of an acute injury, especially if swelling is present. Chronically inflamed joints may also respond poorly to heat. Post-surgical clients should get medical clearance before use.
Medical Implants & Metal Hardware
Most surgical implants—such as metal pins, rods, or artificial joints—reflect infrared waves and do not absorb heat, making sauna use generally safe. However, always consult with your physician, especially if the implant is electronic or temperature-sensitive (e.g., pacemakers, neurostimulators).
Photosensitive Medications
Some medications, including certain antibiotics and diuretics, can increase sensitivity to infrared light or impair the body’s ability to regulate heat. Please check with your healthcare provider before scheduling a session if you’re taking these medications.
