What does an Infrared lamp do?

By directing the Infrared lamp with heat at the body, the body warms up evenly and comfortably. It is also known as a heat lamp. The treatment feels pleasant. This is because the light penetrates deep into our skin. Because the lamp produces heat, the body's temperature rises.

This deep warmth stimulates blood circulation, speeds up metabolism, and helps remove waste products more quickly. As a result, muscles and joints can recover more effectively and pain is relieved. This makes Infrared lamps with heat ideal for people with muscle pain, joint pain, or stress-related complaints.

How does Infrared therapy work? Applications

Light therapy is increasingly used for both medical and relaxation purposes. The deep warmth penetrates the muscles and joints, promotes blood circulation, and supports cell renewal. Below, we discuss some of the most common applications.

Treating pain with infrared

For muscle pain, circulation improves when using an Infrared lamp with heat. The affected muscles can get rid of waste products (acids) more quickly, and improved circulation delivers nutrients and building materials faster. Oxygen absorption is enhanced, which reduces muscle pain.

Many athletes and professional athletes come to us because infrared promotes faster recovery. The lamp penetrates deep into the skin due to its power. Liroma's lamps have a power output of up to 300W.

Our lamps can be tilted, allowing you to direct the heat precisely where it is needed. They also have multiple heat settings, so you can adjust the intensity to your preference.

Infrared lamp for skin complaints

Research shows that the lamps also work well for skin complaints. Because infrared radiation improves circulation, new cells can be produced more quickly and effectively. Old cells are removed more rapidly.

Bacteria and impurities will loosen from your pores and cleanse your skin. This detox effect gives your skin a fresh complexion. In addition, Infrared lamps stimulate collagen production. This is a natural protein that keeps your skin supple and youthful. Wrinkles, pigmentation spots, and other imperfections become less visible.

Infrared heat for stress and fatigue

Just 10-12 minutes under an Infrared lamp immediately relaxes the body and mind. Many people experience this as a soothing and stress-relieving experience. The warmth helps relax muscles, relieves pain, and stimulates healthy circulation and cellular metabolism.
