What are some of the differences between the Healthlight and more well known infrared therapy products?
Some infrared therapy devices utilize technology that is several years old. They may use monochromatic non-visible infrared light energy diodes that get very hot. Small pads (4 1/4″ by 2 1/4″) with limited flexibility, or are non-pad wand type devices. These devices may release infrared energy at varying nanometers of output and minimal milliwatts of power per diode. The Healthlight System, which has been available almost 3 years, uses a newer combination of non-visible and visible infrared light energy to promote regeneration and revascularization of damaged capillaries by releasing excess nitric oxide from cells.Healthlight’s unique visible light feature (640nm), which can penetrate 8-10mm, is very beneficial in treating problems close to the skin surface. These include wounds, cuts, scars, trigger and acupuncture points. Visible light is also particularly effective in treating infections. The Invisible Infrared light (880nm) has been shown in studies that it can penetrate to a depth
