The Skin Deep Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy
At SOL SPA, the 24 hour smart spa, we offer Hot Detox Yoga and Hot Chakra meditation sessions inside of our infrared saunas. Infrared sauna sessions offer many health benefits to just about every part of the body, and your skin is no exception. These saunas use infrared heaters to emit radiant heat, which is absorbed directly by the body. As you enjoy yoga and meditation in the warm environment, your body temperature rises, inducing a sweat that may have positive effects on your skin. As your body sweats, it eliminates toxins through the skin. This process may help unclog pores and expel impurities, promoting a clearer complexion. Regular sessions in an infrared sauna might contribute to a more radiant and healthy-looking skin by aiding the body's natural detoxification process.
Infrared heat has also been linked to improved blood circulation. The increased blood flow can lead to better oxygenation of the skin cells and enhanced delivery of nutrients. This improved circulation may contribute to a healthier complexion, reducing the appearance of dull or tired skin. Additionally, the warmth can be soothing, promoting relaxation and stress reduction, which can positively impact the skin's overall appearance.
Collagen is a protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining the elasticity and firmness of the skin. As we age, collagen production tends to decrease, leading to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Infrared saunas stimulate collagen production, promoting smoother and more youthful-looking skin.
Infrared saunas are also beneficial for certain skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis. The heat from the sauna helps soothe inflammation and reduce symptoms associated with these conditions.
So stop by SOL SPA, the 24 hour smart spa, for an infrared sauna session any time day or night, and experience all of the skin benefits for yourself!
