FAQ

How does it work?

Think about the sun, and how it's amazing light benefits our body in so many ways; but without the dangerous UV rays, or risk of sunburn. 55% of the suns rays are infrared, and even pre-mature babies are kept in infrared light to keep their temperatures stable. It is completely safe and the technology, research and science on blocking the unhealthy wavelengths and EMF (electromotive force) are what back the safe and healthy life style benefits of infrared therapy. There are 3 specific wavelengths (invisible to the eye, just like the sun) used within the sauna, plus Red-Light therapy. These wavelengths are classified as "Near Infrared Light" (NIR) "Mid Infrared Light" (MIR) and "Far Infrared Light" (FIR). Far is the longest wavelength and benefits most when wanting to increase circulation and decrease blood pressure, this heats the air and superficial layers of our skin. Mid is a little bit hotter, with the boost of heat you get deeper healing benefits such as for your joints and bones. Near is the hottest wavelength which stimulates cellular regeneration and pain relief, helps with cognitive function and sleep pattern. Red light therapy heals the skin, such as burns, scars and increases collagen production.

How long does it take?

There are options available for all age ranges and goals. Starting at sessions as little as 15 minutes, and extending up to 1 full hour, there are many options for a comfortable, healthy and satisfying experience in reaching your health agenda.

Should I get Infrared done before or after a workout?

*Short answer: Before = helps with performance and a great stimulate for warming up the body. After = Decrease injury/tissue damage, muscle recovery.
*Long answer: I personally recommend using the sauna after working out in most cases; however if you are tying in a massage treatment after a workout, then I would recommend the sauna take place after the workout, but before the massage.

Why add Infrared Therapy to Peaceful Healing's services?

Overall, after doing research, I came to the conclusion that this would be a great fit for my current clients and future clients to come, at a reasonable and fair rate. The testimonials from people I know and the science and research behind the Sunlighten Sauna team was outstanding and hard to pass up, knowing that it would only positively benefit every one of my clients, friends and family members. As a therapist I am always looking for new modalities to improve physical discomforts, promote healthy skin, and obtain a space for mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. I personally have yet to try the infrared sauna myself, due to the contraindications of my current pregnancy, but I know it will help me in the long run. However, I have personally seen and experienced the superficial health benefits of Red-Light therapy alone, so I believe the deeper penetration of near, mid and far infrared will only be greater for my body.

Should I add an Infrared session before, or after my massage appointment?

Short answer: YES!
Long answer:
- After a massage session, infrared sauna helps detoxify after a massage and enhances the massage effects.
- Before a massage, the infrared not only stimulates additional blood flow for a smoother and warmed up massage, but it also helps the client get to a relaxed state both mentally and physically to embrace the massage.
  - It is hard to choose from a professional stand point which one outweighs the other, as it really will come down the client and how their body responds, but I would recommend starting with a session before your massage if you aren't sure where to start.

Does it work well with Massage Therapy?

Absolutely. As mentioned above, the sauna only enhances the experience you have with your massage. They truly go hand in hand together to fully treat and heal the body. Another modality I recommend adding if you want to go another step further would be Cryo Therapy on your painful/inflamed area(s).

How often should I get Infrared Therapy done?

As any therapy, consistency is key to receiving longer-lasting improved results. Each client responds differently to treatment(s). For some, clients may notice immediate changes within a short period while others may hardly notice any effects. For high level training athletes, I recommend singing up for the monthly unlimited membership, and coming in a minimum of 2 times a week. Those suffering from chronic pain, it is recommended a minimum of one (1) treatment per week to bi-weekly after treating the area to a confined level of pain. Those having issue with general aches, treatment is recommended to stunt the pain as the aggravation reoccurs. For post-surgery patient procedures (with doctor consent) or recent injuries (strain/sprain), it is highly recommended for prompt treatment for multiple and consistent care, up to 7 visits a week until swelling is reduce and pain levels have dropped. Ultimately, it depends on the client’s goals, their need for relief, what they are able to afford, and how much time they are able to commit to getting optimal results.

How much Sauna, is too much Sauna?

One hour a day is the max time recommended. You are received health benefits within minutes upon entering, and at around the 30-minute mark is when the healing stages really start to strengthen. As far as how many per week, one a day, 7-days a week is 100% safe - depending on the person and body responses. I will always recommend to newbie, start slow, hotter isn't always better, and listen to your body!

Is it uncomfortable?

Everyone responds to Infrared differently. Also depending on the program you choose your body may experience more heat than other treatments, which may be a discomfort. However, the infrared was created to have a more comfortable experience to sweat easier with less heat.
