What is an Infrared Sauna?

An Infrared Sauna uses light-based heat to warm the body directly, rather than heating the air like traditional saunas. GOAT Wellness uses full-spectrum infrared saunas that target near, mid, and far wavelengths to promote deep tissue recovery, detoxification, and relaxation.

How often should I use the Infrared Sauna?

For recovery and wellness benefits, 2–4 sessions per week are ideal. Athletes or those with chronic inflammation may benefit from daily use. Consistency enhances results like improved circulation, detox, and pain relief.

What should I do after my Infrared Sauna session?

Hydrate immediately after your session to replenish fluids and support detoxification. Continue hydrating throughout the day and avoid alcohol or heavy meals post-sauna for best results.

Can Infrared Sauna help with cellulite or skin tone?

Yes. Infrared light stimulates collagen production, boosts circulation, and supports lymphatic drainage—all of which help improve skin tone, elasticity, and the appearance of cellulite over time.

Can I use the Infrared Sauna if I have implants or had recent surgery?

Yes, in most cases—but consult your doctor first if you’ve had recent surgery. Silicone implants and joint replacements are typically safe at normal sauna temperatures, but fresh incisions must be fully healed before use.

How many calories can I burn in an Infrared Sauna session?

An average 30–40 minute session can burn between 400–600 calories. The increase in heart rate, circulation, and sweating mimics the effects of moderate cardiovascular exercise.

Does the Infrared Sauna help with stress or sleep?

Yes. Infrared heat lowers cortisol levels while boosting serotonin and endorphins. Regular sessions promote deeper relaxation, better mood balance, and improved sleep quality.

Is there anyone who shouldn’t use an Infrared Sauna?

Infrared Saunas are generally safe for most people, but are not recommended for those who are pregnant, have uncontrolled blood pressure, severe cardiovascular issues, or open wounds. Always consult a doctor if unsure.

What’s the difference between Infrared and traditional saunas?

Infrared saunas heat the body directly using light, while traditional saunas heat the air around you. Infrared provides a more comfortable temperature (120–150°F) with deeper muscle penetration and detox benefits.

What should I expect during a GOAT Wellness Infrared Sauna session?

You’ll enjoy a private sauna suite stocked with towels and water. Each session lasts 30–45 minutes, with Bluetooth speakers inside the sauna for music or podcasts. You’ll sweat deeply while relaxing in complete comfort—recharging both body and mind.

Why Chicago Chooses GOAT Wellness

Benefits of Infrared Sauna

SUPPORTS

CIRCULATION

As the body warms, blood vessels expand and blood flow increases—helping support the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

PROMOTES
MUSCLE RECOVERY

Deep, penetrating heat warms muscles and tissues, helping the body recover after training, physical activity, or the demands of everyday life.

ENCOURAGES RELAXATION

Comfortable, sustained heat gives the body an opportunity to slow down and unwind—supporting relaxation and a shift away from constant stimulation.

HELPS RELIEVE MUSCLE TENSION

Infrared heat warms muscles and surrounding tissues, helping tight, overworked areas feel more relaxed and less stiff.

SUPPORTS
SKIN HEALTH

Infrared heat supports circulation to the skin, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients that support healthy-looking skin and overall tissue quality.

SUPPORTS HEALTHY BODY FUNCTION

By supporting circulation, relaxation, and the body's natural response to heat, infrared sauna helps create favorable internal conditions for recovery and everyday function.

How Full-Spectrum Infrared Works

Unlike traditional saunas that primarily heat the air around you, infrared uses wavelengths of light energy to deliver heat more directly to the body.

The Clearlight® True Wave™ Full-Spectrum Infrared system combines near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths. Each operates within a different wavelength range and interacts with the body differently—creating a more complete infrared experience.

NEAR INFRARED

0.75–1.5 microns

Skin + Superficial Tissue

The shortest infrared wavelengths interact primarily with tissues closer to the skin's surface. Near infrared is associated with cellular activity, skin health, tissue repair, and collagen production.

MID INFRARED

1.5–5.5 microns

Circulation + Tissue Warmth

Mid infrared reaches beyond the surface and is associated with increased circulation and tissue warmth—helping support oxygen delivery, muscle recovery, and physical comfort.

FAR INFRARED

5.5–1000 microns

Deep Warmth + Heat Response

Far infrared produces the deep, sustained warmth most commonly associated with infrared sauna, supporting circulation, relaxation, and the body's physiological response to heat.

Powered By True Wave™ Technology

Clearlight® True Wave™ heaters combine carbon and ceramic technologies to deliver high-output infrared heat across the body while maintaining low-EMF/ELF levels.

The heater design is engineered for efficient infrared delivery and a more consistent, deeply warming experience—bringing together advanced heater technology and full-spectrum infrared in every session.

What To Expect During Your Infrared Sauna Session

Your infrared sauna session is completely private, customizable, and designed to be comfortable from start to finish.

Before Your Session

At your first visit, we’ll show you how to control the sauna, adjust the temperature and Medical Grade Chromotherapy, and connect to the Bluetooth speaker system.

Towels and water are provided, so all you need to do is show up ready to relax.

During Your Session

Your body will gradually warm as it absorbs infrared energy. You may sweat heavily, lightly, or not until later in your session—and that’s completely normal.

Infrared isn’t about how much you sweat. Everyone responds to heat differently, and sweating is not a measure of how effective your session is.

For greater infrared exposure, wear minimal clothing or expose as much skin as comfortably possible. You’re completely alone in the sauna, so you can settle in and make the session your own.

You control the experience. Adjust the temperature, change the chromotherapy lighting, listen to your own music, or simply unplug. If you become too warm, lower the temperature or briefly open the door.

After Your Session

Stay hydrated before, during, and after your sauna. If you sweat heavily, consider replenishing electrolytes as well.

You may continue to feel warm or perspire lightly afterward, so loose, breathable clothing is a good choice.

Most importantly, give your body time to cool down and enjoy the transition out of the heat.
