Infrared therapy can influence immune cell behavior, such as macrophage activity, shifting them toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype, which aids in resolving inflammation.
Studies indicate that IR light exposure can decrease levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-6, contributing to reduced inflammation.
Infrared therapy has been shown to alleviate pain and accelerate tissue healing by enhancing collagen production and reducing nerve excitability.
Infrared light stimulates mitochondrial activity, leading to increased ATP production. This process, known as photobiomodulation, enhances cellular functions and supports tissue repair.
Exposure to IR light can modulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, thereby reducing oxidative stress and its associated inflammatory responses.
IR light promotes the release of nitric oxide (NO) from cytochrome c oxidase, leading to vasodilation and improved blood flow. This enhanced circulation facilitates the removal of inflammatory mediators and supplies essential nutrients for tissue healing.
Yes, it’s non-invasive and generally safe with no known serious side effects when used correctly.
The device offers 4 intensity modes to suit your needs. The highest setting feels similar to touching a slightly warm tea cup with your fingers. The LEDs never come into direct contact with your skin, as there is always a small silicone layer for comfort and safety.
The near-infrared light spectrum is not visible to the human eye, and therefore any light that has a wavelength greater than around 810nm, you will not be able to see with your naked eye (810nm still has a visible light purple glow). Your body will still be feeling all the powers of the light wave lengths though!
Both Red Light and NIR light are a part of the light spectrum of the sun. Red Light emits wavelengths of between 600-700 nm and near-Infrared Light (NIR) is invisible to the naked eye and has a wavelength of 700nm to 1000nm. NIR can penetrate the skin much deeper than red light, including all soft tissue, connective tissue, and bone.
Typically, 30-60 minutes per session a few times a week.
