Infrared Lamps Can Be Used At Home For Therapy

By Thomas Collins


Infrared lamps are devices that emit infrared radiation and are used for various purposes. Most commonly they are used in radiant heating or communication, such as in remote control devices or optical fibers. In addition, they are very popular in night vision devices or in the aid of chemical analysis of gases and liquids.

For healing, they function by sending invisible infrared light waves to your body. Once it is on, it will feel like a subtle heat on your body. However, it will penetrate the tissues that you need to heal, helping to improve your blood circulation, as well as hydration and oxygenation of that particular area.

They look like large and red incandescent bulbs of 250 Watts and most of them can also emit red, orange and yellow light. For the best results, avoid clear and halogen bulbs. What you want is the reddish one, but take note that the bulb's color could vary from yellow to a deep red. Note that you can get a ready-made infrared heat lamp or buy the bulb and socket separately. Use them with great care as they are quite fragile.

These lamps can also be used at home to treat or manage some affections, such as pain relief and anti-aging and rejuvenation treatments for skin. It can also help with other skin problems like acne, burns, rashes, infections, etc. It is also easy to set up and the costs are minimal, and you can benefit from it greatly.

If you need to use it for pain relief, place the lamp near a chair or a bed, so you can access it easily. Stay at least 18 to 24 inch away from the bulb, making sure the heat reaches the parts of the body that need pain relief. Remember to use protection for your eyes, like goggles or special glasses that will block infrared light. Keep the heat on for as long as it is tolerable and move a bit every few minutes. You should use it 3 times a day, 15-20 minutes per session. If the pain is localized in your head, make sure the sessions are not longer than 10 minutes each.

For skin anti-aging place the lamp as above, with you sitting at around 12-22 inch from it. Do not keep the heat on the area for more than 6 minutes and repeat it each 2 or 3 days. It is also important to use eye protection and to let the skin heal and not use the lamp every day.

For other skin problems you need to use it the same as described above for anti-aging. The great thing is that the lamp can kill antibiotic-resistant infections and this will help speed up the healing process.

If you are wondering when the results will appear, for pain relief you will start feeling it immediately. For skin issues, it will take a bit more time, but in 1 to 2 weeks you will notice the skin being healthier. Fine lines will start to disappear in the first 2 to 6 weeks. In 4 months you will see a big difference in how your skin looks like and will notice the wrinkles starting to disappear.
