The heat source for the Infrared Sauna is FAR Infrared Radiant (FIR) heat. It is simply a form of energy that is directly transmitted onto objects because of its specific wavelength. It has nothing to do with ultraviolet light which is known to cause sunburn and damage skin.

This allows an in-depth heat at a more pleasant temperature of 100-150°F providing more health benefits and a highly enjoyable and comfortable environment.
