Understanding the Benefits of an Infrared Sauna

With various infrared saunas now available at Splash & Relax, it’s important you have a head start on understanding the benefits of this technology. Infrared saunas are seen to be an effective tool for your body’s natural healing and overall protection. The light that this technology releases has an ability to penetrate human tissue and offer a host of anti-ageing health benefits.

Detoxification aka sweating is the body’s safe way of staying healthy and healing, and this brings anti-ageing and skin purification. Your infrared sauna will cause the most effective wavelength for healing for the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. These near infrared treatments stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles and offer an overall improvement to your skin tone.
 
Another study into infrared saunas has shown the benefit of weight loss. Studies have actually shown that an average session in one of Splash & Relaxes saunas can burn upwards of 600 calories, just why you relax! 
 
How? The body will work to cool itself and there will be a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate which will in turn cause the body to burn more calories. Simple stuff really.
 
As well as all of this, other benefits may include pain relief, cell health, lower blood pressure and the ability to contribute to wound healing.
 
Our saunas take around 30 minutes to warm up, compare that to a traditional sauna which can take up to 1hr30mins. They offer up to 3 times more perspiration than traditional saunas and cost less that 30p a session.
 
If this type of sauna is something that now appeals to you, see our whole range of infrared saunas here to pick the right product for your home, business or social environment.
