Science-Backed Infrared
What Is Infrared Heat?
Infrared heat is a spectrum of Invisible light energy that warms the body directly rather than heating the surrounding air.
This allows sauna sessions to operate at lower ambient temperatures while still delivering deep, effective heat to the body.
Infrared wavelengths are commonly categorised into three ranges:
• Near Infrared
• Mid Infrared
• Far Infrared
Modern full spectrum sauna systems combine these wavelengths to create a balanced heating profile.
At the core of every Solace sauna is a state-of-the-art full spectrum infrared heating system.
This technology combines multiple infrared wavelengths to deliver a balanced and effective heat profile throughout the body.
Our system includes high-performance FAR infrared panels that produce deep penetrating heat designed to support circulation, relaxation, and recovery.
The heaters are carefully positioned throughout the sauna to create even heat distribution without uncomfortable hot spots.
Step inside a Solace sauna and the difference becomes immediately clear.
Within minutes, advanced infrared heaters begin warming the body with deep, consistent heat designed to support detoxification, relaxation, recovery, longevity and wellbeing.
Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air to extreme temperatures, infrared heat penetrates deeper while maintaining a more comfortable environment.
The result is a sauna session that feels more natural and more effective.
Far Infrared Heating
Far infrared wavelengths are particularly effective at producing deep penetrating heat.
These wavelengths help warm muscles and tissues beneath the skin while maintaining a comfortable sauna environment.
For this reason, FAR infrared heaters form the foundation of most advanced infrared sauna systems.
Why Infrared Saunas Are Different
Unlike traditional saunas that rely on extremely hot air temperatures, infrared saunas warm the body directly.
This approach allows users to enjoy longer, more comfortable sessions while still experiencing the benefits of heat therapy.

Full Spectrum Sauna Technology
Full spectrum saunas combine multiple infrared wavelengths to produce a broader heating effect across the body.
By combining FAR infrared heating panels with additional infrared wavelengths, the sauna experience becomes more balanced and effective.
The Health Benefits of Full Spectrum Infrared Therapy
Full Spectrum Infrared combines Near (NIR), Mid (MIR), and Far (FIR) wavelengths — delivering a broader range of physiological effects across the body.
Each wavelength interacts differently with tissue, allowing Full Spectrum systems to support skin-level, muscular, and deep systemic responses simultaneously.
Rather than relying on a single pathway, Full Spectrum Infrared provides a layered therapeutic effect — from surface-level cellular activity to deep core temperature elevation.
Cellular Function & Skin Health (Near Infrared – NIR)
Near Infrared operates at shorter wavelengths and interacts primarily at the skin and cellular level.
Research into infrared radiation shows that shorter wavelengths can influence cellular activity and biological processes, including mitochondrial function and tissue response. (PMC)
This supports:
* Skin health and rejuvenation
* Cellular repair processes
* Improved tissue oxygenation
* Surface-level circulation
NIR is commonly associated with photobiomodulation-style effects, contributing to how the body adapts and repairs over time.
Muscle Recovery, Circulation & Joint Support (Mid Infrared – MIR)
Mid Infrared penetrates deeper into soft tissue and muscle structures, supporting circulation and recovery processes.
Infrared therapy has been shown to:
* Improve blood flow and vascular function
* Reduce muscle tension and stiffness
* Support joint mobility and recovery
Infrared wavelengths transfer energy into subcutaneous tissue without excessive surface heating, enabling effective therapeutic heat delivery. (PMC)
This makes MIR particularly valuable for:
* Active individuals and athletes
* Injury recovery
* Musculoskeletal support
Deep Detoxification & Cardiovascular Response (Far Infrared – FIR)
Far Infrared forms the foundation of infrared sauna therapy, penetrating deeper into tissue and raising core body temperature.
Clinical research shows FIR therapy:
* Improves cardiac and vascular function
* Reduces oxidative stress
* Supports circulation and metabolic activity (PMC)
FIR is responsible for:
* Sustained deep sweating
* Detoxification processes
* Cardiovascular stimulation (similar to moderate exercise)
* Heat shock protein activation and systemic adaptation
Full Spectrum Advantage: Multi-Layered Physiological Response
By combining all three wavelengths, Full Spectrum Infrared delivers a comprehensive therapeutic effect:
* NIR → Skin, cellular activity, surface-level repair
* MIR → Muscles, joints, circulation
* FIR → Core temperature, detoxification, cardiovascular response
Together, these create a stacked effect across multiple biological systems — rather than relying on a single mechanism.
Full Spectrum systems are designed to:
* Provide more complete tissue interaction
* Deliver both surface and deep thermal effects
* Support broader recovery and wellness outcomes
Circulation, Recovery & Adaptation
Infrared sauna use (including full spectrum systems) has been associated with:
* Improved circulation and vascular health
* Enhanced exercise recovery and reduced soreness
* Improved stress regulation and relaxation response
* Better metabolic and cardiovascular markers (VERVE Fitness)
Consistent exposure trains the body to better manage:
* Heat stress
* Circulatory demand
* Recovery processes
* Nervous system balance (GOAT Wellness)
