Introduction: Ancient Energy and Modern Luxury
In today’s fast-paced world, the sauna is no longer just a luxury — it’s a wellness ritual that triggers powerful regenerative processes in your body.
Whether you prefer a Finnish sauna with dry heat or a bio sauna with a milder temperature, every minute inside brings unique health benefits.
At West 65 Wellness & Spa in New Belgrade, our members experience firsthand how the sauna acts as a powerful ally for detoxification, immunity, and overall well-being.
After 5–10 Minutes: Detoxification and Improved Circulation
In just a few minutes, your body starts releasing toxins through sweat.
Your pores open, blood circulation accelerates, and your skin becomes visibly clearer and more radiant.
In a bio sauna, where the temperature is lower, this process occurs gradually — perfect for those who want the benefits of the sauna without extreme heat.
After 12–15 Minutes: Heart and Immunity Activation
Heat exposure increases the production of white blood cells, strengthening your natural defense system.
Your heart rate rises, mimicking the effect of a light cardio workout.
During this phase, levels of growth hormone may increase up to five times, boosting muscle and cellular recovery.
After 20–30 Minutes: Deep Regeneration and Anti-Aging Effects
Blood vessels expand, the body becomes more oxygenated, and heat shock proteins begin to activate.
These proteins help repair damaged cells, reduce inflammation, and slow down the aging process.
In the Finnish sauna, these effects are especially pronounced due to higher temperatures and drier air.
After 30 Minutes: Metabolic Reset and Energy Balance
At the 30-minute mark, your body enters a state of deep regeneration.
Blood sugar levels drop, insulin sensitivity improves, and your metabolism stabilizes.
Remember to rehydrate afterward — water or electrolyte drinks help restore your body’s natural balance.
After 60 Minutes: Maximum Benefits — With Caution
A full hour in the sauna can boost growth hormone levels up to 16 times, promoting fat burning and tissue regeneration.
However, after 60 minutes, the body loses more minerals, so it’s important to rest and cool down gradually.
At West 65 Wellness & Spa, our members often combine shorter Finnish and bio sauna sessions with relaxation in the thermal zone — achieving the perfect balance of health and indulgence.
