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 cannot see the light! Infrared warms the skin and can even penetrate 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 enhancing 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 have probably come across these forms 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 deeply penetrating forms of infrared, we mean short wave infrared lamps. This type is often used for medical purposes because the radiation can reach the deepest parts of the body and stimulates blood circulation. Think of 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)
Then there are the far-infrared lamps, which you will definitely encounter. These lamps emit a long wave and are intended to warm your body. Heat reduces pain complaints and provides a feeling of pure relaxation. The infrared lamp not only stimulates blood circulation, which is beneficial for your health, but also promotes sweating. However, the main goal of these lamps is to provide relaxation and pain relief.
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 benefits and can also reduce a variety of complaints. Red light has anti-inflammatory effects, a beneficial effect on skin cells, and helps with tissue repair. In the world of skincare, Red Light Therapy is a popular form of skin treatment. It is also widely used in sports. Due to its effect on cells, energy levels increase, thereby improving sports performance. Our Liroma Red Light Therapy lamps are specially developed to allow you to choose between a red light or infrared light treatment. Or even both at the same time! Do you have different complaints and need different types of radiation for your treatment? Then this will be the best choice for you.

Sports injuries, joint or muscle pain, tired muscles, or bursitis? Well… unfortunately, that comes with regular sports activity. Fortunately, light therapy offers benefits to prevent these situations or help them heal faster if damage has already occurred. For active athletes, a combination of a Red Light Therapy lamp and infrared light is incredibly effective! The red light reduces inflammation, increases ATP levels, and helps heal injuries, while the deep infrared light penetrates muscles and joints for pain relief and rapid recovery. Choose our Red Light Therapy lamps for better results, faster recovery, more energy, and less pain.
Infrared Lamps for Sadness or Depressive Complaints
Sadness and depression have no simple solutions, but Red Light Therapy can be a valuable addition to improve your mood. How? It influences your biological clock, stimulates melatonin production (your 'sleep hormone'), and increases serotonin levels (your 'happiness hormone'). Especially with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), red light can reduce symptoms and simultaneously reduce stress and anxiety through its calming effects. Important: Red Light Therapy is a complementary treatment, especially for severe depression. Always consult a specialist before trying this therapy. Discover our red light lamps!
