Sessions usually last between 20–40 minutes, depending on your comfort level and health goals.
Do I need to prepare for an infrared sauna session?
To maximise your experience:
- Stay hydrated before and after your session.
- Avoid heavy meals at least 1–2 hours before your session.
- Wear light, breathable clothing or use the provided towels.
Are infrared saunas safe?
Yes, infrared saunas are safe for most individuals. However, if you have specific health conditions (e.g., cardiovascular issues or pregnancy), consult your doctor before use.
How often should I use an infrared sauna?
For general wellness, 2–3 sessions per week are recommended. If targeting specific goals, our specialists can provide a personalised plan.
