Infrared Sauna
Whether you're an athlete looking to speed up recovery or simply seeking a peaceful escape from daily life, an infrared sauna session may be just what you need.
What is an Infrared Sauna?
An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that utilizes infrared rays to heat the body from within.
Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air around you, an infrared sauna uses unique lamps or panels that emit electromagnetic waves in the far-infrared range. These rays penetrate deep into both your skin and muscles, raising your core temperature and inducing sweating.
There are numerous benefits to this treatment. For starters, it can help boost circulation, reducing pain and inflammation throughout your body. It also promotes relaxation and reduces stress and anxiety levels while enhancing mood through increased endorphin production.
The treatment at YES MD Atlanta allows you to customize settings for maximum comfort, including a temperature range from 100-140°Fahrenheit as well as multiple session options depending on individual preferences, such as single sessions or packages with multiple appointments available for purchase!
How an Infrared Sauna Session Works
As we described above, infrared sauna technology utilizes far-infrared lights to heat your body from the inside out.
The rays emitted by this technology are proven to deliver various health benefits, making it the perfect complement to your wellness regimen.
When you start your journey, you’ll initially enter the sauna for 15-20 minutes, working your way to longer times (30-45 minutes) as you build your body’s tolerance. You can expect to sweat considerably during your session as your body attempts to cool down. Some say their body reacts similarly to a workout as their heart rate increases and their blood vessels expand. Patients love to use this time to sit back, relax, and reflect.
The Benefits of Infrared Sauna: From Detoxification to Pain Relief
Infrared therapy has become an increasingly popular method of detoxification and stress relief in recent years, with many individuals reporting numerous health benefits.
- Rids Your Body of Toxins — One significant advantage to infrared is the ability to increase circulation throughout the body, helping flush out toxins deep within your tissues.
- Improves Skin Clarity — sessions may help improve skin clarity by promoting healthy blood flow and stimulating collagen production.
- Provides Pain Relief — when used as part of a regular routine, users have reported reduced muscle soreness following workouts and improved joint function related to conditions such as arthritis.
- Assists in Weight Loss Efforts — studies have shown that it can even enhance weight loss efforts by boosting metabolism and reducing inflammation levels in the body.
Whether you’re looking for overall wellness improvements or a quick escape from the stresses of daily life, an infrared sauna session might be worth considering.
How Much Does an Infrared Sauna Session Cost?
