How it Works Most beauty and skincare products offer external and superficial treatments to dermatological problems. Far infrared energy works from the outside in, emitting the full bio-spectrum that penetrates the deep layers of the skin. This process stimulates molecular activity to promote the metabolism of skin cells. A good metabolic rate enables the skin tissues to produce new cells and replace old skin or dead skin cells. At the same time, wastes, excessive fat under the skin and accumulated toxins are excreted through fatty sweat. It also improves microcirculation, which enables internal nutrients and oxygen supply to reach skin cells and maintain skin moisture essential for suppleness. Improved blood circulation has also been shown to treat several skin problems, burns, cuts and wounds. Komeda's infrared thermal systems also work to eliminate stubborn fat, water and wastes trapped in skin pockets that make up unsightly cellulite. Because radiant heat is capable of twice the depth of heat penetration, Komeda can combat cellulite to a greater extent than conventional saunas. Documented skin conditions and problems that have been treated with the use of infrared treatment are the following: - Nettle rash - Clogged pores - Poor skin tone - Scars from burns & wounds - Lacerations - Acne & blackheads - Body odor - Eczema & psoriasis - Sunburn - Keloids - Cellulite - Stretch marks Improved blood circulation treats skin problems by enabling internal nutrients and oxygen supply to reach skin cells. Far infrared energy penetrates the deep layers of the skin, promoting the production of new skin cells. Accumulated wastes stored under the skin are excreted through fatty sweat.
