Infrared Sauna Sessions
Infrared saunas have become increasingly popular amongst those who are serious about looking and feeling good from the inside out.
Sunlight is made up of both visible and invisible light, with infrared rays being invisible. Infrared rays are one of the healthiest and are able to penetrate the skin at a deep level, destroying any toxins that may have accumulated and revitalising your cells.
At the Academy Face and Body Spa in Cottesloe, we offer infrared sauna sessions that are highly beneficial to your physical and mental wellbeing.
What is an Infrared Sauna?
Infrared saunas are wellness cabins that deliver infrared heat using built-in panels. Unlike traditional saunas that use steam and hot rocks to deliver heat, infrared saunas use heaters, which promote both relaxation and an array of health benefits. As your body absorbs the heat from the panels, your core temperature increases, which induces a deep sweat that rejuvenates your body and mind.
Benefits of Infrared Sauna Sessions
This is how you can benefit from regular infrared sauna sessions at Academy Face and Body Spa in Cottesloe.
- Increases metabolism. When your body starts to sweat, your heart rate increases in an effort to cool your body down, which burns additional calories.
- Boosts your immune system. As the infrared rays raise your core temperature, your immune response accelerates and gets to work eliminating toxins.
- Relieves muscle pain. As your circulation improves, more oxygen-rich blood is delivered to your muscles, which decreases pain and promotes relaxation. The infrared heat will also bring relief to painful nerve endings and alleviate general spasms.
- Decreases cellulite. When your metabolic rate slows, it’s more difficult for your body to eliminate toxins, so it stores it in fat cells. Infrared heat reduces the appearance of cellulite by increasing the heart rate and boosting metabolic processes.
- Detoxifies. The more the body sweats, the more toxins such as metals, nicotine and alcohol are released through the pores.
- Reduce stress and fatigue. The heat from the infrared panels naturally releases built-up stress and tension, ensuring you feel relaxed and rejuvenated after your session.
- Ease joint pain. Joint pain becomes more common over time, particularly if you’re very active. Infrared sauna sessions are ideal for reducing joint pain and stiffness associated with arthritis and general age and fatigue.
- Improve the appearance of your skin. As your body sweats and releases toxins, it clears out your pores and brings your skin’s natural nutrients to the surface. Improved skin texture, colour and elasticity can be expected.
