Spas with Infrared Sauna in DC

About Infrared Sauna

Infrared saunas heat the body directly using infrared light rather than warming the surrounding air. This allows therapeutic temperatures of 120°F–140°F — significantly lower than traditional Finnish saunas — while penetrating 1.5–2 inches into tissue. The result is a deep, sustained sweat at a temperature most guests find more comfortable and sustainable than conventional sauna. Far-infrared wavelengths in particular have been associated with improved circulation, muscle recovery, and elevated core body temperature that supports immune function.
