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 into deeper tissues and joints. It is invisible, but therefore very effective for various health purposes and symptoms. These range from pain relief to improving circulation and even improving the skin. There are different types of infrared lamps, and each type has its own specific properties and benefits. Further on 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 come across these forms, wondering 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 are referring to short-wave infrared lamps. This form is often used for medical purposes because the radiation can reach deepest into the body and stimulates blood circulation. This includes the joints and tissues. The result? Dilated blood vessels and an 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 far-infrared lamps, which you will certainly come across. These lamps emit long-wave radiation and are intended to warm your body. Heat helps reduce pain and provides a feeling of complete relaxation. The infrared lamp not only stimulates circulation, which benefits your health, but also promotes perspiration. Nevertheless, 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 within the infrared spectrum. Nevertheless, these lamps have many benefits and can also help reduce a wide range of symptoms. Red light has an anti-inflammatory effect, benefits skin cells, and helps with tissue repair. In the world of skincare, Red Light Therapy is therefore a popular form of skin treatment. This form is also widely used in the sports world. Due to its effect on cells, energy levels and therefore athletic performance increase. Our Liroma red light therapy lamps have been specially developed to allow you to choose between a red light or Infrared light treatment. Or both at the same time—even that is possible! Do you have various symptoms and need different types of radiation for your treatment? Then this will be the best choice for you.

Infrared lamps for general ailments
Do you suffer from cold hands, blue fingers, fatigue, intermittent claudication, a cold, or stiff muscles?

NIR infrared light improves circulation, dilates your blood vessels, and provides relief for cold hands and feet. It can even reduce cold symptoms by warming your nose and throat.

Red light can improve your circulation, reduce inflammation, and give you an overall feeling of well-being and energy.
Infrared lamps for skin and facial concerns

Infrared lamps for sports injuries
Sports injuries, joint or muscle pain, tired muscles, or bursitis? Well… unfortunately, these are also part of exercising regularly. Fortunately, light therapy offers benefits for preventing these situations or helping them heal faster once the damage has been done. 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 injuries heal, while the deep infrared light penetrates the 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 low mood or depressive symptoms
Low mood and depression have no simple solutions, but red light therapy can be a valuable addition to help improve your mood. How? It affects your biological clock, stimulates the production of melatonin (your 'sleep hormone'), and increases serotonin levels (your 'happiness hormone'). Especially in the case of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), red light can reduce symptoms while also reducing 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!
