Frequently Asked Questions
What do I wear?
To enable infrared to penetrate tissues as deep as possible, we recommend wearing as little as
possible. We will provide you with a bamboo carbon body wrap, cotton towel, and disposable underwear.
How often should I use the sauna?
One session will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. But similar to exercise, the more you
do it, the better the results. Recommended use is 3-4 times per week for 30-40 minutes.
When will I start sweating?
Sweat levels differentiate between each individual. Don't be surprised if you don't sweat during the
first few sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use. Even if your body is not drenched in
sweat, your body is still detoxifying from harmful toxins. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water
before your session. If you are dehydrated, you will not sweat as much. If you are hydrated
properly and want a sweat boost, try our Pure Sweat amplifying cream. Pure Sweat can triple your
sweat and increase circulation.
Do I need a Doctor’s note?
No, if you have health concerns we recommend speaking with your doctor before your sauna
session.

Sunlighten infrared saunas have been shown to increase core temperature for detoxification, lower

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 you
specific circumstances.

pregnant, the core body temperature is already elevated and you could overheat.
