Full Spectrum Far Infrared Sauna There's nothing quite like a 45-60 minute Infrared Sauna session to relax and relieve sore muscles and improve overall health.
Our Infrared Sauna is a 4 person state of the art full spectrum Sunlighten TM mPulse and includes a touch screen of six preset programmes for detoxification, circulation/cardiovascular, pain relief, relaxation, weight loss, and skin health programs. The Benefits Throughout hundreds, if not thousands of years cultures have used heat therapy for healing, cleansing, and purification. Today, with modern knowledge and technology, heat therapy has created Far Infrared Saunas the most beneficial and effective type of Sauna there is. Infrared saunas use heating panels that emit light instead of convection and conduction (like other saunas) to warm your skin & increase your body's core temperature, enabling your body to detox and release stored toxins. Saunas that use infrared technology leave you feeling refreshed, revitalised, not depleted and drained as conventional saunas do. There's simply nothing better. |

FAQ Infrared Sauna
What will I experience
A relaxation of the muscles is the first thing people notice after an Infrared Sauna session. The dry heat of our infra-red sauna penetrates deeper into the body, resulting in a concentrated detox and deeper level of activation. Tension melts away and deep penetrating heat soothes aches and pains. Regular use results in deep, healthy sweats that purify the body and improve circulation.
Many people notice that their skin is clearer and they sleep better after the first session. You will feel recharged and glowing after this spa treatment.
We provide some wellness tea (for a small additional price) and complimentary water but you may feel your body needs extra hydration or an electrolyte drink which you are more than welcome to bring along.
Enjoy a sauna session alone or bring your partner, friends or workmates along. You can even listen to some music or that Podcast you’ve been meaning to catch up on, with Nova’s water resistant bone conducting ear phones available to hire (100% cleaned after every use).

Sauna Etiquette
What is Far Infrared
Far infrared (FIR) is a subdivision of the electromagnetic spectrum that has been used globally for centuries and has been extensively researched for its biological effects. Technological advances provide new techniques for delivering FIR energy to the human body. Specialty lamps and FIR saunas, delivering pure FIR have become more safe, extremely effective, and widely used sources to generate its therapeutic effects. Here’s a fantastic journal article about it if you want to read more.
Infrared heat has been used in health and human movement applications for many years. The infrared sauna is different from traditional saunas as it uses infrared lamps to directly heat your body instead of heating the air around you. Saunas with infrared technology (like ours at Nova Holistic Spa) operate at a lower temperature (usually between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit) than traditional saunas, which are typically 150 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. According to FIR Sauna manufacturers, an infrared sauna heats the air about 20% and heats your body about 80%. With FIR you benefit from a more intense sweat and you can last longer in the sauna which means your body has more time to really sweat out any toxins.
Because it's on a spectrum, infrared has its own range of waves. Based on size, frequency, and energy, there are 3 types of infrared radiation: near (NIR), mid (MIR), and far (FIR). Every infrared ray does something unique for our bodies, and nature.

- Near-infrared light penetrates effectively into the skin, promoting skin renewal, cell health, wound healing, and tissue growth.
- Mid infrared is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the body’s soft tissue where inflammation occurs. Helps expand blood vessels and increases circulation, so more oxygen can reach injured areas of the body. This reduces pain and speeds the healing process.
- The longest wavelength, far infrared, reaches deepest into the body, where toxins are stored. By raising your core body temperature, FIR stimulates the sweat glands, causing a deep, detoxifying sweat that leaves you feeling refreshed. Besides burning calories, sweating also increases your heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate.
