All infrared is not created equal... |
|
We've carefully selected the gold standard in Infrared Saunas, the Sunlighten mPulse® Smart Sauna, and here's why*:
- It is the only sauna with advanced 3 in 1® heating technology, integrated with red light, that allows us to customize each red light/near, mid, and far wavelength to optimize specific health benefits to meet your needs.
- For infrared therapy to be successful, heaters must have a high emissivity level for the body to absorb infrared energy. Third-party testing proved Sunlighten’s infrared to be 95-99% emissive. No other infrared sauna delivers this level of infrared therapy.
- Sunlighten’s infrared creates a pleasurable sauna experience with a soothing heat that is enjoyable for the entire session. An extremely hot environment can make you anxious for the session to end and likely to stop short. Worse yet, if it is that hot, you probably are not receiving the most therapeutic wavelength.
- Sunlighten saunas use environmentally responsible sustainability practices in the selection of wood, and every part is tested and proven non-toxic.
- Sunlighten conducts clinical testing and studies that show the unique effectiveness, safety, and quality of their saunas. Highlights include:
- Detoxification - Increases core body temperature up to 3° for a deep, detoxifying sweat
- Temporarily Reduced Blood Pressure - Double-blind placebo study showed a significant reduction in blood pressure with regular use.
- Aid in Weight Loss – Infrared sauna use reduced waist circumference in a 3-month period
- Increases Flexibility - A third-party study found that mPulse full spectrum infrared saunas increase flexibility up to 3x, using a blend of mid and far infrared.
- Pure Infrared - 95-99% pure infrared light energy absorbed into the body
- Safe, Non-Toxic Materials – 3rd party tested by
- Ultra Low EMF – 3rd party tested by
- Color Therapy (Chromotherapy): Chromotherapy is the science of using colors to adjust body vibrations to frequencies that result in health and harmony.
FAQs*
What do I wear?
To enable infrared to penetrate tissues as deep as possible, we recommend wearing as little as possible. A cotton towel, gym shorts or swimsuit are perfect options. Body wraps infused with CELLIANT that reflect the body’s infrared back into the body, enhancing and extending the benefits of infrared during your session, can be purchased through us.
How often should I use the sauna?
One session will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. But similar to exercise, the more you do it, the better the results. Recommended use is 3-4 times per week for 30-40 minutes.
Do I need to schedule a session?
Yes, we recommend you use our online booking system to schedule in your sessions. This ensures that the sauna is available and ready for use. For same-day sessions, text the studio at 878.231.3015. Walk-ins are welcomed, but not guaranteed a session.
When will I start sweating?
Sweat levels are different for everyone. Don’t be surprised if you don’t sweat during the first few sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use. Even if your body is not drenched in sweat, your body is still detoxifying from harmful toxins. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water before your session. If you are dehydrated, you will not sweat as much. If you are hydrated properly and want a sweat boost, try Sunlighten's Pure Sweat amplifying cream. Pure Sweat can triple your sweat and increase circulation.
Do I need a doctor’s note?
No. If you have health concerns, we recommend speaking with your doctor before your sauna session.
Is the Infrared coming from lights?
No. Infrared heaters are located on the floor, front, back, and side wall panels. The chromotherapy lights are not infrared.
Are there any studies on infrared therapy?
There are various studies on the use of infrared for a multitude of health benefits. Specifically, Sunlighten infrared saunas have been shown to increase core temperature for detoxification, temporarily lower blood pressure, and increase flexibility. Many other studies have shown infrared saunas to increase skin health, aid in relaxation and mental health, and support reduction of waist circumference. These studies can be found on Sunlighten’s website via the Light Science research library.
Are children allowed to use the sauna?
The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. When taking a sauna session with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time. A general rule of thumb is one minute inside your sauna per year of age for the child, but always accompanied by an adult. And remember to keep you and your children hydrated, even if you don’t see them sweating.
Is it ok to use the sauna while breastfeeding?
Please consult with your physician, as this answer is usually yes, but may be no depending upon your specific circumstances.
Can I take my cell phone into the sauna?
Just as you would not leave your cell phone in your car on a hot day, we do not recommend taking cells phones, Apple watches, or other electronics in the sauna. The electronics that are built into the sauna are designed for a heated environment.
Can I sauna while pregnant?
Even though infrared is completely safe, it is not recommended to use while pregnant. While pregnant, the core body temperature is already elevated, and you could overheat.
Are there any contraindications for sauna use?
Please consult the list of contraindications in the consent forms and if apply to you, consult your physician prior to sauna use. For a detailed list of the contraindications, click here: CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do I need to wear goggles because of the red light?
You do not need to, but if you are concerned always use caution and feel comfortable to wear goggles. We do recommend you do not look directly into the near-infrared/red light panels.
How close do I need to sit to get the red light benefits? Does it lose effectiveness the further you sit away from it?
Red light/near infrared loses effectiveness the farther away you sit. To get the full effect, find a comfortable position to sit in near the LED panel.
How do the red light and near infrared LEDs work? How long do I need to use it to benefit?
Our LED panels deliver 1-3mW/cm2 of light to the skin delivering 3 J/cm2 every 15 minutes, 6 J/cm2 every 30 minutes and 10 J/cm2 every hour. After about 15 minutes, you will receive the benefits of NIR/Red light.
What is the difference between red light and near infrared?
Red light is visible, it is a different wavelength in the range from 620-750 nm and penetrates slightly less deep than near infrared. Near infrared is invisible, is wavelength between 720-900, and penetrates the body most deeply. Sunlighten’s mPulse delivers the peak wavelengths of 650nm and 880nm. Red light and near infrared are both bioactive and are absorbed by mitochondria, blood and water cells
to initiate a variety of biochemical activities throughout the body that creates many health benefits, including skin health, pain relief, muscle recovery and anti-aging. Both are natural, safe, non-invasive and side-effect free.
