Infrared Sauna
Infrared heat is essential for achieving optimum health in all living things. While invisible to the naked eye, infrared light produces radiant heat that penetrates deeply into the body at a cellular level, raising core body temperature. This heat increases thermal energy within tissues, muscles, and joints, stimulating a variety of health benefits. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas generate a drier heat, which improves air quality, eases breathing, and provides a more comfortable and beneficial experience.
Pain Relief: Infrared saunas increase circulation, promoting healing blood flow to areas with aches and pains. This reduces stiffness and enhances the range of motion within the body.
Better Sleep: Using an infrared sauna helps regulate body temperature. The process of heating up and then cooling down supports a calm state and enhances mental control, promoting more restful sleep.
Detoxification: Excess toxins can cause fatigue, muscle aches, hinder weight loss, and lead to skin issues like breakouts or irritations. The heat from an infrared sauna induces cleansing perspiration, aiding the elimination of these toxins.
Stress and Fatigue Reduction: The gentle warmth of an infrared sauna promotes relaxation, rejuvenation, and renewal. As you unwind and detoxify, the infrared sauna also reduces cortisol, the primary stress hormone.
Skin Health and Anti-Aging: Infrared sauna sessions reduce signs of aging by diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Increased perspiration boosts blood circulation to the skin, improving elasticity, texture, tone, and firmness. It also helps clear blemishes and congestion by unblocking pores. Regular sweating detoxifies chemicals, pollutants, dirt, and oil from the skin, enhancing its radiance and leaving you with a glowing complexion.
When it comes to detoxifying benefits, infrared saunas stand out. Traditional saunas cause more dehydration and less detoxification, removing only about 3% of toxins, compared to approximately 20% with infrared saunas. Traditional saunas rely on steam to generate heat, resulting in poor air quality and uncomfortable humidity. In contrast, infrared saunas produce energy that heats the body at a cellular level, penetrating deeply below the skin for a gentle internal warming and a more effective detoxification process. This method allows for ample cleansing perspiration without the discomfort of oppressive heat found in traditional saunas.
Skip the makeup: The sauna will open up your pores, so it’s best to avoid wearing makeup. If you need to remove makeup, makeup remover is provided in the room.
Limit caffeine intake: Try to reduce your caffeine consumption before your session.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water before your session and continue to hydrate throughout.
Bring an extra towel: If you prefer having more than one towel, feel free to bring an extra.

Entertainment: Consider bringing a book or magazine for relaxation.
Change of clothes: Bring a change of light, loose-fitting clothing for after your session.
Bring a guest: You’re welcome to bring a partner or guest to join you during your infrared sauna session. Additional charges apply.
Chromotherapy, or colour light therapy, involves restoring balance to the body through the application of colours. Each colour triggers a specific bodily response and can enhance emotional and physical wellness both internally and externally. It aids in joint lubrication, reduces inflammation, decreases muscle tension, and speeds up wound healing.
Chromotherapy is a profound form of light therapy and a valuable addition to holistic health. At La Peau, you can customise this feature to enhance your sauna experience. We’ll provide a detailed explanation of the unique internal and external benefits of each colour, helping you choose the one that best suits your needs.
