What Is an INFRARED Treatment Session?
To begin with, infrared heat is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum, which has the ability to gently and comfortably penetrate human tissue to produce a host of health benefits. Naturally occurring from the sun, it is the basis for all Sunlighten™ saunas.
Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat is effective at a more comfortable operating temperature than traditional saunas (100°-150°F for infrared vs. 200°F for a traditional sauna). By penetrating human tissue, infrared heat has been found seven times more effective than traditional saunas at detoxifying the body.
Because of the proven benefits of the full infrared spectrum of heat, Sunlighten has done extensive research to ultimately develop what became our Solocarbon® Full Spectrum saunas. This unique patented technology provides near, mid and far infrared at optimal wavelengths based on 56 clinical studies.
What Is the Difference between Near, Mid and Far Infrared?
In a nutshell, the various infrared wavelengths precisely target health goals by offering a wide range of benefits. As you can see in the chart (below), Near, Mid and Far Infrared each provides its own special benefits:
| NEAR INFRARED BENEFITS | MID INFRARED BENEFITS | FAR INFRARED BENEFITS |
|---|---|---|
