Commonly asked Questions about Infrared Sauna
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. We offer bath towels for your use.
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.
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.
Do I need a doctor’s note?
No. If you have health concerns, we recommend speaking with your doctor before your sauna session.
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.
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 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.
Sauna Treatment Protocol
Follow this quick guide for the optimal purifying experience.
Prep
• Wait at least 1-2 hours after eating before beginning an infrared sauna session.
• Hydrate with a minimum of 8 ounces of water to prepare for an increase in core body
temperature.
• When you schedule your appointment, you’ll want to select which health benefit program you
want for your session so the staff can be heating up the sauna for your arrival. The mPulse sauna
allows you to choose from six pre-set programs that each deliver specific blends of red/near, mid,
and far infrared for individual health benefits that include cardio, detox, weight loss, relaxation,
pain relief, or anti-aging. You can also customize a setting and create your own blend of red/near,
mid, and far infrared. Our staff can help you create your own setting if you wish.
During Sauna Session
• Listen to your body and adjust based on what it’s telling you. If you feel flu-like symptoms,
discontinue and let our staff know.
• Everyone sweats differently. You may not sweat during the first few sessions. Sweat will increase
with regular use.
Experience
• Customize your experience with chromotherapy. To control the lights, point the remote at the
control box within a 3 ft. radius.
• Discontinue your treatment and exit the sauna at any time. Listen to your body and be aware
of excessive detoxifying. If you begin to feel flu-like symptoms, you should discontinue use
immediately. If these symptoms continue, consult a physician.
• Don’t be surprised if you do not sweat during the first few treatments. Sweating will increase with
regular use, removing toxins and leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Post Sauna Session
• Rehydrate with 8 to 24 oz. of water or electrolyte drink to replenish fluids.
• Dry off with an absorbent towel, then cool down naturally or with a shower.
• Schedule next Sunlighten sauna session.
Sauna & Contraindications
Sunlighten infrared saunas operate with the same efficacy as in a medical facility. Like all professional equipment, you may put yourself at risk if you do not fully understand how to use the sauna. Infrared sauna use as creating a cure for or treating any disease is neither implied nor should be inferred. Drinking an electrolyte-replacing water or a sports drink is strongly recommended before and after use.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS
If any of the below apply to you, consult your physician prior to sauna use:
• Cardiovascular Issues, Obesity or Diabetes – Individuals suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory problems, or diabetes should consult a physician prior to use. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow in
an effort to transfer internal body heat to the outside environment via the skin (perspiration) and respiratory system. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential to increase by thirty (30) beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature.
• Medications – Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their personal physician since some medications may induce drowsiness, while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation. Diuretics, barbiturates, and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms. Anticholinergics, such as amitriptyline, may inhibit sweating and can predispose individuals to heat rash or to a lesser extent, heat stroke. Some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.
• Alcohol & Drug Abuse – Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person’s judgment; therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications prior to a sauna session may lead to unconsciousness.
• Elderly – The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland function. The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain core body temperature. If elderly, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.
• Children – The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands, and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. When using with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.
