In recent years, saunas have grown in popularity as an effective way to relax and improve health. Among the options available are solutions such as carbon saunas and infrared sauna. Although both use infrared radiation, they differ in design and operation. In this article, we take a closer look at the carbon sauna, how it works, its benefits and its differences from the infrared sauna.
What is a carbon sauna?
The carbon sauna is a modern device in the form of a carbon quilt with three separate, adjustable heating zones. It uses infrared radiation emitted by carbon radiators that deeply heat the tissues, reaching 4-5 cm deep into the skin.
Carbon sauna vs infrared - differences
Both saunas use infrared radiation, but differ in design and method of operation.
- Carbon sauna: It uses radiant heaters in the form of a quilt, which emit infrared radiation of a specific wavelength that deeply penetrates the tissues. Sessions take place in a supine position, which promotes relaxation.
- Infrared sauna: It is a room equipped with infrared radiators where the user stays in a sitting or standing position. Infrared radiation directly heats the body, bypassing the air, allowing the user to enjoy lower temperatures than in traditional saunas.
What does a carbon sauna work for?
As with the infrared sauna, regular use of the carbon sauna can provide many health benefits, such as.
- Improving circulation: The heat emitted by infrared radiation helps to dilate blood vessels, which improves blood flow and tissue oxygenation.
- Relief of muscle and joint pain: The heat helps to relax tense muscles and can provide relief from joint pain.
- Cleansing the body: Increased sweating promotes the removal of heavy metals from the body.
- Improving skin condition: Regular sessions can help to make the skin firmer and smoother.
How do I dress for a carbon sauna?
When using the carbon sauna, it is recommended.
- Swimsuit or underwear: Dress in lightweight clothing that allows you to sweat freely and does not restrict your movements.
- Towel: It is a good idea to place a towel under the body to absorb perspiration and provide comfort while lying in the carbon duvet.
- No jewellery: Remove all jewellery before the session to avoid heating and potential burns.
How much does a carbon sauna treatment cost?
The cost of a single session in carbon sauna may vary depending on the location, the reputation of the facility and the duration of the treatment.

Does the sauna burn belly fat?
Using a carbon sauna leads to intense sweating, which can result in temporary weight loss associated with water loss. However, sauna use alone does not directly burn belly fat. A combination of regular physical activity and a well-balanced diet is required to achieve a lasting reduction in abdominal fat. The sauna can support weight loss by improving metabolism and detoxification, but it is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.
