Sessions typically run 30–45 minutes at 120–150°F. You'll sweat noticeably within the first 10–15 minutes; studios provide towels and water is strongly recommended before, during, and after. Many people feel deeply relaxed immediately afterward, with energy and mood often improving over the following hour.

Infrared sauna uses infrared light to heat the body directly rather than warming surrounding air first, as a traditional Finnish sauna does. The infrared spectrum includes near-, mid-, and far-infrared wavelengths; far-infrared (FIR) — the most common in wellness studios — is absorbed by the skin and upper tissue layers, raising core temperature and inducing a deep sweat at lower ambient temperatures (120–150°F) than traditional saunas (170–200°F).
