Q: What is the difference between infrared saunas and other types of saunas?
A: Infrared saunas use infrared heaters to directly heat the body from the inside out, rather than heating the surrounding air. This leads to a deeper heat penetration to promote more efficient sweating and detoxification. Due to the deeper penetration, infrared saunas can operate at much lower temperatures for the same or better results.
Q: Am I able to do contrast therapy with pre-existing health conditions?
A: While The Heat Lab provides many health benefits, we do recommend consulting your physician prior to use, especially those with pre-existing health conditions. Do not use while pregnant, intoxicated, or predisposed to bleeding. Those with a fever, insensitivity to heat, or a pacemaker should avoid sauna usage. If you are on prescription medications, sauna usage may also alter the medication’s effect.

Q: Do I need to completely submerge in the cold plunge to get its benefits?
A: A common beginner mistake with cold plunging is not submerging deep enough. For maximum benefits, you’ll want to submerge deep enough for the cold water to reach the vagus nerve located near your collarbones.
Q: What are your Cold plunge Cleaning protocols?
A: Our tubs are equipped with a built-in water care system featuring a high-efficiency filter and UV light sanitation—engineered to keep water clean, clear, and ready for back-to-back use.
Q: Is it true I am still burning calories up to an hour after my session?
A: Yes! In response to the cold water, your body works in overdrive to reheat itself through a process called thermogenesis which can cause a 350% boost in metabolism! We encourage you to not step back into the sauna or take a warm shower for at least 30-60 minutes post cold exposure to allow your body to complete the natural reheat process and achieve maximum results.
