The always perky Rachael and Dr. Ian (LOVE him on VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club!) discussed that these types of infrared saunas are used by celebrities and medical spas for significant personal weight loss.
We watched today’s show with great interest because, although they were discussing the SlimDome, Sunlighten’s Solo System™ portable infrared sauna was the ORIGINAL single-unit infrared sauna. The Solo System, though, is offered to the public at a More >
