Infrared therapy supports recovery by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.

• Chronic pain: Reduces symptoms of arthritis, fibromyalgia, and joint stiffness.

• Post-workout recovery: Flushes out lactic acid and reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

• Injury healing: Promotes cell regeneration and tissue repair.

• Tension release: Penetrates fascia and muscle tissue to ease knots and tightness.

Infrared heat penetrates deeply (up to 1.5 inches into the body) and raises core body temperature, stimulating the lymphatic system and sweat glands to release toxins.

• Heavy metals: Helps eliminate mercury, lead, cadmium, and other toxic metals.

• Environmental toxins: Aids in clearing out BPA, phthalates, and other petrochemicals.

• Deeper sweat: Infrared-induced sweating contains more toxins than traditional sweating — up to 20% toxins vs. 3-5% with traditional saunas.

Infrared heat helps calm the nervous system and balance stress hormones.

• Cortisol levels are reduced with regular use.

• Parasympathetic activation: Promotes relaxation and improved sleep quality.

• Mood-boosting: Endorphins and serotonin levels may rise post-session.

• Mindfulness: A warm, enclosed space encourages stillness and meditation.

Sunlighten offers technological advantages not found in many infrared saunas:

• SoloCarbon® heaters: Clinically backed, low-EMF, and proven to raise core temperature faster and more effectively.

• Lower EMF/ELF: Safe for daily use, especially important for sensitive individuals.

• Medical-grade chromotherapy: Optional light therapy using colored lights to enhance mood and energy.

Infrared sauna use can support weight loss in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.

• Increased calorie burn: A 30-minute session can burn 300–600 calories.

• Improved insulin sensitivity: Supports better glucose regulation.

• Fat cell detox: Infrared waves may mobilize toxins stored in fat cells, aiding in body composition changes.

Sunlighten saunas provide a passive cardiovascular workout, improving heart health and circulation.

• Heart rate increases as it would during moderate exercise.

• Vasodilation: Blood vessels relax, improving circulation and lowering blood pressure.

• Improved endothelial function: Studies show regular infrared sauna use can improve arterial flexibility and reduce arterial stiffness.

• Decreased risk of cardiac events: Linked to improved heart rate variability (HRV), a key marker of heart health.

Regular sessions promote deeper, more restorative sleep.

• Core body temperature regulation: Helps reset circadian rhythms.

• Melatonin production: Indirectly stimulated through relaxation and cortisol reduction.

• Less pain, better sleep: Reduced muscle tension and pain enhances comfort while sleeping.

Sunlighten saunas' near-infrared (NIR) light helps stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone.

• Increased circulation brings oxygen and nutrients to the surface.

• Cell regeneration: Promotes healthier skin, reduces fine lines, and improves elasticity.

• Acne and eczema: Reduced inflammation and toxin clearance helps skin conditions.

• Wound healing: NIR supports tissue healing and reduces scarring.

Sunlighten's full-spectrum technology supports mitochondrial health — the foundation of vitality.

• Photobiomodulation (PBM) via NIR boosts ATP (cellular energy) production.

• Reduced oxidative stress: Supports DNA repair and cell longevity.

• Autophagy stimulation: May encourage the body’s natural detox and renewal process.

The deep heating effects of infrared therapy mimic a fever-like state, boosting immune response.

• White blood cell production is stimulated.

• Pathogen destruction: Elevated body temperature makes the body less hospitable to viruses and bacteria.

• Cellular resilience: Heat stress proteins (HSPs) are activated, supporting cellular repair and protection.
