At Spa 360, we prioritize evidence-based approaches to health and wellness, offering services that deliver measurable benefits. One of our most popular therapies, the infrared sauna, provides a modern, science-backed way to promote healing, recovery, and overall well-being. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas use light waves to heat the body directly, delivering therapeutic benefits that go far beyond relaxation.


How Infrared Saunas Work

Infrared saunas use infrared light to penetrate the skin, reaching tissues, muscles, and joints at a depth of 3-5 centimeters. This targeted heat stimulates circulation, promotes detoxification, and supports cellular repair, making it an effective therapy for a wide range of health concerns. The technology used at Spa 360 ensures a comfortable and efficient experience, with temperatures kept between 120-150°F to maximize benefits without the intensity of traditional saunas (Vatansever & Hamblin, 2012).


Proven Health Benefits


1. Cardiovascular Health


Infrared sauna therapy enhances cardiovascular function by increasing heart rate and improving circulation, similar to the effects of moderate exercise. A landmark study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that frequent sauna use significantly reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Participants using saunas 4-7 times weekly experienced a 63% lower risk of sudden cardiac death compared to those using them once per week (Laukkanen et al., 2015). At Spa 360, our infrared sauna is a perfect addition to your cardiovascular wellness routine.


2. Detoxification


Sweat produced during an infrared sauna session helps eliminate toxins such as heavy metals and environmental pollutants. Research published in Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology demonstrated that sauna-induced sweating can reduce levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury in the body (Genuis et al., 2011). Spa 360’s infrared sauna is an effective way to support your body’s natural detoxification processes in a controlled, relaxing environment.


3. Pain Relief and Recovery


For those suffering from chronic pain or recovering from physical strain, infrared saunas offer a non-invasive solution. Studies have shown their effectiveness in reducing pain associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and back issues. A clinical trial published in Clinical Rheumatology found that patients experienced significant pain reduction and improved joint mobility after infrared sauna sessions (Hussain et al., 2010). Whether you’re an athlete or managing chronic conditions, Spa 360’s infrared sauna is designed to help you recover faster and feel better.


4. Stress Reduction and Mental Health


Infrared sauna therapy promotes relaxation by lowering cortisol levels and increasing endorphins. A study in Psychosomatic Medicine highlighted the ability of infrared therapy to reduce anxiety and improve mood (Beever, 2009). At Spa 360, we combine the soothing environment of our sauna with personalized care to help you unwind and recharge.


5. Skin Rejuvenation


The increased circulation from infrared sauna sessions can improve skin tone, elasticity, and texture. Infrared therapy has been shown to stimulate collagen production, making it an excellent non-invasive option for skin health. Spa 360’s infrared sauna provides a natural way to rejuvenate your skin while enjoying other health benefits.
