How the session works
An Infared Sauna Session uses deep penetrating infrared warmth to raise skin temperature and produce a sustained heating sensation over a 30 MINUTES period. Clients sit or recline while the infrared energy warms tissues beneath the skin surface; this promotes sweating and a subjective sense of relaxation without steam or high ambient humidity.
The outcome of a session is shaped by individual tolerance, hydration, and recent activity. Washington’s humid-subtropical climate and a client’s prior exercise, clothing, or medications can influence how much they sweat or how hot they feel during a 30 MINUTES session priced at $49.
What to expect during
During the 30 MINUTES session you’ll experience steadily increasing warmth and likely perspiration; staff will explain check-in and where to sit or recline before the timer begins. You can pause or end the session early if you feel uncomfortable; the environment focuses on comfort and relaxation rather than high-heat steam conditions.
After the session allow time to cool down and hydrate; light movement and rest are common next steps. Many clients schedule session slots around commutes from Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood or Brookland-CUA Metro stations, or before visits to Union Market or the U.S. National Arboretum for convenient self-care.
Preparing and local logistics
Bring a water bottle and wear loose, breathable clothing to and from your appointment; a quick shower afterwards is optional. Plan to arrive a few minutes early for check-in. Studio Chique serves Langdon and nearby neighborhoods like Brookland, Brentwood, and College Park, making short visits practical for commuters and local families.
Flexible early-morning and evening booking options accommodate parents and shift workers. Consider pairing this 30 MINUTES session with other self-care before or after weekend visits to the U.S. National Arboretum or Union Market. Local parking and Metro access at Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood support easy appointments for those traveling from surrounding communities.
