FAQs

Infrared is an invisible wavelength of light, experienced as heat, that safely penetrates the body at a cellular level and raises core body temperature. Each wavelength of the full spectrum, far, mid and near, targets different parts of the body to produce specific health benefits.

The far wavelength is the longest and targets stored toxins, which are broken apart by the heat and released through sweat. The mid wavelength targets muscle and joint tissue, reducing inflammation and aiding physical recovery. The near wavelength targets the skin, increasing collagen and encouraging cell rejuvenation.

Infrared heat is safe for all living things. You can be exposed to infrared light for hours without risk of burning. It is a naturally occurring output of the sun without the harmful UV rays of unprotected sunlight. Infrared is used in hospitals, including to warm newborn babies.

Always consult your doctor with any questions or concerns before starting any new wellness practice.

Infrared heat is gentle. The experience is similar to lying in the sun on a warm day and feeling heat radiate into your core. Traditional hot rock or steam saunas can operate in excess of 90°C, while infrared is effective at a more comfortable 40°C to 65°C.

Traditional saunas heat the air around you. Infrared heats the body directly, which is why it is significantly more effective at detoxification and deep tissue sweating.

Metal pins, rods, artificial joints and other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and are not heated by the system. Silicone and other implants are also typically unaffected. Nevertheless, please consult your physician before using an infrared sauna.

Our Sunlighten mPulse sauna sessions are 40 or 55 minutes. We customise each visit based on your heat tolerance and experience with infrared. Clients new to sauna are advised to start with shorter sessions, which your studio host will walk you through.

Massage Pod sessions start at 20 minutes and you can choose from 20 automatic programmes covering neck and shoulder care, sleep support, circulation, stress release and more.

Undergarments are required. We provide cotton dressing gowns and fresh towels for your comfort. Towels must be placed on the bench in the cabin, and shoes are not permitted inside.

We recommend natural cotton material rather than synthetic fabrics, so the infrared rays are not blocked.

Yes, we provide fresh towels at every session and we offer a shower afterward so the toxins don't get reabsorbed.

If you are short on time, we also offer cold toweling to bring inside the iSauna to help you remove the toxins and refresh you while you relax and take in the sound therapy in the cabin.

In The Wellness Suite we offer electrolyte water to help your hydration replenish and support your detoxification.

You are welcome to bring your own water bottle with a lid into the cabin as well.

Don't worry. For some people, it takes a few sessions before the body really begins to sweat profusely. Hydration levels also strongly affect how much you sweat.

Even if you are not sweating much, you are still receiving the therapeutic benefits of infrared heat. By your second or third visit, the sweat almost always follows.

No. Women who are pregnant should not undertake any therapy that raises their core body temperature. This applies to traditional saunas, steam rooms and jacuzzis as well as infrared.

Post-birth and during breastfeeding, infrared therapy is typically safe to resume. Please consult your doctor before booking a session.

Like any wellness practice, you will see greater results the more consistent you are. Clinical studies have shown three sessions per week to be effective for focused therapies around immunity, pain relief and recovery.

Many clients integrate sauna into their routine post-workout, while others experiencing autoimmune conditions or mould toxicity benefit from daily deep detox sessions. We offer courses and memberships to make regular practice straightforward.

Government regulation requires all users to be 18 or over. We reserve the right to check identification for clients who appear 25 or younger.

Unfortunately we do not. We are a boutique studio, and parents will need to make arrangements for their children outside the studio. Children are not permitted inside the session rooms.

Yes, and most clients do. A common pairing is 30 to 40 minutes of infrared followed by a 20 to 30 minute Massage Pod session. The sauna prepares the body with warmth and improved circulation, and the massage works deeper into relaxed muscles.

We offer combined booking slots at reception so you can arrange both in a single visit.

Guest safety and hygiene are our priority. Every cabin and pod is thoroughly cleaned and sanitised between sessions. Please contact us directly if you would like detail on our current protocols.
