Frequently Asked Questions

 Unlike traditional steam saunas that heat the air, our infrared saunas use gentle infrared light to warm your body directly. This creates a deep, penetrating heat that promotes sweating, detoxification, relaxation, and improved circulation — all at a lower, more comfortable temperature. 

Sessions last a maximum of 40 minutes. This provides the full wellness benefits while keeping the experience safe and balanced.

Our saunas operate between 120°F – 150°F, which feels gentler than traditional saunas while still delivering powerful results.

Most clients enjoy 2–4 sessions per week, though daily use is safe once your body adjusts. We recommend starting slow and listening to your body. 

 Infrared saunas are safe for most people. However, individuals who are pregnant, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart conditions, or other medical concerns should consult their healthcare provider before use. 

Exit the sauna immediately, rest in a cool space, and hydrate. Please notify a staff member so we can assist you. 

Yes. All clients must sign required waivers and health consent forms before their first session. 

Hydrate before, during, and after your session to replace fluids lost through sweating. To support hydration, we offer filtered water, electrolyte powder, and LMNT drinks for purchase. 

Comfortable, breathable clothing or a swimsuit is recommended. You will be provided towels to sit on for hygiene. 

No — we provide fresh towels for every session.

Renu does not offer showers, but we provide premium biodegradable toxin free body wipes for your convenience after your session. These large, refreshing wipes are designed to leave you feeling clean and comfortable before heading out.  Did you know that shower immediately after a sauna session inhibits the body's natural detoxification system and natural cool down process.  It is best to wait 20 min post sauna before showering.  

We recommend leaving electronics outside, as heat may damage them. We offer Bluetooth in every sauna.

Yes! Each sauna has Bluetooth speakers so you can connect your device and enjoy music, podcasts, or meditations. Please keep the volume at a respectful level so as not to disturb other guests.
