Getting the most from your Infrared Sauna Session

Infrared Light Therapy can provide many benefits. Your specific motives and goals will help you define an effective therapy plan. Whether your session is for anti-aging treatments, detoxification, or sore muscles, your sauna session will be tailored to your needs. At sēk Sauna Studio, we want to provide you with the most optimized therapy experience possible.

Here are some tips for getting the most from your Infrared Sauna session.

How can I prepare for my Infrared Sauna session?

Cleansing and exfoliating are essential for optimizing the effects of the therapy. Exfoliate weekly and on the day of your appointment. Your skin should be clean and free of dead skin cells, oil, dirt, and any impurities that may clog your pores. On the day of your appointment, avoid any serums, creams, or lotions. Your skin in its purest state will gain the most benefit from the therapy.

Hydration is another key component of optimizing infrared sauna results. During each session, you will sweat, so showing up hydrated is important. Research has also shown that hydrated cells have better results.  So, drink plenty of water, avoid caffeine and alcohol, and don't exercise before your session. 

How long is each session?

Your sauna pod session is 30 minutes long, but your appointment time is booked for 45 minutes in your room. This extra time allows for you to get in and out and take your time doing so. In addition, it allows us to answer any questions you may have upon arrival.  Sauna pod sessions are shorter because the far infrared wavelengths in the pod penetrate the body faster than in the sauna cabin.

Your sauna cabin session is 40 minutes long, but your appointment time is booked for 60 minutes in your room. This extra time allows for you to get in and out and take your time doing so. In addition, it allows us to answer any questions you may have upon arrival.

What should I wear?

You are in your own private room, so we recommend wearing nothing. The whole purpose is for the body to absorb the infrared heat, so you’ll get the most benefit by removing clothing that may inhibit the absorption.

How often should I use Infrared Light Therapy?

Up to one daily session is safe.  So, it is ultimately up to you. Think of infrared sauna therapy as a fitness regimen. The more often and consistently you use the therapy, the more significantly your body responds to each session. If you have a specific health-related concern, please consult with your physician before utilizing our services.
