What is Infrared?

Sunlight is a blend of both visible and invisible light, encompassing all the colors of the rainbow, along with infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths that are not visible to the naked eye. Among these invisible rays, far infrared is particularly beneficial to our bodies, as we naturally produce far infrared. When exposed to sunlight, far infrared penetrates deep into the skin, helping to break down unwanted substances accumulated in the body. These rays possess the ability to revitalize cells and boost metabolism.

Far Infrared

Far infrared waves penetrate deeply into our bodies, stimulating sweat glands, which are vital for toxin elimination. The skin, often referred to as the body's "third kidney," is an important organ for expelling waste through sweat. Far infrared therapy is one of the most effective ways to facilitate detoxification. Bring the therapeutic benefits of far infrared into your home with an infrared sauna from One Person Sauna.

Research by S. Inouye and M. Kabaya has shown that far infrared can cause vibrations in human tissue, similar to those produced by the body itself. This vibration breaks down water molecules, releasing trapped gases and toxins that are then expelled from the body.

Full-Spectrum Infrared

Full-spectrum infrared therapy encompasses near infrared, mid infrared, and far infrared wavelengths. With all three, you’ll experience maximum health benefits from your OnePersonSaunas infrared sauna.

  • Near Infrared: The shortest wavelength, absorbed just beneath the skin's surface, encouraging sweat and promoting healing.
  • Mid Infrared: A slightly longer wavelength that penetrates deeper into soft tissues, enhancing circulation and oxygen delivery to muscles and tissues.
  • Far Infrared: The longest wavelength, which reaches fat cells, encouraging vasodilation, toxin release, and boosting metabolism to support weight loss.

The sun is the primary source of radiant energy, but not all sunlight is beneficial. While sunlight is essential for life, excess exposure can harm the skin. Infrared heat offers all the benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of UV rays.

Why Infrared Technology?

Our infrared heaters are carefully tuned to the body’s natural radiant energy, allowing your body to absorb up to 93% of the far infrared waves that reach your skin. In contrast, traditional saunas rely on convection and conduction, heating the air before it heats the body. OnePersonSaunas infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures (100°F to 125°F), providing a more comfortable and energy-efficient experience compared to traditional saunas, which typically operate at 180°F to 220°F.

Infrared saunas are ready to use in just 10-15 minutes, while traditional saunas can take 30-90 minutes to warm up. Additionally, infrared saunas are more energy-efficient, reducing electricity costs.

Infrared vs Traditional Saunas

OnePersonSaunas infrared saunas use ultra-low EMF heaters that produce far infrared heat, similar to the heat produced by the sun and the human body. Unlike microwaves, infrared heat is completely safe. About 20% of the energy in an infrared sauna is used to heat the air, while the remaining energy is used to warm the body directly. This deep, radiant heat offers a more comfortable, therapeutic sauna experience.

With temperatures adjustable between 100°F to 130°F, infrared saunas allow for faster sweating and longer sessions, leading to greater therapeutic benefits. Typical sessions last 20-45 minutes and can be repeated to maximize health improvements. Unlike traditional saunas, which can leave you feeling drained, infrared saunas leave you feeling refreshed and invigorated.
