Infrared Therapy FAQ

• What do I wear? To enable infrared to penetrate tissues as deep as possible, we recommend wearing as little as possible. Gym shorts or swimsuits are perfect options.
• How often should I use infrared? One session will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. But similar to exercise, the more you do it, the better the results. Recommended use is at least once a week.
• When will I start sweating? Sweat levels differentiate between each individual. Don't be surprised if you don't sweat during the first few sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use. Even if your body is not drenched in sweat, your body is still detoxifying from harmful toxins. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water before your session. If you are dehydrated, you will not sweat as much.
• Do I need a Doctor’s note? No, if you have health concerns we recommend speaking with your doctor before your infrared session.
