What does an infrared lamp do?
By directing the infrared lamp at the body, the body warms evenly and consistently. It is also called a heat lamp. The treatment feels pleasant because the light penetrates deep into our skin. As the lamp heats, the body temperature rises.
This deep heat stimulates blood circulation, speeds up metabolism, and helps remove waste products faster. As a result, muscles and joints recover better 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 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, blood flow improves when using an infrared lamp. The affected muscles can more quickly eliminate waste products (acids), and improved circulation delivers nutrients and building blocks faster. Oxygen uptake is enhanced, which reduces muscle pain.
Many athletes and top athletes come to us because infrared helps speed up recovery. The lamp penetrates deeply into the skin due to its strength. Liroma lamps have a power of up to 300W.
Our lamps are tiltable, so you can direct the heat exactly where you need it. They also have multiple heat settings, allowing you to adjust the intensity to your preference.
Infrared lamp for skin conditions
Research shows that the lamps also work well for skin conditions. Because infrared radiation improves blood flow, new cells can be built up faster and better. Old cells are removed more quickly.
Bacteria and impurities will loosen from your pores and cleanse your skin. This detox effect gives your skin a fresh complexion. Moreover, infrared lamps stimulate collagen production. Collagen 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 body and mind. Many people experience this as a soothing and stress-relieving experience. The heat helps relax muscles, relieves pain, and stimulates healthy blood flow and cell metabolism.
Instructions: Distance, duration, and frequency
The heat emitted by the lamp should always feel pleasant and comfortable. Want to use an infrared lamp safely and effectively? Then it’s important to consider distance, duration, and frequency. Follow these guidelines to get the most out of your treatments!
- Distance: Keep 50-100 cm distance from the lamp. Always close your eyes during facial treatments.
- Duration: Start with 5-10 minutes and build up to 10-15 minutes per session. Stop immediately if you feel discomfort.
- Frequency: Start with 2-3 times per week, increasing to 3-4 times per week for optimal results.
Tip: Use a timer and always listen to your body. This way, you get the most out of your infrared therapy!
