Well SupportedSauna use activates heat shock proteins (HSPs), which help fold proteins correctly, stimulate pathways for building new blood vessels, and increase mitochondria.

Well SupportedDry sauna activates heat-shock proteins in the skin, and a modest 1°C increase in core temperature is sufficient for this activation without risking hyperthermia.

Well SupportedHeat shock proteins are activated by heat exposure to prevent protein misfolding and aggregation, and remain active afterward, improving general protein folding.

Partially SupportedIcing the face and neck during sauna use slows the rise in core body temperature.
