Far-Infrared therapy

Introducing a painless therapy called Far-Infrared therapy

Far Infrared ray (FIR) is an electromagnetic wave from the sun, with wavelength ranging from 5.6 to 25.0 um. Infrared radiation is arbitrarily subdivided into three categories: Near Infrared (0.8-1.5 um), middle infrared (1.5-5.6 um) and FIR radiation (5.6-1000 um).

Infrared radiation is that invisible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum adjacent to the long wavelengths, or red end, of the visible light range that extend up to the microwave range. However, they can be perceived as heat by specialized nerve endings known as thermo receptors in the skin.

PROMOTIVE EFFECTS OF FAR INFRARED RAY ON SKIN WOUND HEALING

The skin functions primarily as a protective barrier against the environment. Injury illness, or surgery results are the loss of integrity of large portions of the skin and leads to major disturbances of this barrier function. Delayed wound healing and dehiscence of operative are significant clinical problems, and wound care is an important factor in clinical situations. Low-energy lasers, such as helium-neon and argon laser, have been used to treatment.

BIOLOGICAL EFFECT ON FAR INFRARED THERAPY.

Insufficient microcirculation of skin leads to acute and chronic tissue ischemia in cases of trauma, reconstructive surgery, diabetes mellitus and nitric oxide (NO) play important roles in maintaining blood perfusion of the skin. Far Infrared therapy provides low energy of light emitted from an artificial radiator and has been used to many vascular disorders.

Infrared radiation is an invisible electromagnetic wave adjacent to the visible light region on the wave spectrum in nature. It has a longer wavelength than visible light. Infrared radiation transfers energy, in the form of heat, to surrounding tissues and can be perceived as heat by thermo receptors in the surrounding skin.
