Each session is 30 minutes in total - we recommend breaking this down to 19-22 minutes in the sauna followed by 1-5 minutes in the cold plunge. 57 minutes of sauna and 11 minutes of cold plunge per week is recommended for optimal results and this equates to roughly 3 Contrast Studio sessions.

We use Sunlighten’s hand-crafted infrared saunas; the safest saunas on the market!

Yes! Our saunas use the most effective and safe infrared heaters on the market. The EMF and ELF levels (radiation) in our infrared saunas are 3 – 5 times below the threshold of concern.

Color Light Therapy is a method of treatment that uses the visible spectrum (colors) of electromagnetic light to restore balance to one’s physiology. It is a centuries-old concept used successfully over the years to treat various diseases and ailments. Red light is a form of color light therapy and all of our saunas do have a red light option.

Proper sauna and plunge tub use is important; just like you warm up and prepare your body before a workout, there are a few basic steps you should take to guarantee maximum benefit out of your contrast therapy sessions.

• Drink a minimum of 8 oz. of water to prepare for an increase in core body temperature.
• Remove all jewelry and makeup prior to arriving at the studio. Both may cause burning of the skin when exposed to extreme heat.
• Keep the tech at home! Extreme temperatures may damage electronic devices.
• Replenish your body with proper hydration and electrolytes post-session. LMNT electrolyte packets are our favorite and are available for purchase at the front desk!

Due to the infrared light and cedar wood, our saunas are naturally antimicrobial, antibacterial, and anti-fungal. All rooms are cleaned and disinfected by the Contrast Studio team after every use.

Depending on location, we use XL Cold Plunges by Plunge and Alpine Cold Tubs by Chilly Goat to ensure the highest quality and comfort.

We currently offer 2 different session options. The water in a standard session ranges from 50-57 degrees Fahrenheit. The water in an advanced session ranges from 40-47 degrees Fahrenheit.

We circulate our water through three separate filtration systems as well as test the PH, alkalinity, and sanitation daily to ensure optimal levels at all times.

A common beginner mistake with cold plunging is not submerging deep enough. For maximum benefits, you’ll want to submerge deep enough for the cold water to reach the vagus nerve located near your collarbones.

Yes, infrared sauna usage does cause water weight loss. While that water weight will be regained upon rehydration, the calories burned are real! As you relax in the gentle heat of our saunas, your body is hard at work pumping blood, increasing circulation and producing sweat to cool you down. This results in a passive workout and high caloric burn!

Yes! In response to the cold water, your body works in overdrive to reheat itself through a process called thermogenesis which can cause a 350% boost in metabolism! We encourage you to not step back into the sauna or take a warm shower for at least 30-60 minutes post cold exposure to allow your body to complete the natural reheat process and achieve maximum results.

While our services provide many health benefits, we do recommend consulting your physician prior to use, especially those with pre-existing health conditions. Do not use while pregnant, intoxicated, or predisposed to bleeding. Those with a fever, insensitivity to heat, or a pacemaker should avoid sauna usage. If you are on prescription medications, sauna usage may also alter the medication’s effect.

Infrared saunas use infrared heaters to directly heat the body from the inside out, rather than heating the surrounding air. This leads to a deeper heat penetration to promote more efficient sweating and detoxification. Due to the deeper penetration, infrared saunas can operate at much lower temperatures for the same or better results.

One of the many perks of our Founding Memberships is the ability to use all Contrast locations! Monthly memberships have single location access and can only be used at the location it was purchased. Packages and gift cards can be redeemed at any location.

The “sweet spot” to achieve optimal results from contrast therapy is 57 minutes of heat and 11 minutes of cold per week. This equates to roughly 3 Contrast Studio sessions per week and anything less than that is leaving adaptation on the table. Selling any frequency less than that would be a disservice to you.
