The Japanese sauna is infratherapy technology that is a gentle yet powerful technique using far infrared radiation to induce a significant rise in body temperature and, therefore, an action on detox, slimming, sleep, skin ageing, physical preparation and muscle recovery.

The Iyashi Dome will be hitting South African shores in June 2024.

As the exclusive distributors for this product, we could not be more excited!

The main difference is that the usual sauna is based on the principle of heating the room to reach a very high temperature (ranging from 70 to 110°C) and an immediate sauna-induced sweat. In this case, the sweating process is qualified as “thermoregulatory”: to maintain its temperature and respond to the extreme change in external temperature, your body creates a superficial, uniquely hydrolipidic film. This means the sweat process is superficial and composed of 98% water.

On the contrary, in the Japanese sauna, thanks to FIR, the body temperature is raised directly. It therefore requires little time to induce a sweat with the Iyashi Dôme, however the process goes deeper and is more intense. There is a deep action on toxin elimination in the whole body.

The temperature of the air almost doesn’t increase and this makes a huge difference, both in terms of comfort of use and results.

Comfortably lying down, head outside the dome, you don’t breathe any hot air and the position boosts blood circulation.

Furthermore, there is the possibility to choose different levels of intensity for the upper and lower body, so the device can adapt the treatment to fit your individual needs.

Intensity, sweating and duration.
A “gentle” session is a treatment that targets rest and relaxation as well as helping naturally boost your metabolism and immune system. In a gentle session, you may keep your clothes on, unlike in an intense session, and sessions last from 15 to 45 minutes without ever inducing the sweating process.

As for the intense sessions, they significantly induce the sweating process and are targeted towards slimming and deep detox objectives. These sessions last for 30 minutes and are done naked or wearing disposable underwear.

An intense session comprises two 15-minute periods: the first 15 minutes, the client is lying face down, induces what is called the “sunbathing” effect. During this first period, FIR penetrates deep into the body and activates the different glands (sebaceous and sweat glands – relaying the liver and kidneys) in order to induce the sweating process called “category 2” (thick sweat, sticky but odourless, eliminating certain heavy metals).

You then turn over to lie on your back for the last 15 minutes that induce what is called the “sports” effect. Your body will first become moist then sweat abundantly. Your heart rate will accelerate and the sweating will intensify until the end of the session. You will feel a warmth that is completely different from what you usually experience (steam room, sauna) and your muscles are deeply relaxed.

Our clinical trials are based on an average of 8 sessions at a rate of 2 sessions a week, we recommend a 10-session programme to maximise your results.

Our Japanese sauna provides multiple benefits for the body and face: detox, anti-ageing, slimming, physical preparation and muscle recovery. The number of sessions is adapted to your wishes and objectives.

Just one session can help you recover from a long plane trip for example, just like 8 sessions can help you with slimming.

Iyashi Dôme is a wellbeing practice that can be carried out all year round.

Each session is unique, in terms of intensity and results. Some people may not sweat during the first sessions and that isn’t a problem. Their metabolism may be slow and need several sessions to reboot; their skin may be congested and unable to evacuate toxins as it normally would. Whatever the reason may be, it won’t prevent the secondary emunctories (urine, stools) from eliminating the other toxins and heavy metals from the body. They will still feel and have the benefits of FIR.

Despite the absence of sweat, the emission of far infrared rays will induce a feeling of total relaxation and initiate the detox process… Your Iyashi Dôme expert will fine-tune with you the appropriate intensity to set mid-session.

Just after your Iyashi Dôme session, you will feel more relaxed and often lighter, your skin will feel softer and you will feel an improvement in terms of quality of sleep and rest.

Sessions are contraindicated during pregnancy and people with serious health conditions must check with their doctor first. If unsure, ask your primary care physician or specialist. The device is intended for wellbeing and beauty and is not a medical device.

Infrared radiation (near, mid, far) is a relatively long-established technology that is used in various sectors (communication, medicine, beauty…) with success such as in maternity wards to maintain premature infants’ body temperature without disrupting the development of their respiratory tracts.
Numerous studies have demonstrated FIR’s positive and essential characteristics for the human body (cf. clinical trials). However, as is often the case, poorly used technology can be dangerous if the instructions aren’t followed properly. This is the reason why we train our partners to ensure our instructions are implemented. We have been continuously developing our device to remove risks and you can rely on our know-how and almost 20 years’ experience.

One 30-minute Iyashi Dôme session can induce the elimination of approximately 1,200 millilitres of sweat, so it is important to ensure they are adequately hydrated before and after their session.

During an intense Iyashi Dôme session your client will sweat abundantly, we therefore strongly recommend you ask your clients to come to their session without wearing makeup. If that isn’t possible, prepare the necessary cleansing products so they are able to remove their makeup before their session.

An Iyashi Dôme session is generally practiced naked. However, disposable underwear can be provided for clients who don’t feel comfortable otherwise.

Your nudity will be respected at all times thanks to the protocol, domes and linen provided.

Absolutely! The Iyashi Dôme delivers its results on its own but a combination with your other treatments will multiply and amplify results in slimming, anti-ageing and relaxation. Furthermore, you create a unique signature treatment that your clients won’t experience anywhere else. Your skills and our technology provide you with unlimited treatment combination potential.

There is no particular condition. In terms of its installation, the device being the least energy-consuming on the market, only a simple electric plug is required, along with a room that is 7 square metres minimum and, preferable, well soundproofed. We work with like-minded partners who are professional and convinced of the device’s benefits. These conditions are essential to promoting and sharing this treatment with your clients. Our partners are our ambassadors.

Technology, know-how and clinical trials. We inadvertently started a trend and numerous copies appeared, particularly in China and Korea. Invented in Japan, our technology has remained unmatched thanks to our unique know-how. A technical level that enables us to provide a device offering unparalleled results and, most of all, results that are proven by clinical trials, backed by measurements, not just by a questionnaire about how people feel even if it is conducted by laboratories authorized to carry out clinical trials.

Our device’s effect on detox has been proven (medical publication) and we have created a patented catalyst, developed exclusively by and for Iyashi Dôme technology, in order to eradicate the issue of toxins in the Iyashi Dôme.

We have also developed a unique tablet app to operate the device and enable real-time intensity adjustments, auto-maintenance and above all contactless treatment which has, during this period, become essential.

We have chosen the company LEMI, the go-to European equipment manufacturer in the Spa and medical fields, to assemble our technologies thanks to their know-how and 30 years’ experience.

We ensure your team members are trained and conduct regular follow-ups.

Sessions with the Iyashi Dôme Japanese sauna are more effective and more comfortable, because we have gained mastery of the technology and ensure a treatment protocol that is focused on users’ wellbeing.
