Infrared Therapy:
New
Technology
for Skin Care
Treatments
Infrared therapy is based on applying a wavelength
of infrared beams in micro-second applications
(measured in nanometers, or nm). This is one of the
most sophisticated technologies for treatments for
body contouring, firming of the skin, and skin
rejuvenation, for a few examples. RF treatment is
typically applied in ranges from 850- to 1750nm
pulses. With the frequency of the pulses, the
professional is able to control temperatures that
reach different layers of the skin in varying depths.
Infrared therapy does not just hide the symptoms,
like medicines, but encourages healing of the cause
of the pain.
Laser:
Laser technology is used in cosmetic treatments
(both intrusive and non-intrusive, depending on
what it is being used for). Various treatments that
laser therapy range from include hair reduction,
skin maintenance (from wrinkles or scars from
acne), and removal of blemishes (these include
moles or age spots). Laser can also be used for
tattoo removal and even teeth whitening or
vascular lesions, such as skin discolorations like
birthmarks.
