Infrared sauna in Austin, Texas

Health benefits

Detoxification

Sweat out the toxins. Sweating is one of the body’s safest and most natural ways to heal and maintain good health by helping to eliminate toxic heavy metals, drug residues, and hormone disruptors. With the deepest penetration, Sunlighten saunas’ infrared helps increase blood flow and perspiration.

Weight Loss

Increase metabolism and burn fat. Increasing core body heat increases calorie burn, similar to exercise. Infrared saunas also help with the elimination of toxins that causes fat storage

Heart Health

Improve heart health. Infrared therapy can help your heart work better by exercising the heart, temporarily reducing blood pressure, and improving circulation.

Anti-Aging

Purify and rejuvenate your skin. Harness a scientifically-proven “fountain of youth” and revitalize your skin’s appearance. Far infrared waves increase circulation and detoxify the skin, helping regenerate and cleanse cells.

Boost Immunity

Heating the body from inside can improve the function of the immune system just like a fever can. Therefore, regular Sunlighten sauna use can help reduce the incidences of cold and flu, or help you recover faster from illness.

Pain Relief

Heat, in and of itself, is great for recovery and temporary pain relief. Infrared light heats the body from within and increases circulation and blood flow. Good circulation is critical for proper healing. Red blood cells carry oxygen and nutrients to the site of the strain or inflammation, which helps to create new blood vessels and tissues at the site. The more red and white blood cells that can get delivered to muscles, the quicker they rebuild.

Muscle Recovery

Repair muscles faster. Many professional athletes use Sunlighten saunas to recover from their training and injuries. Infrared helps deliver more oxygen to cells for faster repair and pain relief.

Relaxation &
Improve Sleep

Escape stress and truly relax. Chronic stress affects both mind and body, reducing overall well-being and length of life. Infrared saunas offer a pleasant way to unwind, incorporating relaxation and stress reduction into your wellness routine, supporting your health, vitality, and a longer, more fulfilling life.

Your session

Hydrate Before

Hydrate with a minimum of 8 ounces of water to prepare for an increase in core body temperature. Now that you are using an infrared sauna and sweating, it is even more important to stay properly hydrated.

Wear Comfort

Wear light, comfortable clothing or a swimsuit. Best option is your ‘Birthday Suit’ (we provide complimentary body wraps). We recommend bringing clothing that is loose fitting and comfortable to put back on after your session.

During Your
Session

Your first couple of sessions you should start with a shorter duration, 10-15 minutes. Gradually increase the duration in future visits. Listen to your body and adjust based on what it’s telling you. If you feel flu-like symptoms, discontinue and let our staff know. You'll feel a gentle, penetrating warmth rather than intense heat.

Everyone sweats differently. You may not sweat during the first few sessions. Sweat will increase with regular use.

Now it's time to relax! Sit, recline or lay down. Many people meditate, listen to calming music or simply enjoy the quiet.

After Your Session

Use your sauna session as a warm-up before exercise and continue with your next activity. Use a cold eucalyptus washcloth provided in the mini fridge and then dry off with a towel, then cool down naturally or with a shower. Rehydrate with 8 to 24 oz. of water or electrolyte drink to replenish fluids.
