Infrared lamps: treatment with heat and light

Infrared radiation (IR) is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 0.74 microns to 1-2 mm, located between visible light and microwave range. In other words, we cannot see this radiation, but we can feel it as heat.

The effect of IR radiation on human health depends on its spectral range and intensity. IR radiation is categorized into three ranges:

• IR-A (near infrared): 700 nm-1400 nm (0.7 µm-1.4 µm) - heats tissues at a depth of 8-10 mm and is most widely used in physical therapy and rehabilitation;
• IR-B (medium IR): 1400 nm-3000 nm (1.4 μm-3 μm) - affects the superficial layers of the skin to a greater extent;
• IR-C (far IR): 3000 nm-1 mm (3 µm-1000 µm) - used for general heating and improving blood circulation.

In medical practice, IR radiation is used to treat various diseases due to the following effects:

• Circulatory stimulation - IR radiation helps to dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow, which helps in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and muscle pain.
• Anti-inflammatory effect - deep heating of tissues reduces inflammation and relieves pain, which is useful in arthritis and rheumatism.
• Enhancing tissue regeneration - IR radiation stimulates metabolic processes and promotes rapid healing of wounds and recovery from injuries.

In case of injuries and skin disorders of various etiologies infrared radiators help to accelerate tissue healing: chemical processes in the body are activated, which contribute to regeneration. Infrared radiation stimulates the production of biologically active substances, activates local blood supply by expanding blood vessels, triggers the processes of natural healing of tissues.

In what diseases are used infrared radiators?

• ENT diseases and various acute respiratory diseases - infrared lamps have shown high efficiency in the treatment of colds, such as otitis media, rhinitis, pharyngitis and tonsillitis.
• Joint and muscle pain - infrared radiation helps relax muscles and relieve spasms, so these irradiators are especially useful for people suffering from cramps, arthritis, osteoarthritis and sciatica. Heating improves blood supply to the tissues, saturating them with oxygen and nutrients.
• Diseases and injuries of the skin - infrared radiation is effective in the treatment of burns, frostbite, eczema and to accelerate the healing of postoperative wounds.

Infrared lamps are also successfully used in cosmetology to treat acne, dermatitis, and various skin irritations. Infrared lamps can be ordered on our website with delivery across Kyiv and Ukraine. The price of an infrared lamp in our store remains affordable for a wide range of users.

How to properly adjust the red lamp for effective treatment

An infrared lamp emits different types of spectra, which are used to treat various ailments:

• near IR (IR-A) - for deep tissue warming in the treatment of muscle pain, arthritis and to accelerate wound healing;
• medium IR (IR-B) - for the treatment of skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, as well as for improving bronchial asthma and allergies;
• Far IR (IR-C) - for general body revitalization, improving metabolism and eliminating toxins.

Before using an infrared lamp, you should consult a doctor to receive recommendations on conducting sessions, taking into account the type of ailment and your individual characteristics.

For example, for otitis media, the impact of IR radiation is allowed only if the pathology develops in the outer or middle ear without suppuration, and with bruises lamp can be used not immediately after the injury, but two to three days after it was received.

Before purchasing an infrared lamp, it is important to carefully review all contraindications. The lamp should be used with caution in cases of hypertension and ischemic heart disease.

In addition, short-wave infrared radiation with prolonged exposure can have a negative effect on the cells of the body, changing protein molecules and causing surface burns. Therefore, the bulb should be located at a distance of 20-30 cm from the treated skin surface.

It should also be known that there are contraindications for the use of the infrared lamp for therapeutic purposes, namely:

• blood diseases;
• purulent processes;
• cancer and neoplasms;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• active stage of tuberculosis;
• taking hormonal drugs, antitumor drugs, immunomodulators;
• individual intolerance.

Before purchasing and using an infrared lamp, carefully read the instructions and follow your doctor’s recommendations regarding the frequency and duration of sessions. Proper use of the lamp will help you achieve the maximum health benefits.
