What Are the Benefits of a Steam Sauna?
Come try the private steam saunas at i-float spa.
The sauna uses steam to soothe and heat you. This serves to increase circulation and open your pores to allow for gentle cleansing of your skin.
Additionally, the sauna is equipped with LED lights to help skin tone and SAD-seasonal affected disorder.

DURING
A full session lasts 30 minutes. When the session begins, it will take 2-5 minutes for it to reach its full heat. A staff member will be present to check on you during your session to see if you need any assistance or need to reduce the temperature.
When you enter the sauna, a towel will be placed on the seat to absorb perspiration during your session, and one around your neck area to minimize steam from escaping during the session.
If at any point you are feeling uncomfortable or too hot, please let us know when we come by the room to check on your session or we have a monitor at front desk so we can communicate during your sauna session. It is important to listen to your body and not overdo it.
Feel free to ask us for tips on how to improve your sauna experience.

After exiting the sauna, please use the provided towel to wipe any excess perspiration off your body before changing back into your clothes.
