A sauna session should not be something you have to push yourself to complete. An extremely hot environment can make you anxious for the session to end and likely to stop short. Worse yet, if it is that hot, you probably are not receiving the most therapeutic wavelength.

Senara's infrared sauna session provides a comfortable, gentle heat that is enjoyable for the entire session and leaves you feeling invigorated, light and energized.

A comfortable sweat with the addition of healing Chromotherapy make Senara's infrared sauna's an addiction you can feel good about.

Healing, Healthy Heat

Although saunas have been popular for centuries, they are not often thought of for treatments in traditional medicine. Traditionally, saunas have been unbearably hot, steamy rooms in which breathing can be difficult. But the saunas of today have technologically evolved from the harsh, 200°+ rooms they originated from to a soothing, healthy heat. Sunlighten infrared technology brings forth a therapeutic treatment that is not only relaxing but also clinically shown beneficial for your health. These saunas also help eliminate toxins, further supporting the healing process. This is one of the many reasons why infrared sauna therapy is one of the fastest growing home therapies.

Infrared Sauna Treatment Protocols

Each program is designed to emit the optimal blend of infrared wavelengths – based on 56 clinical studies – to achieve the desired result.

Cardio - 45 minutes

Starts at a high intensity to increase heart rate and cardiac output, then lowers to sustain heart rate level. Circulation increases to promote healthy blood pressure.

Detoxification - 37 Minutes

Starts at a high intensity to increases the body’s core temperature, then reduces to a lower intensity level. Mid and far infrared combination improves vascular access flow to reach toxins at the cellular level.

Pain Relief - 30 minutes

A far and mid-infrared blend provides natural pain relief by reducing inflammation and swelling while near-infrared penetrates the tissue promoting cellular repair at a medium, constant intensity level.

Relaxation - 40 Minutes

Far, mid and near-infrared combination induces deep relaxation as it relieves muscle tension at a low, comfortable intensity promoting overall stress reduction.

Weight Loss - 30 minutes

Starts at a high intensity to stimulate the cardiovascular system, then reduces to a medium level. As the body works to cool itself, there is an increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, similar to exercise.

Anti-Aging - 30 minutes

A low, constant intensity level penetrates tissue to help with various skin concerns. Near infrared improves overall skin tone, elasticity, and firmness, promoting anti-aging benefits.

HOW Does INFrared Work?

Infrared light is required for all living things to grow and flourish.

Infrared light is part of the sun’s invisible spectrum of light that has the ability to penetrate the human tissue.

Infrared heat heats the body directly rather than simply the air.

The experience of an infrared treatment is similar to sunbathing, giving you that wonderful natural warmth.

Unlike sunbathing, infrared heat therapy is completely healthy and safe. You can relax in an infrared sauna and it will never cause your skin to burn.

What are the benefits of INfrared Heat?

Because infrared sauna therapy heats the body directly rather than simply warming the air, it raises the core body temperature and produces a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where most toxins reside. In addition, far infrared saunas aid in blood pressure reduction & weight loss, burning up to 600 calories in one session!

Sunlighten's far infrared technology, Solocarbon®, is the only infrared sauna heater on the market clinically shown to raise core temperature nearly 3 degrees. What does this mean for your health? You will experience the most detoxifying sweat, lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure and aid in weight loss through waistline reduction.

The most advanced infrared therapy available is Solocarbon 3-in-1 infrared treatments. The infrared spectrum consists of near (NIR), mid (MIR), and far (FIR) waves, each with distinct characteristics and health benefits. Sunlighten offers all three peak wavelengths for the maximum therapeutic results.

Health Benefits

Numerous healing and preventative benefits derive from infrared therapy. Clinically-backed research shows that the different wavelengths – NIR, MIR and FIR – are more effective than others at targeting various health benefits.

Detoxification: Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and carcinogenic heavy metals accumulate in the body during modern daily life. Studies have shown that FIR raises core body temperature stimulating the sweat glands resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat ridding the body of toxins.

Pain Relief: MIR can help to expand blood vessels and increase circulation allowing more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body resulting in reduced pain and a faster healing process. A NASA study using NIR heat, also determined that LED technology allows for deep penetration of tissue and increased cell growth from the inside reducing inflammation.

Weight Control: Perspiring is part of the complex thermoregulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate causing the body to burn calories. Studies have shown that a 30 minute IR sauna session can burn an upwards of 600 calories! A 2009 study indicated that Sunlighten infrared saunas can lower weight and waist circumference in just a 3-month period.

Cardiovascular: During a 10-20 minute sauna session, heart rate increases by 50-75% which provides the same metabolic result as physical exercise. There is a nominal effect on blood pressure because the heat also causes blood vessels in skin to expand to accommodate increased blood flow. A 2005 clinical study conducted by the University of Missouri, Kansas City showed that Solocarbon FIR sauna treatments dilated blood vessels and reduced the volume of their inner lining concluding that Solocarbon FIR reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure with regular use.

Increase Cell Health & Boost Immunity: Several studies have shown that near infrared properties can help improve cell health, enhance muscle recovery and boost immune defenses. A NASA study concluded that NIR LED technology can quadruple cell health and tissue growth. Another study done at the Medical College of Wisconsin demonstrated that LED-produced near infrared helps promote cell health and regeneration. Lastly, a study from The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology concluded that LED near infrared (NIR) restores enzyme activity and reduces cell death by half.

Anti-Aging: IR improves circulation, expels dirt & chemicals and removes dead cells on the surface of the skin resulting in a soft, clear complexion. A study published in The Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy showed significant improvements in skin appearance after just 12 weeks of NIR therapy. Participants experienced a reduction in wrinkles and crow’s feet, as well as improved overall skin tone, including softness, smoothness, elasticity, clarity and firmness.

In addition to the benefits above, 3-in-1 infrared saunas have also been shown to increase circulation, improve cell health, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I wear?

To enable infrared to penetrate tissues as deep as possible, we recommend wearing as little as possible. A bamboo carbon body wrap, cotton towel, gym shorts or swimsuit are perfect options.

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.

Is the Infrared coming from lights?

No, infrared heaters are located on the floor, front, back and side wall panels.

Are children allowed to use the sauna?

No. Senara does not currently offer Sauna treatments to anyone under the age of 18.

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.

Can I sauna while pregnant?

Even though infrared is completely safe, it is NOT recommended to use while pregnant. While pregnant, the core body temperature is already elevated and you could overheat.

Are there any contraindications for sauna use?

There are a few potential contraindications, please consult your physician prior to sauna use if you have any concerns.
