PRACTICALITIES
Warm-up time. Infrared saunas warm up in about 15 to 20 minutes. A traditional sauna takes 30 to 60 minutes to warm up.
Heat penetration. In a traditional sauna your body is warmed by the environmental heat. This requires temperatures of up to 170 to 210 degrees F (80 – 100 Celsius), which can be uncomfortable. Infrared rays penetrate directly into your body, allowing for a much more pleasant environmental temperature. Even the elderly can use this type of sauna.
A Greener Sauna. Better for the environment, a better system for you.
Enjoy a sauna 2 to 3 times a week for about 15 to 30 minutes.
Before the Sauna you should drink a glass of water or other hydrating drink (not coffee, soda, or alcohol.)
To wear Swimwear and always take a towel.
Every infrared sauna guide will tell you to take a quick shower.
