IS INFRARED HEAT SAFE?

Infrared heat is completely safe. In fact, it is so safe that hospitals use similar heaters to warm newborns.

To experience far infrared heat right now, take your hands and put your palms together. Move your hands about 1/2 an inch apart, and you will feel warmth emanating from your palms. This is far infrared heat, very similar to the infrared heat emitted from Jacuzzi® True Wave™ heaters. Radiant far infrared is all around us and is absolutely essential for human life.

Jacuzzi® infrared saunas use low-EMF True Wave™ Carbon/Ceramic heaters that produce invisible, far infrared heat. This is the same type of heat as produced by the sun and our bodies. In an infrared sauna, only 20 percent of the energy is used to heat the air, leaving the rest of the energy to heat the body. The radiant heat can penetrate deep below the skin producing a gentle warming inside the body. The temperature inside an infrared sauna is adjustable and averages 100°F to 130 °F. These lower temperatures allow you to sweat faster and to tolerate a longer sauna session offering greater therapeutic benefit. Typical sessions last 20 – 45 minutes and can be repeated twice during the day to maximize the benefits.
