Infrared light: an overview
Infrared light is an invisible form of radiation that generates heat when it comes into contact with a surface. So you don't see the light! Infrared heats the skin and can even affect the deeper tissues and joints. Not visible, but very effective for various health purposes and complaints. Ranging from pain relief to improving blood circulation and even improving the skin. There are different types of infrared lamps, and each type has its own specific properties and benefits. Later in this blog we will discuss the following types of light therapy: near-infrared (NIR), far-infrared (FIR) and red light therapy. You will undoubtedly have seen these shapes and wondered which one is best for you.
Near infrared lamps with short wave radiation (NIR – IR-A)
When we talk about the most powerful and deep-working infrared forms, we are talking about the short-wave infrared lamps. This form is often used for medical purposes, because the radiation can reach the body deepest and stimulates blood circulation. Think of the joints and tissues . The result? Dilated blood vessels and increased oxygen supply to the treated areas. This relieves pain, relaxes muscles and improves blood circulation.
Far-infrared lamps with long wave radiation (FIR – IR-C)
And then there are the far infrared lamps, which you will certainly encounter. These lamps emit a long wave and are intended to heat your body. Heat reduces pain and provides a feeling of pure relaxation. The infrared lamp not only stimulates blood circulation, which is beneficial for your health, but also promotes perspiration. Yet the main purpose of these lamps is to provide relaxation and relieve pain.
Red light therapy lamps (IR-A and red)
These lamps emit visible red light and do not fall under the infrared spectrum. Yet these lamps have many advantages and can also reduce many complaints. Red light has an anti-inflammatory effect, a beneficial effect on skin cells and helps with tissue repair. In the world of skin care, red light therapy is a popular form of skin treatment. This form is also widely used in the sports world. The effect on the cells increases energy levels and therefore sports performance. Our Liroma red light therapy lamps have been specially developed to allow you to choose between a red light or infrared light treatment. Or at the same time, even that is possible!
