The Best Infrared Sauna in La Jolla
Experience the ultimate sweat in La Jolla with Livkraft’s full-spectrum Clearlight infrared saunas. While traditional sauna’s heat the air, our saunas utilize Clearlight's rue Wave™ Full Spectrum heating system to provide all wavelengths 100% of the time during your session heat, detoxify and energize our bodyies. Infrared light (experienced as heat) is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum with the ability to penetrate human tissue. Clearlight's full spectrum Infrared technology works to raise the core body temperature from the inside out, raising our core body temperature to produce a deep and detoxifying sweat.
Saunas cause reactions similar to those elicited by moderate exercise, such as vigorous sweating and increased heart rate. An infrared sauna produces these results at lower temperatures than does a regular sauna, which makes it accessible to people who can't tolerate the heat of a conventional sauna or are simply looking for a quick recovery session with little down time.

PROCESS
@LIVKRAFT
Please arrive 10 – 15 minutes before your first appointment in order to fill out the required paperwork. When you have completed the intake form and waivers, a LIVKRAFT team member will check you in and walk you back to one of our Float Suites once the room is available and prepared for your treatment. Once you enter the suite feel free to lock the door for privacy (we have constant communication through our integrated intercom system when you are in the FloatPod and the ability to enter the room in case of an emergency). In the room you will find a shower, 2 towels, earplugs and Vaseline. Goggles are available upon request.
Please follow these steps once you have undressed:
- Quickly rinse off with a warm shower. Be sure to dry your feet and use caution walking around the room after your shower.
- Cover any open wounds or cuts with Vaseline as the high concentration of salt can be very uncomfortable.
- Place earplugs in both ears. If you request goggles, put the goggles on prior to entering the FloatPod.
- Enter the FloatPod using caution.
- Take a few minutes to find the most comfortable position for your body. We have floating neck pillows in case of any neck discomfort. Some people experience neck discomfort during their float session if they are unable to fully relax and fail to trust that their head will remain above the water when fully committing to the Float and letting go of all muscular tension.
- We offer the option of experiencing guided meditation for the first 10 minutes of your treatment. If you would like this option as part of your treatment, please let a LIVKRAFT team member know prior to your treatment.
- Through our Intercom system we will let you know when you have 5 minutes remaining in your float and will alert you when the session has completed.
- Be sure NOT TO TOUCH YOUR EYES at any time during the treatment or before you shower after the treatment. THE SALT WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT IRRITATION. If salt does get in your eye at any time exit the FloatPod and use the shower to rinse your eyes immediately.
- Once your float session is completed, enjoy a shower, dry off, get dressed and check out at the front desk with a LIVKRAFT team member.
- Enjoy the rest of your day!

What is the Infrared Sauna process at Livkraft?
Please arrive 10 – 15 minutes before your first appointment in order to fill out the required paperwork. A LIVKRAFT team member will guide you through how to control the temperature, lights, connect to Bluetooth or use the iPad for your enjoyment. We do advise the use of the heat safe for any electronics when you are actively using your device. Please be advised that prolonged use of any device during a session may result in overheating of the device and that the device itself may get extremely hot. We advise limiting the consistent use of devices to a maximum of 3-5 minutes. Of course, you can choose to turn down the lights, turn off the screen and fully disconnect. At the conclusion of your session we recommend rinsing off in the private shower found inside your Infrared Sauna suite. After that, dry off and enjoy the rest of the day!

Why use an Infrared Sauna?
Our Infrared Saunas in La Jolla, are potentially seven times more effective at detoxification than traditional saunas, releasing 20% toxins and 80% water during each sweat, compared to 3% toxins and 97% water in traditional saunas. Clearlight's TRUE WAVE technology heats the body directly to raise core body temperature, lower blood pressure and aid in weight loss. Our full-spectrum infrared saunas emit three wavelengths: near, mid, and far. Near Infrared (NIR)
Near-infrared wavelengths are the shortest, penetrating the surface of the skin. Near-infrared is beneficial for skin issues and shallow body pain, promoting skin rejuvenation, tissue growth, and wound healing. Mid-Infrared (MIR)
Mid infrared wavelengths penetrate deeper into the body’s soft tissue, targeting the muscles, joints and tendons. Mid-infrared waves help to increase circulation and blood flow, reducing muscle and joint pain. Far infrared wavelengths (FIR)
Far-infrared waves are the longest wavelength, penetrating deep into the body where toxins reside. Far infrared waves work to raise the core temperature and heart rate, resulting in the greatest levels of detoxification, producing a cleansing sweat

How can you get the most out of a sauna session?
For a full comprehensive guide to sauna benefits and tips for getting the most out of your sauna session, click here.
- Hydration is key for safety and session optimization. Proper hydration allows your body’s processes to work efficiently to maximize detox and cardiovascular benefits. Bring a glass or metal water bottle to fill with water and trace minerals or electrolytes for before, during, and after your session
- Take a quick warm shower before your session. This can speed up your sweat in an infrared sauna by opening the pores on your skin and relaxing your muscles. Think of it as a “warm up” for your session.
- Whole Body Cryotherapy or an Ice bath before your IR sauna session can increase the circulation of all the “fresh” blood that just was brought to you by the cold therapy.
- Dry Brush. Before your session, spend 3-5 minutes dry brushing to amplify your sweat. Dry brushing increases circulation, encouraging the detoxification process
- Rinse off. Take a cool shower post sauna session to close pores. This will stop you from sweating and reabsorbing toxins you just released

What’s the difference between a regular sauna and an infrared sauna?
A traditional sauna (dry sauna) utilizes wood, gas, or electric stove with heated rocks to create a very low humidity environment with temperatures between 180 - 200° F. While the benefits are similar in terms of sweat, detox, relief of muscle tension, and increased circulation; those with certain medical issues may not tolerate the extreme temperature.
+
What is the difference between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna?
Both steam and infrared saunas are fantastic methods of heat therapy with different mechanisms utilized to achieve the desired results. The main goal here is passively increasing circulation in the body.
The incredible aspect of Infrared Saunas is that the heating source is infrared light (near, mid or far) which penetrates the skin, muscles and even into our cells. This raises our core body temperature to produce sweat to cool the body vs. our body strictly reacting to
the outside ambient air temperature of a dry sauna or steam. The more tolerable and comfortable temperature allows for longer session times. That means IR saunas give your body more time experiencing a deep detoxifying sweat, more time your muscle and joints are receiving helpful infrared rays and more time your skin is being revitalized by the infrared light waves.
Our Clearlight Full Spectrum Sanctuary Best Infrared Sauna La Jolla experience includes an iPad for your customized entertainment, medication, or music selection. We advise you to take electronics in the Sauna at an absolute minimum as they will get hot to the touch and may potentially cause burn if they are exposed to the heat for too long. We suggest to get your perferred show, music, or activity set up prior to starting your session. In our regular sized sauna, place the iPad in the heat safe box to the right of the door. In our XL Infrared Sauna, place the iPad positioned to your desired angle on the outside suction cup holder.
Being able to enjoy amenities like this is another key difference between the Best Infrared Sauna in La Jolla and traditional steam rooms.
As always, consult with a qualified medical professional before participating in any type of IR sauna, steam or Dry sauna session.
