I recently started a cleanse, and one of the reccomendations is to go to a sauna a few times a week. I don't like steam saunas, and I prefer infrared saunas instead. My question is what type of effect will it have on scarring? I know it claims to help with skin elasticity and acne scarring (surprisingly my face has cleared, although i attribute that to the cleanse-not the sauna) I will be getting Lipo/BBL and TT in a few months, is it safe to go into the sauna after? Will it help the TT scar?
