Experience the scientifically validated benefits of infrared heat therapy in a private, physician-monitored sanctuary designed to support your “Look Fresh, Feel Strong, Live Long” journey.
Why Choose Apollo House for Infrared Sauna
At Apollo House, heat therapy goes beyond relaxation, it’s a targeted part of our health strategy. Unlike gyms that treat saunas as a side feature, we use infrared therapy as a precise method to support cardiovascular function and aid the body’s natural detox processes.
Medical Expertise First
Because heat stress mimics moderate cardiovascular exercise, safety is paramount. Our program is overseen by Dr. Michael Ghalchi, a board-certified cardiologist. We screen every client for cardiovascular suitability, ensuring your session is safe, effective, and perfectly timed to support your wider health goals, whether that’s heart health or active recovery.
Integration with Longevity
This is not an isolated treatment. We integrate infrared sessions with our IV Vitamin Therapy to replenish electrolytes instantly and our GLP-1 Weight Loss Program to accelerate metabolic burn. It is a key component of our “Feel Strong” pillar, helping you recover faster so you can train harder and live longer.
Commitment to Natural, Personalized Results
We use top-tier full-spectrum infrared technology that heats the body directly, not just the air, triggering a profound, detoxifying sweat at lower, more comfortable temperatures. This ensures deep tissue penetration for maximum collagen stimulation and muscle recovery without the stifling heat of traditional steam rooms.
About Infrared Sauna: What You Need to Know
What is Infrared Sauna Therapy?
Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you to 180°F+, our medical-grade infrared saunas use specific wavelengths of light to penetrate up to 1.5 inches beneath the skin. This heats your core directly at a gentler 120°F–140°F. This “inside-out” heating mechanism triggers a vigorous, detoxifying sweat that releases heavy metals and environmental toxins stored in fat cells.
What Infrared Sauna Treats
- Chronic Inflammation: Lowers systemic inflammation markers, aiding in pain relief and autoimmune support.
- Post-Workout Recovery: Accelerates muscle repair by flushing lactic acid and increasing oxygenated blood flow.
- Cardiovascular Health: Mimics the physiological effects of moderate exercise (increased heart rate, improved endothelial function).
- Skin Health & Anti-Aging: Stimulates collagen production and boosts circulation for a “post-sauna glow.”
- Metabolic Stagnation: Burns calories and supports metabolic rate, acting as a powerful adjunct to weight loss efforts.
Expected Results & Timeline
- Immediate: You will leave feeling lighter, with reduced muscle tension and a visible skin flush (increased circulation).
- Short-Term (4-8 weeks): With regular use, clients report improved sleep quality, clearer skin, and reduced joint pain.
- Long-Term: Consistent use is linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular events and sustained improvements in blood pressure and vascular health.
Whether you seek aesthetic refinement or deep cellular recovery, our evidence-based protocols are designed to help you live vibrantly at every age.
The Apollo House Difference: The Infrared Experience
We have elevated the humble sauna into a medical-grade recovery ritual.
Pillar 1: Medical Precision (Cardiology-Led Safety)
Heat is a stressor, a “good” stressor (hormetic stress), but one that requires respect. Dr. Ghalchi’s protocols ensure that your heart rate variability (HRV) and hydration status are considered. Unlike a gym sauna where you are unsupervised, here you are in a clinical environment where your safety is monitored.
Pillar 2: Holistic Integration (The Weight Loss Accelerator)
Weight loss releases stored toxins from fat cells into the bloodstream. Our infrared sauna is the critical “drainage” step, helping your body sweat out these liberated toxins. We also pair sessions with our “Lipostat” or “Apollo Signature” IV Drips to immediately replace lost minerals and optimize metabolic function.
Pillar 3: Exclusive, Personalized Care
Founding Members enjoy access to private sauna suites, no crowded benches or awkward silences with strangers. You control your lighting (chromotherapy), music, and temperature. It is a meditative, private escape in the middle of Manhattan.
Pillar 4: Results with Purpose
We use infrared therapy to build resilience. By conditioning your cardiovascular system and clearing cellular debris, we aren’t just making you sweat; we are training your body to handle stress better, helping you “Live Long” with vitality.
Is Infrared Sauna Right for You?
This treatment is ideal for:
- The Urban Athlete: You need faster recovery between intense workouts to maintain peak performance.
- The Detox-Conscious: You want to support your body’s natural elimination pathways in a polluted city environment.
- The Weight Loss Patient: You are actively losing weight and want to support skin elasticity and metabolic rate.
- The Stressed Executive: You need 45 minutes of total, disconnected silence and warmth to downregulate your nervous system.
It may not be for:
- Pregnant patients (due to core temperature elevation).
- Those with unstable angina or uncontrolled low blood pressure (screening is required).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it better to use an infrared sauna at a physician-led clinic?
Safety and hygiene. Public saunas are often breeding grounds for bacteria and offer zero medical oversight. At Apollo House, our suites are medical-grade sterile environments, and our cardiology-led team ensures the heat stress is safe for your specific heart health profile.
How often should I use the infrared sauna?
For general wellness, 1-2 sessions per week is excellent. For athletic recovery or active detoxification, 3-4 sessions per week may be recommended.
Will I lose weight in the sauna?
You will lose water weight immediately, but the real benefit is metabolic. The increased heart rate burns calories (similar to a brisk walk), and the detoxification supports your metabolism’s long-term efficiency. It is a support tool, not a magic fix.
What should I wear?
We provide luxury towels and wraps. Most clients choose to wear a swimsuit or simply use a towel in their private suite.
Can I do this after Botox or Fillers?
We generally recommend waiting 24-48 hours after injectable treatments before entering a sauna to minimize swelling and ensure the product settles correctly.
Is it safe for my heart?
For most people, yes, it is beneficial! Studies show regular sauna use improves heart health. However, because it raises heart rate, Dr. Ghalchi’s team will screen you to ensure it is safe for your specific condition.
