INFRARED SAUNA SESSIONS IN EDINBURGH
How does the infrared sauna work?
Our Sunlighten Series II infrared sauna uses infrared heat to gently warm the body. Many people find infrared sauna sessions deeply relaxing and enjoy them as part of a regular self-care routine.
Unlike a traditional sauna, which primarily heats the surrounding air, infrared saunas use infrared wavelengths to create a warming experience that many clients find comfortable, calming, and restorative.
At Solstice Wellness Centre, our infrared sauna sessions are offered for general wellbeing, relaxation, and self-care support.
Does infrared cause tanning or sunburn?
No. Infrared heat is different from the ultraviolet light associated with tanning or sunburn. Our infrared sauna does not produce UV light and will not give you a tan or sunburn.
If you have a skin condition, heat sensitivity, or any concerns about whether sauna use is suitable for you, please speak with your GP or relevant healthcare professional before booking.
What are the benefits of using the infrared sauna?
Many clients use infrared sauna sessions to unwind, rest, and create dedicated time for themselves. Some people also find sauna sessions helpful as part of a broader wellness routine that may include hydration, gentle movement, sleep support, nutrition, and stress management.
Individual experiences vary, and infrared sauna sessions at Solstice are not offered as a medical treatment for any condition.
What should I bring?
We provide water, and when available, electrolytes before your session. We also provide one cotton towel. If you would like a second towel, please ask before the start of your session.
Please arrive well hydrated and wear whatever will make you comfortable in a warm environment. Some people wear a swimming costume, while others prefer to be nude. The room is private during your session.
If you have booked a combined PEMF and infrared sauna session, you will usually begin with the PEMF mat. For the PEMF portion, you remain fully clothed. We ask that you remove your shoes before getting onto the table and avoid wearing anything restrictive.
After your sauna
There is no shower at Solstice Wellness Centre after your infrared sauna session. We suggest allowing yourself a little time afterwards to towel off, cool down gradually, rehydrate, and return gently to your day.
Is infrared sauna suitable for everyone?
Infrared sauna may not be suitable for everyone. Please let us know before booking if you are pregnant, feel unwell, are heat-sensitive, have a heart condition, have low or high blood pressure, are taking medication that affects heat tolerance, or have any other medical concerns.
If you are unsure whether sauna use is appropriate for you, please speak with your GP or relevant healthcare professional before booking.
Important note:
Infrared sauna sessions at Solstice Wellness Centre are offered for general wellbeing, relaxation, and self-care support. We do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, disorder, or injury. Infrared sauna is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from your GP, consultant, or specialist healthcare provider.
