Full-spectrum infrared heat that reaches deeper than traditional saunas – loosening tight muscles, calming your nervous system, and leaving you clearer than when you walked in.
A traditional steam sauna heats the air around you. Our full-spectrum infrared sauna heats you directly penetrating muscle tissue, joints, and connective tissue at a cellular level while keeping the ambient temperature comfortable enough to stay longer and go deeper.
Sunlighten™ is the most clinically studied infrared sauna brand in the world, with SoloCarbon® full-spectrum heaters producing near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths each targeting a different layer of the body. Near infrared supports skin and cellular health. Mid infrared penetrates deeper into soft tissue and circulation. Far infrared reaches muscle, joint, and detoxification processes at a systemic level.
The result is a session that works harder for your body than a traditional sauna at a temperature you can actually relax in.
Infrared heat penetrates up to 1.5 inches below the skin's surface, reaching muscle tissue that traditional heat never touches. Tension releases. Soreness drops. Range of motion improves, often noticeably within a single session.
Your heart rate rises during an infrared session similarly to moderate exercise, improving circulation and cardiac output without putting mechanical stress on your joints or muscles. It's one of the few recovery tools that actively works your cardiovascular system while you sit still.
Infrared-induced sweat contains a higher concentration of toxins than sweat from exercise alone. Your pores open fully, your lymphatic system activates, and your body clears what it's been holding - gently, and without harsh heat.
The sustained, enveloping warmth of an infrared session shifts your nervous system from sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic (rest-and-digest). Most members describe walking out noticeably calmer - not tired, calm. There's a difference.
Infrared heat raises your core body temperature slightly, mimicking the early stages of a fever, which is your body's natural immune activation response. Regular sessions have been associated with improved immune resilience over time.
Near-infrared wavelengths stimulate collagen production and accelerate cellular turnover, supporting clearer skin and faster surface-level healing. The full-body sweat clears pores in a way topical products simply can't replicate.
A session in the infrared sauna is one of the most comfortable recovery experiences in the studio - no harsh heat, no pressure, just sustained warmth that works from the inside out. Before you arrive, drink a full glass of water. Your body will lose significant fluid through sweat and you'll feel the session more fully if you're starting hydrated.
Sessions run 20–40 minutes depending on your goal and tolerance. Infrared warms your body directly rather than superheating the air around you, so the experience feels more like a deep, enveloping warmth than the sharp heat of a traditional steam sauna. Most people find it far more comfortable and are surprised by how much they can sweat at a lower ambient temperature.
You'll continue to sweat for several minutes after your session - this is normal and a sign the infrared is still working. We'll have cold towels waiting for you, and water available throughout the studio. Give yourself 10 minutes before rushing back into the world. Most members describe the post-session state as deeply calm, mentally clear, and physically lighter.
Whether you're training hard or just getting back into a routine, infrared sauna accelerates the muscle repair that happens between sessions. Most athletes use it the day after a hard workout when soreness peaks and recovery matters most.
Infrared heat reaches the places foam rollers and stretching don't. If you carry tension in your shoulders, deal with recurring back tightness, or manage chronic inflammation - this is a tool with real, documented clinical support.
Regular infrared sauna use has been associated with improved sleep quality, clearer skin, and stronger immune response over time. If your goal is long-term wellness rather than immediate performance, this is one of the most effective weekly habits you can build.
Sitting for hours compresses the spine, tightens the hips, and keeps your nervous system running hotter than it should. Twenty minutes in the infrared sauna is the fastest way to undo what eight hours at a desk accumulates. You'll leave looser, calmer, and clearer.
Infrared sauna is safe and well-tolerated by most healthy adults. If any of the following apply, please consult your physician before booking: Pregnancy; Implanted electronic devices (pacemakers, defibrillators); Active cardiovascular conditions Fever or acute infection; Sensitivity to heat. Our staff is happy to answer questions before your first session.
The most researched recovery combination available. The sauna opens blood vessels, raises core temperature, and loosens muscle tissue. The cold plunge immediately drives vasoconstriction and a powerful circulatory rebound. Alternating between the two amplifies the recovery benefits of both and produces a mental clarity that neither delivers alone. Start warm, end cold and give yourself 15–20 minutes in each.
Heat loosens the muscle tissue; compression clears the metabolic waste that accumulates in it. Together they create a complete flush-and-repair sequence, particularly effective for lower body recovery after long training sessions, runs, or time on your feet. Do sauna first, compression second.
Both modalities work at the cellular level - infrared through heat penetration, red light through photobiomodulation. Together they support collagen production, cellular repair, and tissue regeneration more effectively than either does alone. An ideal combination for members focused on skin health, joint recovery, or long-term cellular wellness.
Infrared sauna sessions at Body Reset Recovery are available in Clinton, MD – serving Prince George’s County, Charles County, and Southern Maryland.

Q: What is infrared sauna therapy?
A: Infrared sauna therapy uses radiant heat at specific wavelengths to penetrate skin and soft tissue more deeply than traditional steam saunas. Body Reset uses Sunlighten™ full-spectrum infrared saunas, which heat the body directly rather than heating the air around it. This produces a deep, therapeutic sweat at lower ambient temperatures – typically between 120°F and 150°F – that loosens tight muscles, improves circulation, supports detoxification, and activates the cardiovascular system.
Q: How is infrared sauna different from a regular sauna?
A: Traditional saunas heat the air around you to very high temperatures (up to 195°F), which heats the body indirectly. Infrared saunas use light wavelengths to penetrate skin and tissue directly, producing a deeper therapeutic effect at lower ambient temperatures. Most people find infrared saunas more comfortable and tolerable, particularly for longer sessions.
Q: How long is an infrared sauna session at Body Reset?
A: Sessions typically run 20–45 minutes depending on your goals and tolerance. First-time visitors generally start with 20–30 minutes.
Q: What should I do before and after an infrared sauna session?
A: Hydrate well before your session – your body will lose significant fluid through sweat. Wear light clothing or swimwear, or bring a towel to sit on. After your session, rehydrate immediately and allow your body 10–15 minutes to cool down. Many members pair their sauna session with a cold plunge for a contrast therapy effect.
Q: Is infrared sauna safe?
A: Infrared sauna is safe and well-tolerated by most healthy adults. If you have implanted electronic devices (pacemakers, defibrillators), active cardiovascular conditions, are pregnant, or have a fever or acute infection, please consult your physician before booking. Body Reset staff is happy to answer any questions before your first session.
Q: What are the benefits of regular infrared sauna use?
A: Regular infrared sauna use is associated with reduced muscle soreness, improved cardiovascular circulation, support for detoxification through sweat, better sleep quality, reduced cortisol levels, and improved skin health. A 20-year longitudinal study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found regular sauna use associated with significantly reduced cardiovascular risk.
