What is Infrared?
Increasing temperature
for a better body detoxification
Infrared radiation is an electromagnetic radiation wavelength that is higher than that of visible light, but shorter than that of the microwaves. This radiation has the capacity to penetrate deep into your skin and increase your body’s core temperature for a more detoxifying sweat.
But don’t worry – it’s perfectly safe. In fact, it’s the same technology that hospitals use in incubators to keep infants warm. So relax and enjoy the warmth.
Infrared Sauna vs. Traditional Saunas
Traditional vapor/rock saunas use an indirect energy source to create heat. Initially, convection (air flow) and secondly, conduction (direct contact of hot air on our skin).
Given the way they heat (convection VS infrared), our infrared saunas are also so much more comfortable.
With an infrared sauna, however, less than 20% of the energy is used to heat the air molecules, thereby releasing 80% of the infrared energy for direct contact with the body. Heat therefore penetrates the body more deeply, causing a fundamental increase in overall body temperature, resulting in a higher level of detoxification. This difference explains the many unique health benefits of infrared saunas.
Given the way they heat (convection VS infrared), our infrared saunas are also so much more comfortable. A traditional sauna tends to heat between 76 and 88 degrees Celsius (169-190 degrees Fahrenheit), while an infrared sauna only heats between 42 and 54 degrees Celsius (107-140 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower temperatures mean the heat is not as stifling or overwhelming, so you feel comfortable and can stay longer to get the most health benefits from your sauna.
What’s more, unlike a traditional sauna, no plumbing or extensive electrical work is required to setup an infrared sauna in your home. Fitted with carbon panels, they only need a standard 110v outlet and installation takes less than 30 minutes, compared to the several hours required to set up a traditional sauna.
Carbon vs. Ceramic Heaters
When shopping for an infrared sauna, you want the best for you and your family. But with so much conflicting information about Carbon Panels or Ceramic Tubing, it’s hard to choose.
Carbon heating elements can cover a surface of 543 square inches, compared to 56 square inches with the standard ceramic tube heaters. What’s more, heat distribution is broader, so the quality of your perspiration is higher, resulting in better therapeutic health benefits.
