Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, Infrared Sauna Therapy uses invisible light waves to penetrate beneath the skin’s surface. The result? A deeper, more targeted heat that promotes detoxification, pain relief, improved circulation, and cellular health—without the extreme temperature discomfort of a steam sauna.

At The Quad Studios in Sandy, UT, we use clinically proven infrared sauna systems from Sunlighten and Clearlight to provide full-spectrum benefits in a quiet, spa-like setting. Whether you’re recovering from intense workouts or fighting chronic inflammation, infrared heat offers one of the most efficient wellness solutions available.

How Infrared Works: Wavelengths That Heal

Infrared therapy operates using light in the far, mid, and near-infrared spectrum:

  • Near Infrared (NIR): Boosts cell regeneration and supports wound healing
  • Mid Infrared (MIR): Improves circulation and relieves soft tissue pain
  • Far Infrared (FIR): Promotes detoxification through deeper tissue penetration

This full-spectrum approach allows us to tailor each session to your needs—whether you’re seeking cellular energy restoration, improved skin tone, or muscular recovery.

Detoxification at the Cellular Level

One of the most acclaimed benefits of infrared therapy is its ability to support detoxification. Far infrared rays activate sweat glands more deeply than traditional heat sources, allowing for the release of heavy metals, petrochemicals, and other toxins stored in fat and tissue.

  • Studies show FIR can enhance mercury and arsenic elimination
  • Helps remove BPA, phthalates, and xenoestrogens linked to hormone disruption
  • Clients report clearer skin, improved digestion, and better sleep following a detox cycle

Sessions at The Quad Studios combine detox heat with chromotherapy lighting and curated music for a complete sensory experience.

Pain Relief and Inflammation Reduction

Infrared Sauna Therapy has been widely adopted by physical therapists and elite athletes alike due to its effectiveness in reducing inflammation and managing chronic pain.

By increasing blood flow and releasing endorphins, infrared heat can help:

  • Alleviate joint stiffness and arthritis-related discomfort
  • Relax tight muscles and fascia for mobility improvements
  • Speed up healing after injury or intense training sessions

For those with fibromyalgia, neuropathy, or back pain, this modality provides non-invasive, drug-free relief.

Mitochondrial Support and Energy Boost

Infrared light stimulates mitochondria—the energy-producing structures within our cells. This results in a boost in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which powers cellular repair and overall energy levels.

When practiced regularly, infrared sessions may improve endurance, enhance mood, and reduce brain fog—all key benefits for high-performing professionals and parents alike.

What to Expect at The Quad Studios

Our Infrared Sauna sessions are completely private and include eucalyptus towels, filtered water, and premium speakers. Each session is 30–45 minutes long and can be tailored to your detox, recovery, or relaxation goals.

  • Temperature controlled from 110–150°F (comfortably tolerable)
  • Zero EMF-certified cabin technology
  • Optional contrast with cold plunge for maximum circulatory benefit

And because the heat is radiant and gentle, it’s safe for most individuals—including those who find Finnish saunas too intense.

Local Benefits for Sandy, UT Residents

Whether you’re coming off a mountain hike in the Wasatch Range or just trying to recover from a long desk day, our studio is a peaceful escape. Infrared therapy helps local residents deal with air quality impacts, altitude shifts, and dry skin from Utah’s arid climate.

Summary

Infrared Sauna Therapy at The Quad Studios goes beyond relaxation—it’s a full-body upgrade for detoxification, pain relief, and energy. Experience the therapeutic difference light can make.
