Sweating excretes some toxins from your body, but as far as I know, it's not a significant amount. (The bulk of toxins are removed in your urine.)

A hot environment may help to boost your immune system by increasing your body temperature and metabolism, but seriously, a sweat suit in a sauna is not particularly safe to do. It's way too easy to become severely dehydrated, and the only people that I've ever heard who actually do this are serious athletes trying to make body weight for competition.

 

[Albert Smith]

Exercise suits which trap body heat cause rapid weight loss through perspiration. Temporary fluid losses rob the body of important mineral salts and water, but don't cause permanent weight loss or reduce body fat.

The inability to shed body heat while exercising could trigger serious heat-related illness. In extremely hot conditions, with or without the sweat suit, people burn calories slightly faster than in comfortable temperatures, but not enough to aid a weight loss program.

Working out in a sauna suit could cause rapid dehydration as well as heat exhaustion or heat stroke, especially if exercisers combine the suits with workouts in hot weather.

For people on a weight-loss program, sweat suits represent a health risk and create no lasting benefit.
