The ultimate science-backed method for recharging, recovering and seeing real results, you’ll leave your perfectly heated IR sauna chamber feeling like anything is possible – every time.
Our Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas are the perfect combination of science and innovation for achieving optimal revitalisation results. The equipment uses special heating elements to emit infrared light that gently raises our body’s core temperature. This light is similar to the light we see with our eyes, however it’s invisible and creates the perfect environment for total body rejuvenation.
Whether your goal is peak physical performance or just an hour of ultimate mindful relaxation, R/Labs state-of-the-art IR saunas (and our further selection of innovative treatments) can help you reach new heights.

01 / Weight loss
Just by relaxing in one of our infrared saunas for a single 45-minute session, your body will burn up to 600 calories. You’ll also receive an unrivalled metabolism boost - meaning you’ll burn more fat, faster.
02 / Pain management
Time in an infrared sauna has been known to relieve chronic pain caused by arthritis, back injuries and fibromyalgia. The heated experience can also ease the general aches and pains often suffered by sedentary professionals.
03 / Stress and sleep
The infrared sauna is quality time for you and your body. Our saunas may help to decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol, decrease blood pressure and enhance your sleep patterns with regular usage.
04 / Sports recovery
The heat from our infrared saunas penetrates your muscles to increase blood circulation and assist in efficient repair. It can also help to reduce lactic acids and soothe sore, tired and damaged muscles.
05 / Anti-ageing and skin health
Infrared saunas can help your skin retain a youthful, fresh appearance that’s free from blemishes. Infrared heat has been clinically proven to reach deep into your skin, removing the toxins that clog pores and speed up the ageing process.
06 / Detoxification and healing
Sweating is an important natural detoxification process that removes built-up toxins and chemicals from our body’s vital systems. Infrared saunas detoxify seven times more than traditional saunas, encouraging deep and profound healing.

Have some questions?
What’s the difference between infrared saunas and traditional saunas?
The main difference between infrared saunas and traditional saunas is the temperature. While traditional saunas usually range from 78 to 90 degrees, IR saunas sit around 40 to 60 degrees. This makes the experience suitable for those who don’t tolerate heat well.
Infrared saunas also make you sweat differently to regular saunas. In IR saunas, only 80 to 85% of your sweat is actually water – the rest is STET cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins, heavy metals, sulfuric acid, ammonia and uric acid, giving your body the ‘deepest clean’ possible.
How often should I visit R/Labs for an infrared sauna treatment?
We recommend visiting RLabs for an infrared sauna treatment two to three times a week for optimal results. However, the frequency will depend on your individual goals – for example, you may need more sessions if you’re wanting to lose weight or recover from sport.
