What does an Infrared lamp do?
By directing the Infrared lamp at the body, the body warms up evenly and uniformly. It is also known as a heat lamp. The treatment feels pleasant. This is because the light penetrates deep into our skin. As the lamp generates heat, the body's temperature rises.
This deep heat 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 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 heat penetrates into 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. The affected muscles can eliminate waste products (acids) more quickly, and improved circulation delivers nutrients and building blocks faster. Oxygen absorption is enhanced, which reduces muscle pain.
Many athletes and professional athletes come to us because infrared supports 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 problems
Research shows that the lamps also work well for skin problems. Because infrared radiation improves circulation, new cells can be formed 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 promotes relaxation of body and mind. Many people experience this as a soothing and stress-relieving experience. The heat helps relax muscles, relieves pain and stimulates healthy circulation and cellular metabolism.
Instructions for use: Distance, duration and frequency
The heat emitted by the lamp should always feel pleasant and comfortable. Would you like to use an Infrared lamp safely and effectively? Then it is important to take distance, duration and frequency into account. Follow these guidelines to get the most out of your treatments!
- Distance: Keep 50–100 cm away from the lamp. For facial treatments, always keep your eyes closed.
- Duration: Start with 5–10 minutes and build up to 10–15 minutes per session. Stop immediately if you experience discomfort.
- Frequency: Start with 2–3 times per week, gradually building up to 3–4 times per week for optimal results.
Tip: Use a timer and always listen to your body. This way, you can get the most out of your infrared therapy!
