in Portsmouth, NH
Thrive Med Spa + Wellness offers the restorative benefits of infrared sauna therapy to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. This modern approach to heat therapy uses infrared light to gently warm your body from the inside out, promoting deep relaxation and detoxification. Step into our private sauna suite to unwind, rejuvenate, and support your body’s natural healing processes.
What Is an Infrared Sauna?
An infrared sauna uses special light-based heaters to generate infrared light. This light penetrates human tissue, raising the body’s core temperature directly without significantly heating the surrounding air. This process induces a deep, detoxifying sweat at a more comfortable temperature than traditional steam or rock saunas.

Immediately after your session, you will likely feel deeply relaxed and refreshed. Some people experience a healthy glow and feel lighter due to the release of toxins and muscle tension.

Infrared Sauna FAQs
How is an infrared sauna different from a traditional one?
An infrared sauna uses infrared light to heat your body directly, while a traditional sauna heats the air around you. This allows for a deeper sweat at a lower, more comfortable ambient temperature.
What should I wear during my session?
Most clients wear a swimsuit or undergarments, while others prefer to use the provided towels. Your session takes place in a completely private room, so you can wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
How long does a typical session last?
A standard infrared sauna session at our facility lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. This duration is effective for achieving relaxation and detoxification benefits without over-exerting the body.
How often should I use the infrared sauna?
The ideal frequency depends on your individual wellness goals. Some clients benefit from one session a week for detoxification, while others may come in monthly for maintenance and relaxation.
Can I combine a sauna session with other treatments?
Absolutely. An infrared sauna session is an excellent precursor to a 60 Minute Signature Massage, as it helps relax muscles, or a HydraFacial, as it opens up pores for a deeper cleanse. Our team can help you create a customized spa day.
