Medical Infrared Sauna in Salt Lake City.
Not a steam room. Not a dry sauna. A medical-grade infrared sauna that uses light to heat your body from the inside out — in a private room at Elite Spa Utah in Salt Lake City.
Different from the Sauna
You've Used Before.
Here's Why It Works.
A traditional sauna heats the air around you. An infrared sauna uses specific wavelengths of light to heat your body directly — the way sunlight warms your skin on a cool day, without the UV. The result is a deeper sweat at a lower, more comfortable temperature.
Medical-grade infrared goes further. Full-spectrum technology combines near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths — each reaching a different depth of tissue. Near infrared works at the surface for skin and cellular repair. Mid infrared penetrates soft tissue for pain and inflammation. Far infrared reaches deep muscle and joint tissue to release what's stored there.
At Elite Spa Utah in Salt Lake City, your session happens in a fully private room — no shared space, no strangers. You arrive, you sweat, you leave feeling like something actually happened.
Pain & Muscle Relief
Infrared heat reaches deep into muscle and joint tissue, reducing inflammation and easing the kind of persistent soreness that doesn't respond to surface-level treatment.
Detox Through Sweating
Your body eliminates waste through sweat. Infrared produces a deeper, more sustained sweat than conventional heat — more of what your body actually needs to clear.
Stress & Sleep
The sustained heat drives a parasympathetic nervous system response — the same state your body needs to recover and sleep. Most people leave noticeably calmer.
Circulation
Your heart rate rises gently, blood vessels dilate, and circulation improves throughout the session — with effects that carry over for hours after you leave.
Skin Health
Near-infrared wavelengths support collagen production and skin cell turnover. Regular sessions show measurable improvements in texture, tone, and clarity over time.
Post-Massage Recovery
Infrared heat before or after your massage extends what the work accomplishes. Muscle tissue stays more open, tension returns more slowly, and the session holds longer.
What You Can
Book at Elite Spa Utah.
Infrared Sauna Session
A standalone session in our private infrared sauna room. Full-spectrum infrared technology, your own space, your own pace. Book online and show up — we'll handle the rest. Call us if you have questions about session length or what to expect your first time.
Sauna + Massage Pairing
Combine your infrared sauna session with a massage at Elite Spa Utah on the same visit. The two work well together — infrared heat opens tissue and prepares the body so your massage therapist can work more effectively, and the results of both hold longer. Book your massage online and call us to coordinate your sauna session on the same day.
Regular Sessions
Most of the benefits of infrared — skin health, sleep, circulation, pain management — build with consistent use. Clients who come in regularly see results that a single session can't produce. Ask about session availability and what a recurring schedule looks like for your goals.
Your First Session,
Step by Step
01
Arrive & Check In
When you arrive at Elite Spa Utah, we'll get you oriented — what to bring in, how the room works, and what to expect during the session. No special preparation required. Drink water before you come in.
02
Your Private Room
You'll have the sauna room entirely to yourself. No shared space. The infrared panels surround you on multiple sides — you can sit, lie back, stretch, or simply be still. The temperature is set to an effective range before you arrive.
03
The Session
Within the first several minutes, you'll begin to sweat — deeper than you're used to. The heat is steady, not aggressive. Most people feel the shift in their body around the midpoint: muscles loosen, the mind slows, breathing deepens.
04
After You're Done
You'll cool down, rehydrate, and feel the difference. Most clients notice a calm that lasts well beyond the session itself. If you paired it with a massage, you'll feel both working together. Drink plenty of water for the rest of the day.
Why They Work
Better Together
Massage and infrared sauna address the same problems — pain, tension, stress, poor circulation — through different mechanisms. When you use them on the same visit, each one amplifies what the other does.
Infrared heat relaxes muscle tissue before your therapist touches it. Tight, guarded muscles that resist pressure become more open and responsive. Your therapist can work more effectively, reach deeper layers with less effort, and address problem areas that normally take the whole session just to access.
After your massage, infrared helps clear what was released during the session — metabolic waste, lactic acid, inflammation byproducts — so the relief holds longer. Call us to coordinate both on the same visit.
Opens Tissue Before Massage
Heat prepares tight muscles so your therapist can reach deeper from the first touch — not the last ten minutes.
Clears What Massage Releases
Post-massage infrared moves inflammation and metabolic waste out faster, extending how long the results hold.
Doubles the Relaxation Response
Both modalities shift your nervous system toward rest and recovery. Together, that shift is deeper and lasts longer.
Coordinate Both in One Visit

Questions About
Infrared Sauna
in Salt Lake City
Common questions from people considering their first infrared sauna session at Elite Spa Utah.
A regular sauna heats the air in the room, which then heats your body from the outside. Infrared uses specific wavelengths of light to heat your body directly — similar to how sunlight warms you without heating the air around you. This means you sweat more deeply at a lower, more tolerable temperature. The penetration depth is also different: infrared reaches muscle, joint, and soft tissue rather than just warming the skin surface.
Session length depends on your goals, your tolerance to heat, and whether you're pairing it with other services. We'll talk through what makes sense for you when you call or arrive. If it's your first session, shorter is better — your body needs time to adapt. Most people find their natural rhythm after a few visits. Call us at (801) 839-8880 and we'll help you figure out what works.
Drink water before you arrive — hydration matters more in infrared than in a regular sauna because you sweat more deeply. Avoid a large meal in the hour before your session. Wear or bring lightweight, loose clothing you're comfortable sweating in. That's it. We'll orient you when you arrive and answer any questions before you go in.
For most healthy adults, yes. Infrared is non-invasive and doesn't use UV radiation. That said, if you have a heart condition, are pregnant, have a medical implant, or are on certain medications that affect heat tolerance, you should check with your doctor first. If you're unsure whether it's appropriate for you, call us and we can talk through what you're working with.
Yes, and it's one of the more effective combinations we offer. The two work well together — infrared heat opens muscle tissue so your massage therapist can work more deeply, and post-massage infrared helps clear inflammation and extend the results. Book your massage online through our booking link, then call (801) 839-8880 to coordinate your sauna session the same day.
It depends on what you're using it for. For general wellness and stress, once or twice a week produces noticeable effects over time. For specific goals like skin improvement, pain management, or post-workout recovery, more frequent use tends to compound the results. We can talk through a realistic schedule when you come in or give us a call.
Always. Your session is in a fully private room — no shared facility, no other clients in the space. You have the room entirely to yourself for the duration of your session.
