While a "purging" period can occasionally happen as we clear deep congestion, our holistic approach focuses on calming the skin’s barrier first.

A: At Pure Skin Spa, incorporating an infrared sauna session before your facial enhances your skin’s health and overall treatment results. The gentle heat from the infrared sauna penetrates deeply to promote detoxification by increasing circulation and encouraging sweat, which helps remove toxins and impurities from the skin. This process also improves oxygen flow and nutrient delivery to facial tissues, resulting in a clearer, more radiant complexion. Additionally, infrared sauna therapy supports collagen production and reduces inflammation, which can diminish fine lines and promote skin rejuvenation. Relaxing in the sauna creates a calming experience that complements our chemical-free, organic approach, making your facial treatment more effective and deeply restorative.

This results in significantly less irritation, no risk of burns, and a much gentler experience for sensitive areas.
During the treatment, a licensed esthetician will use a special device with two wands or probes. They will a conductive gel to your skin and gently move the w over specific areas of your face and neck. Most people find the sensation mild and painless, often describing it as a subtle tingling slight warmth, with the treatment lasting between 60 to 90 minutes.
