WHAT IS INFRARED?
Infrared light is part of the sun’s invisible spectrum of light that has the ability to penetrate the human
tissue. Infrared heat heats the body directly rather than simply the air. The experience of an infrared treatment is similar to sunbathing, giving you that wonderful natural warmth.
Unlike sunbathing, infrared heat therapy is completely healthy and safe. You can relax in an infrared sauna and it will never cause your skin to burn.
Sunlighten's far infrared technology, is the only infrared sauna heater on the market clinically shown to raise core temperature nearly 3 degrees. What does this mean for your health? You will experience the most detoxifying sweat, lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure and aid in weight loss through waistline reduction.
The most advanced infrared therapy available is Solocarbon 3-in-1 infrared treatments. The infrared spectrum consists of near (NIR), mid (MIR), and far (FIR) waves, each with distinct characteristics and health benefits. Sunlighten offers all three peak wavelengths for the maximum therapeutic results.
Detox: Sweating is the bodies safe and natural way to heal & stay healthy. Far infrared sauna use causes a rise in core temperature resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside.
Lower Blood Pressure: Infrared saunas induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps circulation. Only Sunlighten saunas are back by clinical research that shows a reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Both are key factors in maintaining a healthy heart.
Anti-Aging: Near infrared saunas provide the most effective wavelength for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone.
Cell Health: Near infrared sauna therapy stimulates the circulatory system and more fully oxygenate the bodies cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skins surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system.
Weight Loss: Studies have shown that a far infrared sauna therapy session can burn upwards of 600 calories while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories. In fact, a 2009 study showed Sunlighten far infrared therapy to lower weight and waist circumference in just a three-month period.
Relieve Pain: Infrared heat penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, and speeds up recovery time.
Improve Circulation: Sunlighten sauna treatments are like giving your body a passive cardiovascular workout. Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. Regular infrared sauna use can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.
Heal Wounds: Near infrared therapy greatly enhances the skins healing process by promoting faster cell regeneration and human tissue growth.
ENJOY VS. ENDURE
A sauna session should not be something you have to push yourself to complete. 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.
A Sunlighten infrared sauna session provides a comfortable, gentle heat that is enjoyable for the entire session and leaves you feeling invigorated, light and energized. Sunlighten is an addiction you can feel good about.
