Sauna & water in general and specially pool washes off natural oils from the skin so they can act as antimoisturisers. Some weightloss systems include thermotreatments but regular sauna won't do much for the weight problems, sorry.

My parents have. (Everyone in Finland have a sauna and apartment house dwellers have one in the basement and have an hour per week to use it with family. We had a sauna & bbq party to celebrate Mid-Summer with friends a weekago and have had sauna & sushi party "Naked fish & raw women"
)
Electric bathhouse stove gives drier heat, wood heated sauna oven gives gives better steam IMO and has more character. Pay attention how you arrange the seat rows. The more people you can fit in the sauna, the merrier.
My dad cursed he used a bit too fresh pine on the walls and the planks produced some resin pearls at first. Sauna should always be a bit dimly lit. An ideal location is near lake or river. There are more or less ready-made packages for wall panels & seats. All depends on what sort of house/apartment & yard you have and what you want.

The muscle doesn't just go cold after the workout but keeps warm a bit longer so the "toxics" hard work produces in muscles dissolves quicker and tissue can start repairing small tears quicker.
