Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, an infrared sauna uses infrared light waves to heat your body directly from the inside out. This allows for a deeper, more effective sweat at lower, more comfortable temperatures.
Sessions run at 110–150°F — far more tolerable than a conventional steam sauna — making it accessible even if you've never used a sauna before.
At DASH, we offer 25 and 45-minute sessions, available as a standalone service or paired with your haircut or NSHR appointment.
The Science
Infrared light penetrates the skin and raises core body temperature, triggering the same deep sweat response as moderate exercise.
The Difference
Traditional saunas heat air to 180–200°F. Infrared saunas achieve the same deep sweat at 110–150°F — more comfortable, longer sessions, deeper results.
The Result
Muscle recovery, stress relief, improved circulation, and skin health — backed by consistent use over time.
The Experience
You'll enter a private sauna cabin and have time to relax as the temperature builds. The first 10–15 minutes are a warm-up — you may not sweat right away. That’s normal. By the midpoint, most people are in a full sweat. First-timers often start at the lower temperature range to get comfortable with the experience.
We offer three ranges based on your preference and tolerance: 110–120°F for beginners or a gentle session, 120–140°F for a moderate, effective sweat, and 140–150°F for an intense, deep-sweat session. We’ll set it based on what you’re after.
Sessions are available in 25 or 45 minutes. We recommend 45 minutes maximum per session. A 25-minute session is a solid starting point if you’re new to infrared saunas.
If you’re new, 1–2 times per week is a great starting point. Regular users typically go 3–4 times per week to maintain and build on results. Listen to your body — consistency over time is what drives the real benefits.
About Infrared Saunas
An infrared sauna uses infrared light waves — the same type of warmth you feel from sunlight — to heat your body directly, rather than heating the surrounding air. This produces a deep, penetrating sweat at temperatures far lower than a traditional sauna.
Traditional saunas heat the air around you to 180–200°F, which can feel harsh and difficult to breathe in. Infrared saunas operate at 110–150°F, heating your body directly from the inside out. The result is a more comfortable experience with an equally — or more — effective sweat.
Regular infrared sauna use is associated with deep sweating and detoxification, muscle recovery and reduced soreness, stress reduction and improved sleep, better circulation, and improved skin tone and clarity. Results build with consistent use over time.
Preparations & Safety
Hydrate well before you come in — at least 16–32 oz of water beforehand is ideal. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior. Eat a light meal rather than a heavy one. Wear minimal, loose-fitting clothing or a towel. We’ll have water available for you during your session.
Rehydrate immediately after — your body has just lost a significant amount of fluid. A cool or lukewarm shower within 30 minutes is recommended to help your body regulate temperature. Light stretching is a good way to take advantage of the increased muscle flexibility from the heat.
Infrared saunas are generally safe for healthy adults. However, consult your healthcare provider first if you have heart conditions or high blood pressure, are heat-sensitive or have a fever, have metal implants or a pacemaker, or are pregnant. If at any point during a session you feel dizzy, nauseous, or uncomfortable, exit the sauna immediately.
End the session. There is no benefit to pushing through discomfort. Step out, hydrate, and let us know. Your safety comes first, always.
Your Results
Before. You’ll be sweating, and a fresh cut deserves a clean canvas. For NSHR clients specifically, we always recommend the sauna before your hair system appointment — not after.
Some benefits are immediate — most people leave feeling relaxed, with clearer skin and reduced muscle tension. For deeper, lasting results like improved circulation, weight management support, and long-term stress reduction, regular use over time is what produces real change.
