The New Year is here! It’s a time to reset, recharge, and focus on your health goals. Whether you’re detoxing from holiday cravings or committing to daily self-care, 2025 is your year to reach your full potential. And what better way to start than transforming your home into a health and wellness sanctuary? Infrared saunas go beyond comfort. They’re a powerful tool to help you take control of your health. They help you detoxify, relax, and recover. 

Instead of just heating the air, infrared saunas work deep within your body. They help your blood flow better, reduce inflammation, and support your overall health. If you’re ready to feel energized and balanced, this might just be the tool you need to achieve your wellness goals.

But not all saunas are created equal. Choosing the right sauna is about more than finding a space to sweat. The technology behind sauna heaters matters. The placement of heaters, the type of infrared wavelengths used, and the design all impact your results. 

Clearlight®️ saunas are leading the way with innovative, science-backed features designed to maximize your health benefits. Let’s go over the details to help you make an informed decision.

Clearlight’s True Wave Far-Infrared Heaters: The Power of Design

Question 1: Where are the heaters and how does infrared work to heat the body?

Jen’s Answer: Clearlight®️ saunas use patented True Wave far-infrared heaters. They are designed with a unique combination of ceramic and carbon materials. This blend delivers powerful, deep heat while remaining efficient and safe.

Here’s how Clearlight’s far-infrared heater technology works:

• Strategic Placement: Far-infrared heaters are positioned on the walls, bench, and floor. This ensures that every part of your body benefits from the infrared heat. Its direct, straight-line emission focuses on your core, rather than the surrounding air.
• Safety Features: The far-infrared heaters are designed to be safe to touch. They don’t get hot enough to burn you.
• Health Benefits: Far-infrared heat penetrates deeply into muscles and tissues. This aids in detoxification, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation. 

There are some other good and not-so-good sauna companies available on the market. Here are a few of the detailed comparisons I’ve written to see how they stack up against other brands. If you’re interested in understanding the differences, you’ll find more information there. However, when I mention features, I am always generally referring to Clearlight®️ saunas.

Full Spectrum Sauna Heaters: Versatility and Speed

Question 2: Where are the Full Spectrum heaters, and what is it?

Jen’s Answer: Clearlight’s Full Spectrum heaters take things to the next level with a mix of near, mid, and far-infrared wavelengths. This combination delivers fast heat and a wide range of therapeutic benefits.

• Placement: Two silver towers glow at the front of the sauna. They’re strategically positioned to provide balanced heat intensity.
• Control Panel Functionality: You can adjust the intensity of the heaters to suit your preferences. Whether you want a mild heat or a deep sweat, it’s up to you.
• Safety Note: Unlike far-infrared panels, full spectrum heaters get hot to the touch. Handle with care and enjoy their quick, effective heating capabilities.

I also get asked a lot about the difference between full spectrum heaters and red light therapy. Full spectrum is a heater combining near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths, producing heat. On the other hand, red light therapy is not a heater. It is a super bright red panel designed to penetrate the skin and muscle tissue. While they share some overlapping benefits, they are not the same. I’m not going to dig into that now, but here is an article I’ve written about it.

Why Clearlight®️Infrared Sauna Heaters Stop at Shoulder Level

Question 3: Why are most sauna heaters all the way up the wall, versus Clearlight’s cut off at shoulder level?

Jen’s Answer: Most sauna brands place heaters all the way up the walls, heating the air above your head. But Clearlight®️ does things differently, and for a good reason. Their heaters stop at shoulder level, focusing on your body where it matters most.

Here’s why this matters:

• Scientific Rationale: Infrared heat travels in a straight line. This means that it needs to be aimed directly at your body to be effective. Heating the air above your head wastes energy and reduces the sauna’s efficiency.
• Safety Considerations: Keeping the heaters below shoulder level ensures your head stays cooler. This prevents discomfort and overheating during longer sessions.
• Design Intentions: Clearlight®️ saunas prioritize efficiency and user comfort. It follows wellness principles to give you the best healing experience.

The Far infrared wavelength is what we call the workhorse wavelength. It’s the longest wavelength and digs deepest into the skin and muscle tissue.  In my opinion, this wavelength is the most beneficial for detoxification, reducing inflammation, and healing because it penetrates the body most effectively. 

While full spectrum heaters are fantastic and have their benefits, the far infrared is, for me, the most beneficial wavelength for overall health. However, our health goals and needs may differ and what’s beneficial for me may not be the same for you. So, it’s important to consider your unique health goals when choosing a sauna.
