Infrared Sauna Capsule: what it is and who it’s for
The Revolutionary Pro capsule combines dry infrared warmth with color light in a private, lie-down session. You lie back for 30 minutes while infrared elements warm you directly, rather than heating the air around you the way a traditional hot-air sauna does.
It is for anyone who enjoys warmth and wants a quiet half hour: at the end of a busy week, alongside a red light session, or as the calm close to a facial visit. It is a warm, relaxing session, not a medical treatment. It is not suitable during pregnancy, with a heart condition or high blood pressure, or for anyone who does not tolerate heat well.
The sauna capsule is private, so there is no shared room and no waiting for a bench. Sessions last 30 minutes, pricing is quoted in spa, and we will help you plan how a capsule session fits with cold therapy or light treatments on the same visit. Drink water before and after, and tell us if anything feels too warm.
Infrared Sauna Capsule benefits
Private
A capsule for one, so the session is quiet and entirely yours.
Dry, gentle warmth
Infrared elements warm you directly rather than heating the air, which many people find gentler than a traditional sauna.
Color light
Soft color light runs through the session for a calm, spa-like atmosphere.
Easy to pair
Book it on the same visit as a red light session or a facial, and we will plan the order and timing with you.
How an infrared capsule works
A traditional sauna heats the air, and the air heats you. Infrared elements work differently: they emit infrared energy that the skin absorbs as warmth, so you feel heat on the body while the air around you stays more moderate. The Revolutionary Pro pairs that dry warmth with color light in a lie-down capsule for a private 30-minute session.
Warmth makes most people sweat, so water matters: drink before and after, and stop the session if you feel dizzy, faint or unwell. Heat also raises heart rate, which is why the capsule is not suitable for anyone with a heart condition or high blood pressure. Infrared sessions are popular for relaxation, and research on regular sauna use continues, but the capsule is a wellness experience, not a medical treatment, and we make no health claims for it.
What to expect during your infrared sauna capsule
Before
Drink a glass or two of water beforehand, and skip alcohol and heavy meals before your session. Tell us about pregnancy, a heart condition, blood pressure, a pacemaker or metal implants, epilepsy or light sensitivity, or any trouble with heat. You change in private, and we show you how to settle into the capsule and how to end the session.
During
You lie back for 30 minutes as the warmth builds gradually and the color light runs. Most people begin to sweat partway through. Breathe slowly, relax and listen to your body; if you feel too warm, dizzy or uncomfortable at any point, end the session and step out.
After
Sit for a few minutes and let your body cool down gradually before you get dressed. Drink water to replace what you lost through sweating; a lukewarm shower later is fine once you feel cool. There is no downtime, though some people like to keep the rest of the evening quiet.

Infrared Sauna Capsule FAQs
How much does an infrared sauna capsule session cost?
Capsule sessions are offered as packages and priced in spa, so the simplest way to get a current quote is to call the spa or ask about packages when you book.
What is the downside to an infrared sauna?
Heat is demanding on the body. The main risks are overheating, dehydration and feeling lightheaded, especially if you stay in too long, skip water or drink alcohol beforehand. We keep sessions to 30 minutes and ask you to hydrate, and the capsule is not suitable during pregnancy, with a heart condition or high blood pressure, or if you are sensitive to heat.
Are infrared saunas worth the money?
It depends on what you want from it. If you value a quiet, private, warm half hour and will use it regularly, it can be a worthwhile ritual. If you are hoping for a medical result, it is not the right purchase, because it is a wellness experience rather than a treatment. Try a session first and decide from there.
Why not shower after infrared sauna?
There is no rule against it. The usual advice is simply to wait: let your body cool down for a few minutes first, then choose a lukewarm shower rather than a very hot or ice-cold one. Drink water at the same time, since you will have been sweating.
How long is an infrared capsule session?
Thirty minutes in the capsule. Allow a little extra time before and after to change, drink water and cool down at your own pace, so the visit never feels rushed. If you are pairing it with a facial or a light session, we will tell you how long to set aside.
Can I use the infrared capsule if I am pregnant?
We ask pregnant clients not to use the capsule. The same applies to anyone with a heart condition, high blood pressure, epilepsy or light sensitivity, a pacemaker or metal implants, or a condition that makes heat hard to tolerate. If you are unsure, check with your physician first.
Can I combine the infrared capsule with other treatments?
Yes. You can pair a capsule session with a red light session or a facial on the same visit. We plan the order and timing with you, keep each step short, and make sure you have time to rest, drink water and return to a comfortable temperature before you leave.
