Using infra-red rays is particularly indicated for poor blood circulation in the skin. These rays penetrate the skin and can help to stimulate circulation, which enhances blood flow to the area being treated. This increase in circulation can promote healing, improve oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues, and facilitate the removal of waste products.
Infra-red therapy is often utilized to address conditions that benefit from improved circulation, such as muscle soreness, joint pain, and other conditions where blood flow is compromised. It can also be effective in skincare treatments by aiding in the recovery and rejuvenation of skin that may be lacking adequate circulation.
In contrast, healthy blood circulation is not an indication for infra-red therapy, as there would be no need to stimulate blood flow in these cases. Likewise, excessive oil production typically requires different treatments focused on balancing sebum rather than improving circulation, and skin sensitivity might necessitate gentler modalities that do not involve heat, since infra-red could exacerbate sensitivity issues.
