INFRARED SAUNA FAQs

  • An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to warm your body directly rather than heating the air around you. That means it runs at a lower air temperature than a traditional sauna while still raising your core temperature and making you sweat. That is the mechanism. What it does for any individual is not something we claim.

  • Most guests come for the heat and the quiet. A session is time in a warm, private room where you sweat, slow down, and are unreachable for half an hour. People commonly build it into a weekly routine around workouts, a long day, or cold weather. How you feel afterward varies from person to person, so we describe the experience rather than promise a result.

  • The frequency depends on your health goals and how your body responds. Many people benefit from using an infrared sauna 2-3 times per week, while others may use it daily. It's essential to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare provider if you have any health concerns.

  • Wear as little as you are comfortable in. A swimsuit works well, or just a towel. SOLiX provides towels and a private room, so you can change here. Loose, breathable clothing afterward tends to feel best.

  • Infrared saunas are generally safe for most individuals. However, certain conditions—such as pregnancy, cardiovascular issues, or the presence of medical implants like pacemakers—may require caution. Consult with a healthcare provider before using an infrared sauna if you have any health concerns.

  • Yes, it's safe for most individuals with breast implants to use an infrared sauna. The materials used in implants have melting points much higher than the temperatures reached in an infrared sauna. However, it's advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

  • It's generally recommended that pregnant women avoid using infrared saunas due to potential risks associated with elevated body temperatures. Consult your healthcare provider before considering sauna use during pregnancy.

  • There is some evidence suggesting that exposure to heat stress, such as in a sauna, may temporarily affect sperm health. Men concerned about fertility should consult with a healthcare provider before using infrared saunas.

  • All electrical equipment emits some EMF. At SOLiX we chose low-EMF and ultra-low-EMF saunas specifically to keep those levels down. If EMF is something you pay attention to, ask a staff member which unit you are booked into.

  • We recommend avoiding bringing electronics into the sauna. The high temperatures may cause devices to overheat or malfunction. Plus, it's an excellent opportunity to disconnect and relax.

    • Listen to Your Body: If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or unwell, exit the sauna immediately and inform our staff.

    • Avoid Alcohol and Drugs: Do not use the sauna if under the influence.

    • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before and after your session.

    • Medical Conditions: Consult a healthcare provider if you have pre-existing conditions.

    • Rehydrate: Drink plenty of water to replenish fluids lost through sweating.

    • Rest: Allow your body to cool down and relax.

    • Moisturize: Use a natural moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.

  • Cleanliness is a priority for us. Sauna and light therapy rooms are cleaned and sanitized between guests, and equipment surfaces are wiped down after every session. We use non-toxic cleaners. If anything does not look right when you arrive, tell a staff member and we will take care of it before your session begins.

RED LIGHT THERAPY FAQs

  • Red light therapy delivers specific wavelengths of red and near infrared light to the skin from a whole-body system. The light is absorbed by cells, and what happens after that absorption is the subject of photobiomodulation research. That research is still developing, so we describe the mechanism rather than assert a result.

  • Guests usually book red light therapy as a short, comfortable session they add to a routine, often alongside sauna time. You stand or lie in front of a whole-body panel for a set number of minutes with eye protection on. It is quiet, it is not hot, and there is no downtime afterward. What people notice varies, so we describe the session rather than promise a result.

  • For optimal results, it's recommended to use red light therapy 2-5 times per week, depending on your wellness goals. Regular and consistent sessions often provide the best results.

  • A red light therapy session at SOLiX runs about 10 minutes. Staff will confirm the exact length for the bed and setting you are using when you check in.

  • Red light therapy is non-invasive and painless. Most people experience no side effects, although some may notice temporary redness or slight warmth on the skin. Always follow recommended session durations to avoid overexposure.

  • Red light therapy is generally safe for most people, but it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or those who are photosensitive due to medication or skin conditions. Consult with a healthcare provider if you have concerns.

  • We do not make claims about acne or any other skin condition, and red light therapy at SOLiX is not offered as a treatment for one. Skin conditions are a medical matter, and a dermatologist or your healthcare provider is the right person to advise you. What we can describe is the session itself: a set time under red and near infrared light in a private room, with eye protection provided. You are welcome to share that description with your provider before booking.

  • No, red light therapy does not tan the skin. Unlike UV light, red light wavelengths do not damage or darken the skin.

  • Yes, we recommend it. The panels are bright and eyewear keeps the session comfortable, particularly if you are sensitive to light. SOLiX provides protective eyewear at no charge, and you are welcome to keep your eyes closed as well.

  • Pregnant individuals should consult their healthcare provider before using red light therapy to ensure safety, as research on its use during pregnancy is limited.

  • Come with clean skin. Remove makeup, lotion, and sunscreen so nothing sits between the light and your skin. Take off jewelry, which can reflect the light and get warm. Wear as little as you are comfortable in to expose more skin, or a light, thin fabric if you prefer to stay covered. Drink water before and after.

  • That depends on the person, and we cannot predict it for you. Some guests say they enjoy the sessions from the first visit. Others use them mainly as scheduled time to slow down, and judge the value by how the routine fits their week rather than by a specific change. We do not promise results or a timeline, and we would be cautious of anyone who does.

  • While red light therapy is generally safe, overuse can cause temporary redness, fatigue, or mild discomfort. Following recommended session times and intervals is key to avoiding overstimulation.

  • Our whole-body systems emit 633 nm and 660 nm visible red light, and 810 nm, 850 nm, and 940 nm near infrared light. Longer wavelengths penetrate further into tissue than shorter ones, which is why multi-wavelength systems are common. We publish the specification so you know exactly what the equipment emits. We do not attach a claimed effect to any individual wavelength.

  • Yes. Our systems include blue light at 450 nm and green light at 532 nm alongside the red and near infrared wavelengths. As with everything we offer, these are wellness sessions rather than treatments, and we make no claims about acne, pigmentation, or weight. Staff can walk you through what each setting looks and feels like so you can decide what you want to try.

COMBINED USE FAQs

  • Yes. The SOLiX Duo session pairs an infrared sauna session with a red light therapy session in a single visit, sauna first. It is one booking rather than two, which is the main reason guests choose it.

  • Guests book the combined session because it lets them do both in one visit instead of two. The sauna time and the light session are sequenced back to back, with the sauna first. We are not claiming that combining them multiplies any effect. The honest benefit is practical: one booking, one trip, and about an hour set aside for yourself.

  • A SOLiX Duo session takes about 50 minutes: roughly 30 to 40 minutes in the sauna, then about 10 minutes of red light therapy.

    • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before and after your session.

    • Attire: Wear minimal clothing or a swimsuit; towels are provided.

    • Schedule: Allow for about an hour to complete the session and cool down afterward.

  • A few. Pay attention to how you feel during the session and step out if you feel lightheaded. Stay within the session lengths we recommend rather than stacking extra time. And if you are pregnant, take medication, or have a condition that heat or light exposure could affect, talk with your healthcare provider before booking a Duo.

  • We do not publish calorie figures for our sessions. The numbers circulated for sauna use are rough estimates that vary widely from person to person, and they are not something we can measure for you. If calorie expenditure matters to your goals, that is a better conversation to have with your healthcare provider or a qualified trainer.

SOLiX WELLNESS STUDIO FAQs

  • SOLiX is a dedicated red light therapy and infrared sauna studio in South Tulsa. It is not a day spa and not an add-on to a gym. We run low-EMF equipment, offer red, blue, green, and near infrared wavelengths on whole-body systems, and keep the rooms private and quiet. Memberships and Flex Plans let you use the studio at whatever pace suits you.

  • A SOLiX Single is one modality in a visit: either an infrared sauna session or a red light therapy session. A SOLiX Duo is both in the same visit, sauna first and then light therapy.

    • Hydrate: Drink water before and after your session.

    • Avoid Heavy Meals: It's best not to eat a heavy meal right before your session.

    • Dress Comfortably: Bring a swimsuit or use the towels provided.

  • We offer flexible memberships:

    • 4 sessions/month

    • 8 sessions/month

    • 12 sessions/month

    • Unlimited sessions/month

    Memberships are month-to-month with no long-term commitment. We also accommodate walk-in guests with single-session options.

  • Memberships are non-transferable and cannot be shared with another person. SOLiX has one studio, in South Tulsa, and your membership is used there.

  • You can schedule, reschedule, or cancel sessions through our website, APP, or by contacting us by phone. Please provide at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling to avoid losing the session.

  • Yes, we offer a Membership Suspension Policy for eligible members facing temporary circumstances such as medical issues, pregnancy, or extended travel. Suspensions preserve your promotional rates and benefits for up to 12 months.

  • In addition to our wellness services, we offer:

    • Spa-Related Items

    • Beverages

    • Branded Apparel

    Our retail offerings are carefully curated to complement your wellness journey

  • Absolutely. We encourage new guests to try a SOLiX Single or SOLiX Duo session. If you sign up for a membership within seven days of your visit, the session cost will be applied toward your membership fee.

  • Yes! We offer a referral program where members can earn rewards or discounts by referring new guests who purchase a membership or session package.

  • Photobiomodulation is the scientific term for exposing the body to specific wavelengths of red and near infrared light. It is the field of research that red light therapy comes from. The literature is still developing and we do not draw conclusions from it on your behalf. We use the word because it is the accurate name for what the equipment does.

    • Memberships: Must be canceled at least 15 days before the next billing cycle.

    • Sessions: Cancellations require 24 hours' notice to reschedule without penalty.

    • Retail Products: Returns are accepted within 14 days for unused, unopened items with proof of purchase.

  • We use low-EMF and ultra-low-EMF equipment to ensure a safe environment for all guests. Our technology meets or exceeds industry standards for safety and performance.

  • Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and have prior approval from their healthcare provider to ensure safety and suitability.

  • We do not position red light therapy or infrared sauna as weight loss services, and we do not claim they change body composition. If weight management is your goal, the work that matters is nutrition, movement, and sleep, guided by your healthcare provider. What a studio routine can offer is a standing appointment you actually keep, which some people find helps the rest of the routine hold together.

  • We do not publish calorie figures. The estimates quoted for sauna or light sessions vary widely between individuals and are not something we measure at the studio. We would rather tell you that plainly than give you a number we cannot stand behind.

  • We use low-EMF infrared saunas and whole-body light therapy systems with multiple wavelengths, and staff are trained on the equipment and studio procedure before they run sessions. If anything about your session does not feel right, tell a staff member while you are here and we will sort it out.
