SWEAT OUT HEAVY METALS AND OTHER TOXINS WITH FAR-INFRARED CELLULAR PURIFICATION.
WHY IS AN INFRARED SAUNA BETTER THAN A TRADITIONAL SAUNA?
In an infrared sauna the heat penetrates deeper and faster into the
human body in contrast to the humid, surface heat of a traditional
sauna. An infrared sauna uses less energy, heats up much quicker and is
effective at a lower temperature so that one can tolerate the heat for
a longer session thus increasing the benefits of the sauna.
 Infrared
heat penetrates almost 2 inches deep into your muscles and bones for
optimum therapy. With SaunaSpa infrared Ceramic heaters your body will
produce 3 times more perspiration removing 4 times more harmful toxins
and waste from the body. Leaving you healthier and your skin better
glowing!
SaunaSpa's Saunas use Far Infrared energy to penetrate the body's
tissue to a depth of up to 21/2". Tests have shown that the energy
output is tuned so closely to the body's own radiant energy that our
bodies absorb as much as 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin.
By comparison, conventional saunas must rely only on indirect means of
heat: first, on convection (air currents) and then, conduction (direct
contact of hot air with the skin) to produce its heating effect. The
SaunaSpa operates at temperatures of 110 to 150 F versus 180 to 234 F
for hot-air saunas. Since conventional saunas require 30 to 90 minutes
of warm-up before use, electricity costs are reported substantially
higher than those of SaunaSpa's Saunas which are ready to use in 20 to 40 minutes.
