What is an Infrared Sauna?
Before we break down the benefits of combining heat and cooling therapies, it’s important to understand how the treatment works. Our sweat and chill services start with a session in our infrared sauna. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas use light waves (or infrared waves) to generate heat. This allows the sauna to heat your body directly, as opposed to just heating the surrounding air. Here are some top benefits of infrared saunas:
- Detoxification: The high heat opens pores, which encourages sweating and helps flush out unwanted toxins.
- Increased metabolism: Increased sweating burns calories, which in turn improves metabolism.
- Pain relief: Heat is known to improve blood flow, which is linked to pain relief and muscle relaxation. Increased blood flow also improves circulation and reduces inflammation.
- Better skin: As the heat penetrates your skin, it reduces cellulite and encourages collagen production, leading to a rejuvenated, refreshing look.
- Reduced stress: The relaxing, warm atmosphere of an infrared sauna can reduce stress hormones, leaving you feeling happier and healthier.
Whether you want to improve your physical health through detoxification or enjoy a mood boost, our infrared sauna in Naples can help.
What is Whole Body Cryotherapy?
Once you’ve completed your infrared sauna session, the next step is whole body cryotherapy. Here, you’ll step away from the heat and embrace a winter wonderland by entering our cold chamber. Prepare for a few minutes of extreme chill as our chamber drops all the way to -220º F (-140º C). As temperatures fall, you’ll enjoy the following benefits:
- Burn Calories or Boost Metabolism: The cold temperatures increase your metabolic rate, helping you burn calories.
- Reduced Inflammation: Cold temperatures reduce inflammation and pain while increasing energy and muscle recovery.
- Immune system benefits: When you exit the chamber, the sudden temperature increase causes blood to flow to your brain and extremities. Increased blood flow improves cellular, organ and immune system function.
- Better skin: While in the chamber, blood flow to the skin is temporarily reduced. Upon leaving the chamber, blood flow increases, leading to the cryotherapy glow. As a bonus, blood boosts repair of damaged cells and leads to new collagen production for healthier, younger looking skin
- Improved mood: Cryotherapy promotes the release of dopamine in the brain, a neurotransmitter that boosts mood and helps regulate sleep.
After just one whole body cryotherapy session, you’ll enjoy both physical and mental benefits that will have you feeling and looking better than ever.
Sweat and Chill: Combining the Benefits of Infrared Saunas and Cryotherapy
Both infrared saunas and cryotherapy offer several holistic wellness benefits on their own. So, why not combine them and experience the best of both worlds? That’s exactly what our sweat and chill sessions are all about.
You’ll start with a quick, relaxing session in our infrared sauna. Set the mood with chromotherapy (or color therapy) and your choice of music, meditation app or stream your favorite show. Slowly, you’ll begin feeling calming pain relief, as well as reduced stress. These benefits continue as you move over to our cold chamber, where the intense chill will further reduce pain and encourage muscle recovery. The subtle raise in temperature helps stimulate metabolism. During cryotherapy, your body temporarily preserves energy while in the chamber, but works hard to bring your body temperature up immediately after and uses fat stores as the energy source.
In addition to soothing muscles, this dynamic duo of heat and cold encourages weight loss. During the infrared sauna session, you’ll detox and sweat out toxins. Then, during cryotherapy, you’ll quickly burn calories, reducing body fat and giving yourself an extra, well-deserved boost of energy.
