How does infrared radiation work?

Heat promotes blood circulation and supports the healing process. The infrared lamp generates intensive radiation that is directed to the part of the body that is being treated in the form of light. This light beam has the property of penetrating the skin down to the deepest skin layers. The radiation is then converted into intensive, extremely effective heat in the tissue and muscles.
The heat that is generated in this way expands the vessels, encourages the blood flow and stimulates circulation and metabolism.
