Infrared Sauna
Our advanced infrared sauna in St Albans offers a modern approach to deep relaxation, detoxification, and recovery. Unlike traditional steam or dry saunas that heat the surrounding air, infrared technology works by gently warming the body from within. This makes the experience more comfortable while delivering targeted benefits for circulation, skin health, and overall vitality.
At HEAL Wellness Clinic in St Albans, the infrared sauna therapy is part of our wider holistic wellness environment. Whether you are looking to ease muscle tension, support recovery after exercise, or simply enjoy time for yourself in a restorative setting, our team ensures every session feels purposeful and effective. With professional guidance and a calm, spa-like atmosphere, clients leave feeling lighter, refreshed, and re-energised.
What is an Infrared Sauna?
An infrared sauna uses invisible wavelengths of light to gently heat the body from within rather than warming the surrounding air. This creates a deep, penetrating warmth that raises core temperature while keeping the air at a more tolerable level than in a conventional sauna.
At HEAL, we use a premium full spectrum infrared system designed to deliver the therapeutic benefits of near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths. Each session provides an efficient, comfortable, and rejuvenating experience, giving you access to one of the most effective wellness tools available in the UK.
Benefits of Infrared Sauna
The growing popularity of infrared saunas in the UK is rooted in their wide-ranging advantages. Infrared sauna benefits include support for both body and mind, with clients at HEAL experiencing improved energy, easier recovery, and deep relaxation after even a single session.
Key Benefits of Infrared Sauna Include:
- Deep Cellular Healing – Infrared light penetrates the body to support cellular repair and regeneration, promoting overall wellness and recovery.
- Detoxification – Stimulates deep perspiration, helping the body eliminate toxins, heavy metals, and impurities.
- Muscle Recovery & Pain Relief – Increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and eases soreness and stiffness, ideal for athletes or those with chronic pain.
- Skin Health & Anti-Aging – Boosts circulation and collagen production, promoting clearer, healthier-looking skin.
- Stress Reduction – Lowers cortisol levels and triggers endorphin release, creating a relaxing, restorative effect.
- Improved Circulation – Enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body to support vitality.
- Immune Support – Heat exposure stimulates immune function and resilience.
- Weight Management Support – Infrared heat increases metabolism, aiding calorie burn and energy balance.

Conditions Infrared Sauna Can Support

What to Expect During Your Session
We want every visit to HEAL to feel safe, welcoming, and nourishing. Here’s what you can expect from your infrared sauna session:
During the session
The infrared sauna gently warms your body with infrared light, creating deep, penetrating heat that is comfortable and soothing. Sessions typically last 20–45 minutes, with first-time clients starting at 20–25 minutes to allow the body to adjust. Operating at a gentle 45–60°C (113–140°F), it provides effective warmth without the intense heat of traditional saunas.
Tip: For enhanced results, the infrared sauna therapy can be combined with other services at HEAL, such as cryotherapy or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Is Infrared Sauna Safe?
Infrared saunas are safe for most people when used under professional guidance. At HEAL, all sessions take place in a clean, private environment, with staff available to answer questions and ensure your comfort.
Infrared saunas are generally well tolerated, though they may not be suitable for those with certain health conditions, like uncontrolled blood pressure, serious heart issues, or pregnancy. Before your first session, we’ll guide you through a brief health check to ensure the sauna is right for you. If you have any concerns, consulting your healthcare provider is recommended.
