Before Your Appointment

Pre Sauna Session

Drink plenty of water before and after your sauna session to replenish fluids lost through perspiration.
Please arrive early in order to set yourself up comfortably. Appointments are set up back to back with a small amount of time in between to clean and prep for the next client.
Limit food intake one hour before your infrared session. This allows the body to detox more effectively because it will not be using that energy for digestion.
Oil and lotion decrease perspiration by blocking pores. Therefore, it is best to enter a sauna with dry, clean skin.
During the session you can disrobe to your comfort level: bathing suit or undergarments are ideal.
Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended for after your session.
Cell phones, water bottles (both plastic and glass) should be kept outside of the sauna. This prevents items from overheating, melting, or breaking. Paper goods are safe to take inside (i.e. books and magazines).
We recommend you take advantage of this little window of time to care for your body AND mind- this is a great time for a tech break! You can’t use the phone or device safely inside the sauna as it may damage your battery.
All no call/no show appointments will result in forfeit of prepaid service. We ask if you need to reschedule to give 24 hours notice
Please carefully read through CONSENT FORM and sign it

Why Infrared Sauna?

Infrared light is part of the sun’s invisible spectrum of light that has the ability to penetrate the human tissue. Infrared heat, heats the body directly rather than simply the air.

Far infrared (FIR) is the longest wavelength and reaches deepest into the body, where toxins are stored. By raising your core body temperature, FIR stimulates the sweat glands, resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat that leaves you feeling revitalized. Benefits include weight loss, detoxification, relaxation and blood pressure reduction.

Mid infrared (MIR) is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the body’s soft tissue where inflammation occurs and speeds up the healing process. Benefits include pain relief, improved circulation, and weight loss.

Near infrared (NIR) is the shortest infrared wavelength. Scientific research shows that when delivered at vital wavelength of 880nm, without extreme heat or light, NIR promotes skin renewal, cell health, wound healing and tissue growth.

At the LightHouse we are proud to offer the only 3-in-1 full spectrum Infrared sauna therapy on the market. You get all three near, mid and far AND chromotherapy.

CHROMOTHERAPY

We offer chromotherapy during each session at no additional cost. This ancient healing method of light and color therapy improves overall health and harmony. Each color in the visible light spectrum possesses frequencies of a specific vibration. Each vibration is related to different physical symptoms. Chromotherapy restores various energy points to help balance the body. You get to choose the color during you session or let the device automatically rotate through the whole rainbow!

Red is one of the brighter hues and can increase energy and create excitement. It invigorates a person and energizes the body’s organs. When used alongside infrared, it can help promote faster healing. Collagen cells and the skin itself are improved.

Orange is similar to red in that it can stimulate thinking and uplifts the emotions. Energy levels are increased and a person’s overall mood can be greatly enhanced.

Yellow is thought to be more of a spiritual nature, providing a better outlook. Most people are more lighthearted and feel more optimistic around yellow.

Green is a universally calming and healing hue. Many who suffer from SAD (winter blues due to lower light levels) often find some relief from green. It can have the effect of offering sharper thinking and clarity. It is suggested that green will program the body to respond by increasing whatever healing is already taking place.

Blue is also known to relieve depression. It can calm inflammation, headaches and blood pressure. It also has an antibacterial effect on the skin. Many medical offices have images of blue skies and white clouds as the combination is very calming and relaxing.

Purple has been shown to often help a person deal with existing pain. It has been shown to help those suffering form fibromyalgia. Even white blood cells are energized by the purple spectrum of light. It is very soothing.
