No, it’s more. Sweat released from the pores will carry fat molecules. Fat cells begin to liquefy at 110˚F and can be released through the pores along with sweat during an average 30 or 45 minute infrared sauna session. The weight loss is more than water weight; it is actual fat loss. Additionally, because infrared heat penetrates the skin and raises your core body temperature, your heart rate will also increase, thus allowing you to burn calories – the equivalent of jogging for an hour!
