Heat that reaches where hands cannot
A reset that begins at the cellular level. Unlike conventional saunas that heat the air, infrared technology penetrates up to 4cm into your body's tissues — warming from the inside out, activating deep healing at a temperature your body welcomes rather than endures.
The infrared sauna at Create Your Wellness is one of the most quietly transformative health tools available — and one that consistently surprises people who arrive expecting simply to sit and sweat. Unlike a conventional sauna, which heats the air around you to 80–100°C, infrared technology uses specific wavelengths of light to generate heat directly within the body's tissues, penetrating up to 4cm beneath the skin surface and warming the body from the inside out.
The result is a gentler, more comfortable environment that operates at lower temperatures (typically 40–60°C), while delivering physiological effects that are in many ways more profound. A single session initiates a cascade of beneficial responses: core temperature rises gently, blood vessels dilate, circulation increases, and the body enters a deep, sustained sweat. The nervous system, reading the warmth as a signal of complete safety, begins to down-regulate — shifting from the sympathetic activation of daily stress into the parasympathetic rest and repair state where real healing happens.
Our infrared sauna delivers all three wavelengths simultaneously — creating a layered, whole-body therapeutic experience from the skin surface to the deepest organ systems.
Closest to visible light, NIR penetrates the skin surface and acts at the cellular level: stimulating mitochondria to produce more ATP, activating fibroblasts to increase collagen production, and supporting wound healing and skin rejuvenation. This is the wavelength most associated with photobiomodulation — the therapeutic use of light energy to stimulate cellular repair.
MIR penetrates more deeply into soft tissue, reaching muscles, joints, and blood vessels. It is particularly effective for pain relief: increasing circulation to inflamed tissue, relaxing muscle spasm, and reducing the inflammatory mediators that sustain chronic pain. Ideal for those with persistent musculoskeletal concerns.
The deepest-penetrating wavelength, FIR stimulates a core temperature rise that closely mimics the physiological response to moderate aerobic exercise — raising heart rate, increasing cardiac output, dilating blood vessels, and significantly increasing sweating. The cardiovascular training effect of a 30-minute FIR session has been compared in some research to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise.
Each infrared sauna session initiates multiple healing cascades simultaneously — making it one of the most time-efficient wellness investments available.
Infrared sauna is one of the most comprehensively studied passive health interventions available, with a growing body of research across cardiovascular health, chronic pain, mental health, metabolic function, and longevity.
The infrared sauna is designed to be used before other treatments, where the deep tissue warmth and nervous system down-regulation it generates meaningfully enhances everything that follows. Sessions run 20 to 45 minutes.
Tissues pre-warmed by infrared allow far deeper access for your therapist — without the discomfort of cold-tissue deep work
Two of the most effective nervous system regulation tools — sauna prepares the system for even deeper float relaxation
The vasodilation and tissue warming from infrared enhances Qi and Blood flow, deepening the acupuncture response
Increased circulation brings a natural flush and skin receptivity — the perfect preparation for skincare actives
Continue your nervous system reset from heat into sound — a natural progression from one sensory dimension to another
Sauna pre-warms the body and initiates parasympathetic dominance — BioDrive® then takes this further with targeted biofeedback
Yes, significantly. A conventional sauna heats the air to 80–100°C, which you then absorb secondarily. Infrared uses specific wavelengths of light to heat your body tissues directly, penetrating up to 4cm beneath the skin. The operating temperature is much lower (40–60°C), making sessions far more comfortable while delivering effects in many ways more profound — including deeper tissue penetration and greater cardiovascular benefit for the equivalent time investment.
Sessions run from 20 to 45 minutes depending on your goals and tolerance. We recommend loose, comfortable clothing or a towel wrap. Bring water and allow yourself to sweat — that is the point. We provide towels and a post-session rest space.
Infrared sauna is safe for the vast majority of adults. We recommend consulting your GP before booking if you have cardiovascular conditions, are pregnant, have implanted medical devices, or are on medications that affect heat tolerance. Please ensure you are well hydrated before your session.
For general wellbeing and stress relief, 1–2 sessions per week is ideal. For specific therapeutic goals such as pain management, detoxification, or cardiovascular support, your practitioner will advise on frequency. Many clients begin with a single session before combining with other treatments for a comprehensive wellness programme.
