WHAT IS INFRARED SAUNA?
“Regular” saunas- like the ones you sweat it out in at your local gym utilize heat to warm the air in the room, which then causes your body to begin its cooling process of bringing blood closer to the skin, opening the pores, and releasing sweat.
Infrared saunas utilize wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin (1.5 inches!), heating your core temperature from the inside to start that same cooling process without needing as much external heat.
Where traditional saunas can get up to 185 degrees Fahrenheit, the infrared sauna remains between 120-150 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a lot more tolerable.
Because your body has to “work” to cool down, you’re also gently activating the cardiovascular system, effectively burning calories and strengthening the heart.
The Biohack Lab's sauna uses full spectrum infrared.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Infrared Sauna Therapy uses far, mid, and near-infrared light to gently heat the body from the inside out. This deep-penetrating heat stimulates circulation, promotes detoxification, and enhances cellular function without the discomfort of extreme external heat.
The Science Behind It:
Deep Tissue Penetration: Infrared wavelengths penetrate up to 1.5 inches (4 cm) into muscles, joints, and tissues, promoting deep detox and relaxation.
Increased Circulation & Oxygenation: Stimulates blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues for faster recovery and cellular repair.
Enhanced Detoxification: Induces a deep sweat that eliminates heavy metals, toxins, and metabolic waste.
Pain Relief & Anti-Inflammation: Reduces joint stiffness, muscle soreness, and chronic inflammation.
Boosted Metabolism & Weight Loss: Raises core body temperature, stimulating fat-burning and calorie expenditure.
Immune System Support: Enhances white blood cell production, strengthening the body’s natural defense system.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING AN INFRARED SAUNA SESSION?
An infrared sauna session can be as short as 30 minutes or as long as 60 minutes, as long as your body reaches a minimum core temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit. You will wear a swimsuit or underwear of choice, and what you do inside is up to you - you can meditate, sing, dance, stretch, or even watch a show on the screen inside.
Bring a change of clothes - though the sauna is not as hot as a traditional sauna, you will still sweat! We will be providing towels and there will be a shower available for use as well.
