ABOUT OUR INFRARED SAUNA TECHNOLOGY

Infrared sauna technology provides you with a safe, comfortable, and healthy way to experience the same energy and warmth emitted naturally from the sun. Our search for the most advanced infrared technology led us to Sunlighten Sauna’s Solocarbon 3-in-1® Infrared Technology - what we consider to be the superhero of detoxification. The mPulse Series is the only line of smart full spectrum infrared saunas in the world including, near, mid, and far infrared technology.

Our luxury infrared sauna also features chromotherapy: LED colored lights that restore balance by means of applying color to the body. Sunlighten Sauna’s advanced technology works by using three wavelengths of light - near, medium, and far - to heat different parts of the body, rather than the air around it. This “full spectrum” of infrared light raises your internal body temperature to a point where water molecules within your joints, muscles, and tissues vibrate to easily break down. This breakdown increases circulation and accelerates oxygen flow, allowing toxins such as radiation, heavy metals, and other environmental chemicals to pass out of the body through sweat.

One of our main focuses at Freeze & Float is cleanliness. After each session, we disinfect the sauna with non- toxic cleaning supplies. Infrared heat kills 99% of bacteria; however, we still require all clients to sit on the. provided towels to ensure a clean and sterile environment. Additionally, our Sunlighten sauna is made from hypoallergenic fragrance-free eucalyptus wood that is untreated and free from harmful chemicals.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR INFRARED SAUNA SESSION

Our infrared sauna is cozy and dry, not sweltering and humid, with temperatures ranging from 110 to 155 degrees Fahrenheit (conventional saunas range from 160 degrees and up.)

You may find that it takes about 10-15 minutes to begin sweating, however once the body temperature increases it is a deep detoxing sweat. With increased usage you will likely notice an increased ability to sweat more productively. After sweating you may notice glowing skin, diminished wrinkles, muscle and injury relief as well as a sense of relaxation.

It is important to stay properly hydrated; you’ll need to drink plenty of water before, during and after your sauna session. You can go nude if you would like, as more skin exposure is preferable, but be sure to put down a towel to absorb your sweat. Swimsuits or any lightweight apparel are fine as well. We recommend wearing comfortable and loose fitting clothing after your session.
