What is an Infrared Sauna?
AIM Boronia offers an Infrared Sauna which unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they heat your body directly using infrared lamps. These lamps emit light with the same wavelength as the visible spectrum as the sun without the UV.
A traditional Sauna will penetrate only 1cm into the skin, whereas and Infrared sauna penetrates 4–5cm into the skin, creating a cardiovascular workout while removing heavy metals and toxins from the body. Getting under IR light also increases the efficiency of the mitochondria (a cells energy power house) to help replenish energy stores.
