Infrared Sauna — 30 Minutes

A 30-minute session in an infrared sauna that uses infrared light to heat the body directly rather than heating the surrounding air. The lower ambient temperature compared to traditional saunas makes the experience more tolerable for many users while still promoting deep sweating and the associated benefits of heat exposure.

Infrared saunas differ from traditional Finnish saunas by using infrared light panels to heat the body directly through radiant energy, rather than heating the air to extreme temperatures. The result is a lower ambient temperature (typically 45-65°C compared to 80-100°C in a traditional sauna) while still elevating core body temperature sufficiently to induce profuse sweating. The physiological response to infrared sauna includes increased heart rate (comparable to moderate-intensity exercise), vasodilation, and activation of sweat glands. Research has explored potential benefits including improved cardiovascular function, reduced muscle soreness, enhanced recovery from exercise, mood improvement, and support for detoxification through sweating. Some studies have examined infrared sauna use in the context of chronic pain conditions and cardiovascular health markers, though the evidence base continues to develop. At One Thirty Labs, the 30-minute infrared sauna session is priced at 345 DKK — one of the more affordable modalities on the menu. It pairs naturally with cryotherapy (contrast between extreme heat and cold), compression therapy, or red light therapy for a multi-modality recovery session. The lower operating temperature makes infrared sauna accessible to individuals who find traditional saunas uncomfortably hot, including those who are new to heat exposure therapy. Sessions are bookable online through the One Thirty Labs website. The studio recommends hydrating well before and after the session.
