A quiet tool that does more than it looks like.

Infrared wavelengths heat the body directly, driving circulation, supporting detoxification pathways, and providing gentle caloric demand. Most patients use it alongside a broader protocol for weight loss, recovery, or inflammation.

What it does well

Three things, reliably.

Circulation

Peripheral blood flow

Infrared penetrates deeper than surface heat, supporting microcirculation and warming tissue that is hard to reach otherwise.

Detoxification

Sweat-driven clearance

Sweat is one of the body's primary clearance routes for certain metabolic and environmental compounds. Infrared drives it reliably.

Recovery

Muscle & joint support

Post-exertion, post-injury, or during a flare of inflammatory pain, sauna sessions can shorten the return to baseline.

FAQ

Infrared sauna, practical questions.

How is infrared sauna different from traditional sauna?

Traditional saunas heat the air around you to a high temperature. Infrared saunas use specific wavelengths of light that heat the body directly at a lower ambient temperature, which many people find more tolerable while still driving a meaningful sweat response.

How often should I use it?

Most patients use it two to four times per week. Sessions are typically 30 to 45 minutes. We adjust frequency based on hydration status, medications, and overall tolerance.

Who should not use it?

People with certain cardiovascular conditions, active infections with fever, severe autonomic dysregulation, or who are pregnant should consult their doctor first. We screen for contraindications at the consultation.

Does it help with weight loss?

Infrared sauna has a modest direct caloric effect and a meaningful indirect effect through improved circulation, detoxification support, and recovery. It is rarely the primary driver of weight change; it supports the larger plan.

Add it to a protocol. Or just try it once.
