Relax Saunas uses a patented dual FIR semiconductor system that emits near 100% pure far infrared energy. Unlike lower-quality infrared saunas that emit mixed wavelengths, our technology provides the highest quality far infrared absorption for deep detoxification, circulation improvement, and pain relief.

Far infrared energy penetrates deep into tissues, stimulating circulation, cellular repair, detoxification, and relaxation. Benefits include:

• Increased blood flow and oxygenation
• Enhanced muscle and joint recovery
• Reduction in inflammation and chronic pain
• Improved skin health and collagen production
• Boosted metabolism and weight management
• Stress reduction and better sleep

Both saunas use the same patented far infrared technology, but the Black Pro model features thicker, upgraded insulation that allows for faster heating, better heat retention, and shorter session times. It is ideal for professional use, such as spas and clinics, while the Silver Elite is designed for home use with excellent durability and performance.

The Black Pro model costs more due to its superior tent insulation, which enhances heat efficiency, retains heat longer, and allows for shorter session times. It’s built for high-traffic, professional use, making it more durable and efficient for frequent sessions.

Maintenance is easy.

•  Always use a towel to cover any area your body touches to soak up sweat.
•  Use a slightly damp with pure water cloth to wipe the interior of the sauna.
•  You can also let the sauna run for 5 minutes empty to "self-clean".
•  The foot pad between the two radiators can be removed and washed if necessary.
•  If dust builds up inside the radiator, you can use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust.

Relax Sauna is one of the few companies which has done certified, independent testing on their sauna and publicly published the results.

You can view the report here.

In the test, the maximum level of EMF recorded was 46.510 mG at 2 centimeters from the heater, which is much closer than your body is during use.

The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH®) standards for occupational exposure to EMF is 10,000 mG(milligauss).

Most saunas use large panels to generate the infrared. These panels have many wires of electric current and surround the body, thus creating a magnetic field around the body.

Relax Saunas have two far infrared radiators down below the feet. The electric current does not go near the body and thus EMF levels are low near the body and head when using.

Harmful levels of EMF are generally only seen near power lines and industrial equipment which uses far more power than a home device.

Relax Saunas are built from quality materials such as inert nylon and silver. The saunas are packed in clear plastic bags for shipping and may have slight "new car" smell when first opened. We suggest running the sauna for 30 minutes when you first set it up. This will disperse any remaining new car smell. After this, there is no off gassing or plastic odor. The materials in the sauna use materials with minimal off-gassing. Far below the levels of government standards and most carpets.

Yes, but with precautions. Children should use the sauna under adult supervision, with lower temperatures and shorter sessions (typically 5-10 minutes). Always consult a pediatrician before use.

Most users enjoy sessions between 15-30 minutes. If you're new to infrared therapy, start with 10-15 minutes and gradually increase. Hydration is key, so drink water before and after your session.

The sauna reaches a comfortable and therapeutic range of 140-170°F (60-77°C). Unlike traditional saunas that rely on air temperature, Relax Saunas work by heating the water molecules in your body. You can control the session duration and exposure by adjusting how long you stay inside.

Yes, too much exposure can lead to dehydration, dizziness, or fatigue. Stick to recommended session times and listen to your body. If you feel lightheaded or overly fatigued, exit the sauna and hydrate immediately.

• Stay hydrated before and after use.
• Avoid alcohol before sauna sessions.
• If pregnant or with a medical condition, consult a doctor first.
• Start with shorter sessions if new to infrared therapy.
• Take breaks if you feel overheated.

People with pacemakers or other implanted medical devices should consult their physician before using an infrared sauna. FIR therapy may interfere with electronic medical devices.

Children over 6 years old can use infrared saunas for short sessions (5-10 minutes) at lower temperatures, under adult supervision. Always consult a doctor for younger children.

Red light therapy and far infrared therapy both use light, but they work in different ways. Red light therapy uses visible red and near-infrared wavelengths that primarily affect the skin and mitochondria, promoting collagen production, reducing inflammation, and aiding cellular repair. However, it does not penetrate deeply. Far infrared, on the other hand, is an invisible wavelength that penetrates up to 1.5 inches into muscles and joints, heating the body directly. This deep heat stimulates circulation, improves detoxification, and relieves muscle tension, making it more effective for pain relief and full-body relaxation.

Not at all. Relax Saunas are energy-efficient and cost about the same as running a standard hair dryer or space heater. A typical 15-minute session uses around 1000-1500 watts, costing only 5 cents per use, depending on your local electricity rates. Even with daily sessions, the monthly cost is usually less than $1.50, making it a far more affordable option compared to commercial sauna visits.

Far infrared is a type of light, but it exists outside the visible spectrum, meaning the human eye cannot detect it. Unlike red light therapy, which emits a faint red glow, far infrared works by delivering energy that is absorbed directly by the body rather than producing visible light. You may not see it, but you will definitely feel the deep, penetrating warmth as your body absorbs the infrared energy.
