Application

This infrared lamp is only intended for radiating the human body.
Infrared radiation causes warmth to be transported to the human body. The blood supply in the radiated skin is increased and the metabolic turnover in the field of temperature is enhanced. The mode of action of the infrared light encourages the body to heal; healing processes are thus assisted in a specific area. Infrared light can be used as a parallel treatment for diseases of the ear, nose, and throat and to assist in facial and beauty care, especially in the case of impure skin. However, first, ask your family doctor whether the application in the individual case is advisable from a medical standpoint.

In case of acutely inflammatory processes, radiation should only be carried out after consulting a doctor.
Always limit the period of use and check the reaction of the skin.
Medications, cosmetics, or food can lead to an over-sensitive or allergic reaction of the skin under certain conditions. Radiation must be ended immediately in this case.
An appropriate distance between the infrared lamp and the desired treatment area must be maintained during treatment so that no skin irritation, such as tingling, itching, burning, or too high heat sensitivity occurs. Stop the treatment if this occurs. Alternatively, increase the radiation distance and/or reduce the radiation duration.
This device is not intended for radiation from above.
The minimum distances described in these instructions for use must be adhered to.
Never fall asleep during radiation!
Prolonged use can cause burns to the skin.

The recommended duration of treatment is maximum of 15 minutes and should be limited to a maximum of two treatments a day. We recommend selecting a shorter radiation period to start with. However, the skin of some people may show an over-sensitive (e.g. with extreme redness, blistering, itching, heavy sweating) or allergic reaction to heat radiation, even when the lamp is used correctly. If symptoms are not relieved after 6 to 8 applications, stop using the device and consult your doctor.
